Good place to spend time with kids. Has lot of fun activities with animals like riding, petting, feeding , playing. Also has Play area , barbecue area, restaurant etc . Need some maintenance and some guidance/ names for the all wonderful animals that they have . Has ample parking . Overall 5 star for entertainment provided at a nominal price.

🏆 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.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Visit in the morning when animals are most active and temperatures are manageable
Carry at least three water bottles per person — shade is sparse across the zoo grounds
🎟️The free play area suits toddlers; check the paid play zone for older children's activities
🚗Bring hand sanitiser for after animal contact — on-site facilities can be stretched on busy days

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.

Very good point for children to spend time with animals. All the animals that we’ve seen are in well maintained. One Suggestion from my side is to mention the name and some details about animals at the cage. It will help visitors to learn and understand more about animals. Overall it was a great experience, some animals I have seen first time in my lifetime. Great to visit the point.

Family-friendly (humble) zoo. Reasonable prices for tickets and any extras you may need to pay when you're inside. There's a collection of small size animals and lots of birds. There's a free kids playing area and another paid area. There's a big free parking area. Highly recommend for young kids.

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.
