Emirates Park Zoo - by Muhammad Yasin on Google
Description
The Emirates Park Zoo in Abu Dhabi emirate is home to over 1,400 animals including big cats / felines, birds, reptiles, an aquarium and other savannah inhabitants. There are also animal shows and "experiences" such as dinning next to selected animals.
Access & Transport
The attraction is located in Al Bahia (12th St), about 40km from Abu Dhabi city center and 18km northeast of Yas Island, along the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway. Buses 210, 216 and 222 stop close by but do not connect directly with the city center
Instructions & Recommendations
-
Environmental & Social
No information available on environment sustainability or conservation efforts other than the use of an organic waste recycling machine (to produce organic compost)
Conclusion
The zoo isn't large or special enough to be considered a major tourist attraction for international visitors but is a good option for families residing in Abu Dhabi or Western Dubai. We would need the zoo to be much more invested in conservation efforts before we can genuinely recommend the attraction considering the ethical issue of keeping animals in captivity
Key positive
Good for families with younger children
Key negative
Enclosure ought to be larger and animals better sheltered from the sun
A little far from the city center
Suitability
Suitable for all ages. The park appears to be accessible to visitors with reduced mobility but best to check directly with their customer service ahead of time
