Emirates Park Zoo and Resort

We went to Emirates Park Zoo and Resort where we had breakfast with the giraffes. Breakfast with Giraffes is so popular that reservations are made two or three months in advance. If you know the date you want to go, make your reservation early. Breakfast is served from 8am to 10am, so we arrived at 7:30am. When you first enter the room, you may be surprised by the size of the giraffe. At breakfast, there were four giraffes in total, one of which was a baby giraffe. They were all so cute and I was able to feed them vegetables with my hands. I was able to spend a dreamlike time. Afterwards, we were able to feed the hippos and camels. The otter I met on my way home was very smart and cute. You have to go early in the morning, but it will be a wonderful memory. Highly recommend!

Emirates Park Zoo is a well-maintained and engaging destination that offers a memorable experience for visitors of all ages. The zoo is home to a wide variety of animals, including big cats, giraffes, elephants, zebras, reptiles, and birds, allowing visitors to see wildlife up close in a safe and educational environment. One of the standout features of the zoo is its interactive experiences, such as animal feeding sessions and guided encounters, which are especially exciting for children and families. The zoo is thoughtfully laid out with clear pathways, shaded areas, and seating, making it comfortable to explore even during warmer weather. The enclosures are clean and spacious, and the animals appear healthy and well cared for. In addition to the animal exhibits, Emirates Park Zoo offers useful facilities such as cafés, rest areas, gift shops, and play zones for kids. Educational displays and staff interactions help raise awareness about wildlife conservation and animal care. Overall, Emirates Park Zoo is an excellent place for a full-day family outing. It combines entertainment, education, and relaxation, making it a highly recommended attraction for both residents and tourists visiting Abu Dhabi.

It is a very nice place to spend a day with your family. Animals are maintained very nicely. All the experience werw good. We had a very good time there. Some websites which issue tickets will say children under 3 are free to enter but only children under 2 are allowed free entry. We went with same thought and had to buy a ticket for 2 years & 10 months old toddler at the entrance.

Recently, we stayed for one night and everything was superb. The zoo experience was exceptional, and we enjoyed it a lot. We also experienced their cafés and restaurants—everything was 5/5, including the prices. However, at some point, they need to make the rooms tidier and improve their service. I had to call three times to request water bottles and an iron. Thank you, Emirates Zoo and Resort for having us.

We went on Sunday during the UAE National Holiday weekend. The zoo is amazing. There are many different species under one roof. There is option to feed animals at nominal cost. It is a very good attraction for young kids. The highlight for me were the Royal Bengal White Tiger and the Black Panther. There are 3 categories for tickets. We went with the lowest one costing AED 65 per head. The top variant costs AED 125 but there is a 20% fazaa discount applicable bringing the price to AED 100. Kindly note that Fazaa discount is applicable only on the top variant and not all ticket variants. Since it is all in open air, it is better to go during winters. Start early to have ample time to cover and enjoy the entire zoo. Outside food is not allowed (except small kids) and the food options inside are on the expensive side. You may have a heavy meal before entering in to avoid hunger pangs inside. There is ample parking nearby at a short walking distance. Overall, I highly recommend this place for all age groups to have a fun filled day.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Emirates Park Zoo & Resort! This is so much more than just a typical zoo. It offers incredibly close and interactive animal encounters that made the visit truly memorable, The highlight of our trip was definitely the feeding sessions. Being able to hand-feed the elephants and giraffes was a unique and enjoyable experience that we highly recommend. The animals were well cared for, and the enclosures were clean and spacious. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to answer questions and help with feeding activities. We also enjoyed the exciting Bird of Prey show, which was both entertaining and educational. If you are looking for a highly engaging and educational day out in Abu Dhabi, Emirates Park Zoo is a must-visit. It is the perfect place to make lasting family memories.
