The variety of animals is what makes the zoo interesting, it offers zones for wildlife animals, reptiles, birds, primate areas, and others.

My kids enjoyed their time in the park so much and hope to visit it again soon. But in my opinion, I would only visit the park if the weather were nice since most of the activities are outdoor. I would highly recommend it to my friends and hope everyone will have the chance to visit this amazing park

The price of the tickets is reasonable, the price for adults and older children is around 35 AED, and children under 3 years old can enter for free.
