*Brief description of area.

 Emirates Park Zoo, is a laidback and family-oriented atmosphere, the zoo is a place that inspires and encourages kids and adults alike to explore, have fun and stay connected to nature and wildlife.

It was launched in 2008 as the first private zoo in the UAE, it is now home to a colourful menagerie of wildlife and an ever growing menu of features, attractions and interactive activities.

Due to it being a family friendly establishment the necessary safety precautions have been taken. Such as the animals that bite have 2 sets of fencing with a gap big enough so children can’t touch the fences, the animals that can be fed have walls taller than the average child but with grating so they feed the animals. Etc.
