“My son Abir who is two-and-a-half years old is fascinated by animals. The Dubai Zoo is smaller and may leave a lot to be desired for older people, but for my son, it was one of the most delightful experiences. We have have visited the Dubai Zoo two times in the last six months. When his grandparents visit, we love to take them too for a zoo visit. It is easy to navigate and a good experience for a small child.”

“My daughter Sophia is turning one soon and yes, I have taken her to the Dubai Zoo and will be frequently visiting the place to let her learn about wild animals. The zoo is small and compact and for a young mother, it is easy to manage with a small child. I wish the animals had larger enclosures and the zoo was less smelly. I hope one day Dubai can become bigger and more exciting as children outgrow small zoos soon.”

“My five-year old son Ishaan is absolutely obsessed with animals. In the last five years, we have visited the Dubai Zoo at least twice a year. It has easy access, parking is easy and one does not have to plan a thousand things to make a zoo outing happen. My son learns about animals and is a good learning experience.”
