1 / 3Ras Al Khaimah Zoo
📍 الفحلين, Ras Al Khaimah
UAE's largest private zoo in Ras Al Khaimah with rescued exotic animals including big cats, chimpanzees, and crocodiles. Children under 3 enter free. Close-up animal encounters and photo sessions available at additional cost.
The place is nice at winter and we spent good time there. We went at morning so the showing time was after noon . It was sad that we missed 😢 The tickets is 40 for one person, you can take pictures and touch animals by paying inside for each .
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A rewarding zoo visit for families with children who are engaged by large exotic animals, particularly big cats. The variety of species impresses most visitors. Budget for optional close-up photo experiences if your children want hands-on encounters — these carry a separate per-animal cost on top of entry.

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I had a wonderful visit to this place — it’s very beautiful and perfect for families and children. The variety of animals is impressive and makes the experience really enjoyable for all ages. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and the prices are quite reasonable. I visited at night and was able to see all the animals because the lighting throughout the park was excellent. I highly recommend visiting this place with your family!”

“Its a great place to hang out with kids but you would often feel a lot of the animals here are repetitive.. more of white tigers around but it's a good place to educate kids.. ofcourse the entry per person is AED 40 (under 3 yo free) and close up pic with lion/tiger is 100 aed and pic with Chimpanzee is 50 aed.. it was cold during the month of Jan in 2026 so please make sure to carry proper jackets..”
