I definitely recommend to visit, especially those who are vacationing with children. Lots of positive impressions and emotions. You can not take a tour, but go yourself. Everything is clear and accessible. You can definitely spend half a day there, and if you take your time and rest, then you can "hang out" for the whole day. There are a lot of animals, all in excellent condition - well-groomed, fed, lazy and lazy. There is a little lack of greenery, but it's a matter of time. Otherwise, everything is fine.
In general, I liked it, but we must understand that this is not a safari, but a zoo. There are animals in enclosures, some very large ones.Because of this, they are not always visible, there are many shows on the territory, at 12 o'clock you can feed the giraffe, but the queue for the giraffe is huge, at least when we were there. There are many cafes with fast food, playgrounds. If children love the zoo, then you can spend an interesting day
Great zoo!The animals are clean, friendly, and beautiful.Everywhere there are steam trains that carry around the territory.You can feed the giraffes, you can take a safari.
It's a good place. Everything is perfectly organized. Convenient transportation on the territory. The Safari itself is especially interesting, and it is worth going for it.
A very big and cool zoo! I advise you to take tickets from the safari. And it's better to come early. We arrived at the beginning of the second and did not have time to see everything, since the park closes at 17:00. For 10 dirhams you can feed a giraffe. We got to a bird of prey show. There are many cafes for relaxing and snacking.
A huge park. Everything is for people)) lots of animals. I especially liked the hippo😍

It's a great place. An oasis in the desert where it is interesting, entertaining and beautiful, there is something to see for both adults and children, even the youngest. No need to go to Africa for 1 hour by taxi and you are in a fairy tale. But it takes a lot of time. It took us 5 hours to have 1 village and a petting zoo. The heat is well tolerated (everything is provided) I recommend it to everyone
Of course, the animals were good, and everything was sprayed with water so that it would not be so hot. And the territory is impressive, but the whole day there it's strong
A very interesting place! Be sure to visit the territory with predatory animals.

A pleasant place, an interesting territory with the opportunity to ride a bus from the depths of enclosures with wild animals. We bought a ticket from a tour agent, it turned out to be expensive about 10 thousand for 2 tickets, but it was already impossible to purchase on the right date on the website. Therefore, buy tickets in advance on the safari park's website. We got from Sharjah by taxi on our own. It's just as easy to drive back from the park.
I recommend visiting even without children. I especially liked the safaris themselves. You're on the bus, and the animals are walking around. Nobody understands Russian inside, so be prepared. There is a show schedule at the entrance to the park. Go to everything- you won't regret it. Even the bird show at the end of the day is awesome.
A great place for the whole family, it is better to buy tickets on the spot than through an operator, accept cards and cash. You need to plan for the whole day so that you can do everything slowly. It is better to take with trams, you can also walk, but walk a lot around the stations.
Pleasant atmosphere, animals in good conditions. We will definitely come back

A very beautiful and picturesque place to visit with family or friends, just the thing!
The animals are all beautiful and all present on the spot!
I don't say anything about the park staff at all ... everything is fine and organized, it left me a warm impression that when the park closes (the park is open until 17.00) then all the employees come out to say goodbye to the guests!
Probably one of the disadvantages is that the park is sooo big and walking around and seeing everything before closing is a difficult task!
All transports in the park are paid, so prepare wallets)
Delight!
We were in March, there weren't many people. Tickets were bought on the website.
Very comfortable walking paths with fans and humidifiers so that visitors do not suffer from the heat.
The park itself is large, the navigation is convenient, the animals are very beautiful and well-groomed.
A very nice place, you can spend the whole day and there will still be something to see next time! There is also a nice restaurant "Oregano" on the territory of the Africa zone, I also recommend it!
Definitely it makes sense to visit👍
+ it is worth coming in the morning from 9 to 11 o'clock, when there are significantly fewer visitors;
+ it is better to choose the Safari journey excursion package, without it everything will be rotten and not interesting;
+ a 35-minute car ride through the blocks (animal habitat locations) is really interesting;
+ transfer transport takes you to the boarding point on the tour bus, from which you can get off at several other stops to admire the animals, and then take the next transport again;
- by the evening, the number of visitors increases closer, which means you will have to queue everywhere;
- I didn't like that they were trying to openly "earn" in the Elephant cafe (at the exit from Safari): they made ice cream, which turned out to be at a price of 50 dirhams each - you can estimate for yourself how much it will cost your family);
- there is no desire to walk around the zoo in the heat, and in the evening after the queues, it is also unlikely that something will remain out of strength;
- the hippo pool is quite modest, does not make a big impression;
- the giraffe feeding "show" takes place on schedule and consistently gathers a queue of those who want to touch the saliva from a long neck😀
A great park, in a somewhat pretentious style like everything in the UAE. Well-groomed, the territory is large, but there are few animals in my opinion. I liked the aviary with birds. Take cucumbers and seeds and there will be an opportunity to take a photo with a colorful parrot on your hands or shoulder.
The zoo is normal, but the territory is large. To see all the animals you need to move a lot. A huge disadvantage in the organization of movement. The queues for transport are huge, where it goes and, most importantly, where you need to go is unclear.
A magnificent zoo,, I advise everyone who is with children. About 4 hours lay on the inspection of everything, this is enough. There are performances, and trips to the closed part of the zoo to the animals, well, in general, everything has been done for people. And animals. Fans blow and disperse water on routes, adequate prices in cafes, awnings for shade are stretched, toilets at all stations. Everything is clean, beautiful and thoughtful.
Visited the park in November 2023. A full ticket without feeding animals is 90 dirhams, the guide at the hotel is twice as expensive. It is better to go with binoculars, as the animal sites are large, sometimes overgrown with bushes and trees. I really liked it, I recommend it to everyone, there are canopies and moisture sprayers everywhere from the heat
In general, it is interesting. The price is high. But, the animals are hot and they are hiding. Calculate the time to catch all the events - feedings, safaris, etc. It seems that there are more animals in the Moscow zoo.
The accommodation of animals is perfectly organized. Sometimes it seems that there are no fences. The animals are well-groomed, the enclosures are beautiful and adapted. I recommend you to visit
I went here in October. Everything is very green, there is a transfer between thematic sections. But it was sad that many animals were lying down, poor, they were so hot🥺 But with this factor, alas, nothing can be done. The staff is very polite. I took a safari ticket, it cost 90 dirhams, but it came out with some kind of margins ~95. I went on my own with the help of the subway and the bus.
A very beautiful place! Lots of animals! A large area! There are bus trains running, and there are taxis! I recommend visiting a safari and taking VIP tickets!!!
The territory is huge. A walk for the whole day. We traveled between locations on a steam train with trailers. We rode an armored bus to a closed area to predators. The giraffe was being fed. We were in the aviary, it's under the dome, they fly freely. The animals are well-groomed and at ease. And the staff are all friendly and ready to help.
The local zoo. There are several shows scheduled at certain hours. You can get around everywhere, by air-conditioned buses. Clean, beautiful and interesting. For families with children, you definitely need to visit. The whole family really liked it!!!
A very large area. It is necessary to go to the opening, because you will not have time to walk and watch the performances (at different times, in different zones)
We were at the end of April. An amazing zoo. Yes, it turns out not cheap, but it's worth it - no zoo can compare. We drove from the outskirts of Dubai for 80 dirhams, tickets: adult -30$, children - 20. Don't take it through a guide!!! At the box office, we would have come out $ 20 cheaper. A huge park, moving through it is carried out by steam trains or covered buses with air conditioning. All kinds of animals, the opportunity to ride a safari right next to a tiger and a lion. I recommend it, we spent 5-5,5 hours there. The food is very expensive, we regretted that we did not take it with us in a backpack. No one examined him.
We went as a family on May 22. It is a little far away, we arrived at half 10 in the morning. You need to take tickets with a shuttle, because you can't see much without it.
We started from the farthest, African village. The elephants there are small and far away ((not to feed them. There aren't that many animals. Monkeys are different, lions in the distance, flamingos are cute. Reptiles and spiders in a separate building, the monitor lizard was watching us there, he's so big)) hyenas in the distance, wild boars too.
Next was Explorer village. The biggest. There we immediately fed the giraffe, it was already 11 o'clock. Then they closed. Then we went to the behemoth, it's huge! And slept in the water. At least it's cool there. Then we got on the bus and went on safari. I really liked it, we drove for 40 minutes. All the animals are close. There are a lot of antelopes, deer, goats... No crocodiles were seen. We saw Lions and cheetahs up close. The tigers slept in threes, also close. The big rhinoceros was lying. Two ostriches. A bunch of small monkeys. The giraffe ran there. Then they came back to 12:30 to feed the giraffes. They are afraid when they are stroked.
This is the most normal of all that we saw! For the rest, you can not waste time at all.
Then we sat down and arrived at the Asian village. There the Asian bear was trampling in the distance, his female kept looking at him. Gibons were shouting loudly. And that's it! Then we went to the Arabian village, we were taken on an open Shuttle. There's a bunch of goats and antelopes again. Nothing interesting. They didn't even go to the bird show. To the children's area too.
A large themed zoo. Lots of animals. Many, however, were not seen, because they are "somewhere in their large territory." I especially liked the room with parrots - they fly freely and easily make contact. There is a playground. Eating and drinking cheap, like everywhere else in Dubai, will not work. It is a little far from the center, it took a long time to get there. But I still liked everything very much!
Excellent safari park, we were in April 22 years. We went on our own and lived at the RIU hotel (we didn't take the tour, we arrived and left by taxi) this allows you to come to the opening on a day convenient for yourself and calmly walk around the park, feed everyone you want and you can feed, take a bus ride through open aviaries with animals without waiting for landing under the scorching sun, spend as much time in the park as we need. The bonus is the absence of a crowd of tourists around, constant waiting for the lost, a more comfortable air temperature ( this is the beginning of April in the afternoon, the sun is already unbearably hot ).
We expected more! there were few animals, perhaps we were unlucky and they were hiding from the heat somewhere, there were only a lot of different horned ones: roe deer, bison, antelopes. I really liked the safari by bus itself, when you drive, and animals walk around. It is definitely worth visiting once.
The dream of seeing and stroking a giraffe came true in this park)))The main advantage is that animals live in "their own environment", and not in cages, as unfortunately in many zoos (
