The roar of a Lion, the trumpet of an elephant and the shriek of a parrot, these might sound odd in the deserts of UAE! But this is a reality in one of the best zoos in the country and the Middle East, at the Emirates Park Zoo and Resort. The zoo is home to more than 1,700 animals from around the world including wild and farm animals. The well-maintained zoo is staffed with animal specialists who take care of the animals and host sessions and shows where they teach visitors about the animals and their lifestyle. The Emirates Zoo is an excellent destination for wholesome family fun.
Why Visit Emirates Park and Zoo
The Emirates Zoo was started in 2008 in Abu Dhabi as an initiative to bring nature and wildlife closer to the people of UAE. It began as a private endeavor that has flourished into an edutainment destination where families can come and interact with wildlife. The infrastructure is safe, secure and ideally suited for families seeking to introduce their children to the wonders of nature and witness animals that are rare even in the wild today!
The Emirates Park Zoo has several animal habitats and enclosures as well as live shows like Breakfast with Giraffes and Parrots, Sea Lion Show and feeding of several animals. At every point, the zoo allows for exploration and interaction with animals with an element of fun. The friendly staff and food and entertainment options keep the whole family happy.
The adjoining Emirates Park Resort is a beautiful property with family chalets and rooms that offer a splendid view of the animal caves and enclosures, providing a unique wildlife experience. It is perfect for families who wish to extend their trip to the zoo over a weekend. Within a short distance of other Abu Dhabi attractions like Ferrari World and Yas Waterpark, the Emirates Park Zoo is the ultimate holiday destination for a weekend of entertainment, adventure, and roaring fun!

The Animals at Emirates Park Zoo
The Petting Zoo
The urban and rural divide has grown so wide that city children often go their entire childhood without so much as a glimpse of a farm animal. The Petting Zoo is a fantastic opportunity for parents to introduce children to farm animals like donkeys, camels, ostriches, sheep, and goats.
Bird Park
Owls, Harris Hawks, Eagles, Falcons, Ducks and Parrots, there are a variety of colorful and exotic birds that occupy the Bird Park at the Emirates Park Zoo. Visitors can observe the birds and learn about their natural behavior. The Parrots, Jelly Bean, Lucky, and Lady, are the superstars of the park.
Snake Alley
Snakes strike fear in the heart of bravest of people, but a trip to Snake Alley will give an opportunity to visitors to understand snakes. Children will see and learn about a variety of snake species, handle them and learn to respect them, and at the same time appreciate their value in the ecosystem.
Flamingo Park
The pretty pink flamingos are a sight to behold! The large birds are uniquely distinguished from other bird species and can be identified thanks to their pink plumage and their thin legs which strike a pose for hours together. The Flamingo Park is the best place to observe these regal creatures.
Giraffe Park
Giraffes are the gentle giants of the Emirates Park Zoo. Visitors at the Zoo get to admire these exquisite Giraffes, pet them, feed them and even take photographs. These long-legged creatures are native to South Africa but are just at home in the Giraffe Park where they love interacting with people.
Wildlife Walk
The world’s most ferocious, strongest, fastest and most fascinating wild animals line up for visitors at the unique Wildlife Walk at the Emirates Park Zoo. The wildlife show includes a knowledge session and a feeding session for animals like Elephants, Cheetahs, Bears, Lions, Leopards, Tigers and Arabian Oryx.
Reptile House
Reptiles are one of the most misconstrued animals on Earth, but in reality, they are shy, interesting and some of the most beautiful creatures with vivid patterns. The Reptile House is the best place to meet reptiles like lizards, geckos, pythons, tortoises and water dragons.
Primate Parade
Spunky Capuchins, funny Rhesus Macaques, serious Mandrills and naughty Vervet Monkeys, the Emirates Park Zoo has a variety of primates to see. The zoo’s most adorable and active animals, these monkeys are a treat to watch, and visitors can spend hours watching them play and even get to feed and pet them.
