📍 Al Zorah, Ajman
Is this your venue? Claim this listing →
Small interactive zoo in Ajman's Al Zorah area featuring goats, camels, donkeys, cows, dogs, and birds. Kids can feed, pet and interact directly with animals. Playground, BBQ area and on-site restaurant included.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for toddlers and children under 10 experiencing animals hands-on for the first time. The direct feeding and petting access suits young children far better than larger, walk-past zoos. Carry at least three water bottles per person - the outdoor setting heats up quickly. Morning visits are significantly cooler and animals are more active.

“I love this place. It's a best place to visit with kids and family. The zoo is good. The ticket is affordable. We went to this zoo at morning. Carry 3 water bottles so you will not be thirsty. There were so many animals and birds we saw. We saw cow, donkeys,goats,camels and dogs. They were all so friendly, we fed the goats and camels. They were so good. After that we played with small puppies. They were cute. After that we saw a Vulture. It was big. It was in a Cage. After that we saw turtles, mongoose,small monkeys,owls and chameleons. After that we saw so many varieties of parrots. It was so much fun. The parrots sit at my hands. It was such a good feeling. The parrots were friendly. I loved it. After that we ate the ice cream at the nearby shop. And we returned home. 3 to 4 hours are enough to explore the place. I highly recommend to go at this place. You are allowed to touch the birds and play with puppies.”

💬 What parents mention
Overview
UAE Pygmy Zoo prioritises direct animal contact over display-only exhibits. Children can hand-feed goats and camels, pet dogs, and interact with a range of birds and farm animals in a maintained outdoor setting. The zoo includes a free kids' play area and a separate paid play zone, plus a designated BBQ area and restaurant for longer visits. Parking is free and ample. Reviewers suggest the zoo would benefit from name labels and species information boards at each enclosure.
