Visitors of all ages get to enjoy and discover the Zoo’s diverse species in a fun and exciting environment, and are encouraged to interact more with animals through fun experiences.

We will also be launching ‘Asian Month’ during Eid Al Adha, where we will be focusing on Asian culture, heritage, and art. Zarafa Café has prepared a special menu that includes a wide array of Asian food.”

Guests will experience a range of entertainment activities including Bird and Parrot Shows, as well as performances that reflect Asian culture and traditions. An exciting workshop has also been planned for our young visitors, where they will get the opportunity to craft and design their own umbrellas, fans, and lanterns.

Additionally, a painter will be creating a canvas that will focus on a specific animal story, filled with fun-facts, further reflecting the importance of animal conservation programmes at the Zoo.
