The zoo has a versatile collection of various species of animals from around the world. My 2 year old daughter was very excited to see them. The reason am giving 3 stars is the glasses for viewing the animals were not at all clean and was impossible to get a good picture with the animals which is an integral part of visiting the zoo with kids.

Its an amazing place to watch various animals and birds especially the rare ones. It was very hot though we preferred going at 4 PM. Being Al Adha time got good offer for entry along with complimentary meal and 3 live shows.Its a good place to enjoy with your friends and family but would advice you to go in later evening to avoid sweating out. Elephant show was OK OK but we enjoyed SEA LION show. It also has many eat outs inside. Felt numb and sad for those birds whose legs were tied for our happiness. Rest Its Its good place to go in vacation and spend around 2-3 hours of time.

For the most part the zoo was very nice. Feeding the animals was an amazing experience. I do feel bad for many of the animals as they looked very bored and hot. I do wish some of the bigger animals had more room to roam like camels and elephants. Also if the birds of prey had more space to explore rather its enclosing seeing as they are natural hunters and not sit on a post all day in the cage that they were in. Overall the staff was very pleasant to me. I enjoyed it.

A wonderful place to take your kids to. So many different species to watch and look at. I was fortunate enough to be able to capture some magic. Since it’s the summer setting in already, so try making a visit post sunshine hours.

Review №19

This place is pretty amazing and very big. Driving up I was not impressed at all and saw the parking lot looks like 10 people could fit in. The animals are all great and you can walk around for hours doing different activities. We stayed the night in the resort and the room was honestly perfect and we were overlooking the animals. I would recommend breakfast with the giraffes (book at least 3 weeks in advance), lunch with the leopard and also go to all the shows as they are all worth it. They have a nice pool for the kids and Feed the animals because it is a great experience. Only reason they got 4 stars is because they have 2 restaurants on the site and they are both terrible. The food that comes with the giraffe and leopard experience is the same food and not good.

Nice place to be with loved ones 😍at least we can have a glance of those wildest beasts in captivity. i didnt get map, so i guess i missed some places . i didnt see aquatic animals, and bird species are very few i guess.

We stayed in the resort for a night. You get free access to the zoo with the booking. If you are an animal lover, this will be your heaven then! The rooms have been renovated, lovely interiors makes you feel you are in one of Kenya’s resorts.When there, meet Abby the friendly Giraffe, she responds to her name, try calling her and you will see her coming toward you. It’s less crowded during the week days. So we had Abby’s attention most of the time haha!You may also book “breakfast with giraffe”, always fully booked. Make sure you book it online ahead of time. Great experience for families with kids I believe.

Review №22

A lot of unique animals that I never saw from Al Ain zoo. Enjoyed feeding the giraffe for only 10aed. Worth the money. My only concern is the cages for some animals especially the birds are too small for them to play around. All in all I enjoyed my time.suitable for family with kids because they can walk around without getting tired. I recommend to come in the morning to avoid crowd.

Nice place. Variety of animals and birds to see..there are many interactive sessions with the animals (Feeding the Elephants, Feeding ducks, Seal show, etc) that are a MUST to try... Breakfast with Birds is also quite impressive. Trainers and Guide are very friendly and helpful and they share very informative knowledge about the animals...Winter visit is recommended so that the caged animals can be seen.

The resort is fun. The family villas spacious and comfortable and the staff very very nice. We had the iftar with the big cats which I can highly recommend. We did decide to check out early as a personal decision vis a vis the zoo itself.

The Emirates Park Zoo is one of the best zoos not just in UAE which is located abudhabi. Our second visit and still a very good experience, highly recommended for kids.Zoo has spacious parking lot no need to worry for the conjunction.It is kept clean with clean bathrooms and drinking waters through out.Crowds can be issue on weekends, so plan on weekdays if possible.It has hundreds of animals across hundreds of species for public view. It is a super fun place to visit, but is also educational. Well maintained zoo and animals looks healthy and active.Hot sun was never an issue because they provid air conditioned corridors.

This zoo is very convenient to go if your in Abu Dhabi. Half of the place is indoor air-conditioning for us and rest is out side.You can have a very clear view of the animals from the glass 👌🥰😍You have birds show.You have many more shows like sea lion dancing. This place is worth going and not too expensive. Its a fun place with kids.They will really enjoy it.

I have been a frequent visitor to Emirates Park Zoo and love watching all sorts of animals. I recently visited during National Day Holidays and loved it again.Pros: Staff reminding visitors to maintain social distance and the food at The Hide was amazing. Elephant Show was amazing.Cons: Some of the enclosures were closed and couple of them converted to generate more money.

It’s a great family place but very busy on weekends. Best time to go is in the afternoon from 1400. You can even feed some of the animals.The zoo takes extra efforts to ensure that humans don’t touch the animals, so if you visit please respect this!

A nice place with some beautiful animals. Educational, recreational and stay-cational place. Good for kids and adults both. With hotel just beside zoo where you can view animals right in front of your room door. Book before you go and a perfect place for at least one day stay to be close to wildlife.

A Good place to take the kids , ideally use the smiles app to get a 50% discount, however be aware its Hot as hell, even the animals are panting and some of them are just lying in the water pan given to them , Facility is Huge with a lot of potential but it needs to be upgraded to reach its full potential especially when it comes to the scorching temperature, the little ones after sometimes wanted to just go back and sit in the car as they were all red with the heat, activity wise I recommend the elephant encounter it was presented very well by the trainer who gave opportunities for the kids to interact with them in a safe and professional manner. They pet my daughter play ball with them which was indeed a memorable experience

Review №51

Great zoo with lots to see and definitely worth a visit, particularly if you are new to the region - coming from North America and Asia, the animals here are quite different. Not a super big zoo, especially as some exhibits are closed during the pandemic, but you can easily spend 2 to 3 hours. The birds section was particularly interesting as they let the ducks roam around the area. Other notable exhibits are all the desert animals that are common in the region. Note that as 80% of the exhibits are outdoors, but mostly under shade cover, this is definitely a place during the winter season.Safety is done well here. Coming on a Friday, the zoo was surprisingly not very packed and very easy to keep your distance. There is sanitizers all over the park and employees are good at making sure there is social distancing/mask wearing. On downside due to Covid is there is limited shows and no feedings. Also as there is only online ticket sales which means no using the Entertainer but at least you can buy tickets as you get to the door.

Abu dhabi is a place where you can explore beautiful places and everytime it amazes you with lots of new things, if you are having toddlers with you this is the best place to visit, you can feed the animals over there,if you are very keen about animals it will take you some what around 4-5hrs to roam the place with detail, and there will be shows of animals, as it was COVID-19 time they have stopped it for safety reason ,but for sure you won’t feel bored at this place, catch this place this weekend and rnjoy with your family and friends 😊

We had dinner with the elephants which was once of a lifetime experience. Special area reserved for us near the elephants, very friendly staff with high quality warm food. You can also have breakfast with the giraffe in the morning.We have been told from the staff that the zoo was primarily started for rescued animals however, I see so much potential and Some work could be done to improve the zoo, I believe it’s a bit tourist attraction. For example, creating man made wetlands and cool ecosystems and greenhouses could really help the animals in the heat and bring more life to the zoo.

I came today at the morning 9:40 with my kids every thing was closed ! Even i had look for any ice cream shop or water inside I cannot find in the whole zoo just the Hide restaurant thanks god it wasn’t closed ! but it was in the entrance which was very long way to walk under the sun.I had call the visitor service yesterday they didn’t tell me about that ! also a lot of animals we didn’t see !Furthermore, the vitreous diaphragm for animals wasn’t clean all the tables and chair wasn’t even clean very frustrated in this hot weather and even i cant sit in a clean place! Need a lot maintenance work and censorship.

I would rate this a above average Zoo. Though the area is small, but the games are nicely maintained. The staff are co0perative. The highlight as off now are the elephants, and the tigers. Ya I forgot the bears too, havent seen in other zoos in UAE that I have visited. But the whole trip is over soon, unless you wait for the shows, which are quite apart.

Emirates zoo is one of the best place to see in UAE, located in Abu Dhabi....You can visit this place any time in the whole year and winter season is preferred, because most of the areas covered (Under the shed). So you may not feel much hot during summer also....Childrens definitely enjoy this place...OUTSIDE food is not allowed but you can find small cafeteria inside the ZOO....Feeding animals makes you more happy....

Review №84

Ive been in lots of Zoos in different countries, but this one i would highly recommend of youd like to be very near to the animals, to see them from close distance and even take a selfies!Ots not because the area is small, no, ots quite big, and looks animals are happy and nicely taken care here. Most of them are homesticated and can easily come and let you pet them ! The most adorable for me were the gazelles and this type of small deers and goats, like from cartoon Bambi! They were soooo cute and funny, also the baby ox, which size is same with a small dog!You can stay in their hotel with amazing big pool also! Which is only 2 floors. And inside the Zoo. So you can see the animals easily from your window or balcony. The rooms are beautiful and clean. Very helpful staff.But its very hard to reach them on phone, from the booking.com they always fully reserved. So you have to be quick and book in 2-3 weeks advance!

First time back since revamp. Its a nice place to spend time now, and presented really nicely. Always sad to see animals in captivity but most are rescue animals so having a better quality of life than previously. We did the leopard lunch experience and it was excellent. Informative and entertaining, the staff really looked after us and our young kids loved being so close to the leopards and lions. Impressed by quality of food too. Great family day out.

Amazing zoo with lots good animal shows but for the price they charge I believe they should provide better facilities such as more cubicles for toilets and cleaner toilets. The toilets were so dirty and old. Please do something about this as this is the reason I would not visit it anytime soon.Other than that the two restaurants serve lovely food. They could improve on their speed of service.

Nice park to spend you time in with you family and kids who will enjoy the park the most.We like feeding animals with food. It was fun and not all zoos allowed feeding the animals.Unfortunately fish area was closed and under maintenance last week. But the rest of the zoo is perfect.
