Free parking. Book online ticket to avoid long quee.ticket price was 30 aed when we visited during December 2022.once you enter have a good look at the map so you can select what are the things to watch.its so big area as you might get tired walking at the end. Watching the Penguins was Nice. worth visiting one time. It took 3 hours to walk around the zoo.

We had been to Al Ain for a day and decided to visit the Zoo. It was a whole day of good times watching every creature in the Zoo. Our daughter was happy to see Flamingos and the giraffes. A place to spend time with family.

A great way to spend a few hours in the cold of January. Lions mostly asleep. The Oryx herd a must see. Easy walks around the park. A useful visitor's centre with a fabulous library of UAE centred resources including sustainability and scientific endeavours in the UAE and other subjects plants, animals, geography, kids books etc.

1. Huge area- well maintained- very friendly staff-huge parking lot 2. The animals looked healthy. 3. Plenty of greeneries and places to rest and take small refreshments. 4. Best thing is the battery run shuttles with friendly drivers. 5. A lot of displays but expected more. 6. No elephant or bear 7. Freshly cooked fast foods are served in the cafeteria at stop 4. 8. The bird enclosure was nice but penguin enclosure is a bit dull looking. 9. Loved the amphitheater area specially the benches but there was no information about show. Doubt when is the show. 10. The museum is good. 11. Negative part is hot February afternoon. All the animals hiding/ sleeping or looking very sad except monkeys.

they have variety of animals. I was excited to see the hippopotamus and gorilla but sadly the area was under maintenance. However they still have alot of other animals such as lions,cheetah and a whole lot of oryx. The zoo was clean and well maintained. In every area they make sure they have shops or snacks bar to be able to refresh and eat food while roaming around the zoo. The experience was great.

Saddens me to write this review as I have been many times to Al ain zoo in the past and loved it. Right now most of the zoo is under construction. Depending on who you ask, they estimate by January they will finish the upgrades. Currently, even the bathrooms are under renovation, the main bathrooms right outside have stalls but no toilet bowls. Only 2 working toilets. Signage is sparse so you mostly wander around and find yourself back to where you started. Some areas are cordoned off for construction. We went yesterday, Friday and there was no Hippo, no elephant and because of the lack of clear directions or lack of any map, we missed the penguins. On the plus side, it was lovely to see the big cats, especially the white tiger and the serval. The gorrila, and other monkeys were impressive to see. One big advantage, for kids, most of the exhibits are kid friendly and toddlers can see it from their height and viewpoint. My children spent most of the time walking or in the stroller and were able to see all the animals. They are open from 9am. We did not take the safari package at aed 1,000 it was definitely not on our budget.
