A relaxed day and a happy kid later

The Riyadh Zoo was a real treat the other day when we relaxed there and came back feeling happy and satisfied that we had one really ecstatic and contended kid on hand. Of course, as an adult, I was happy I had included a few animal names to the kid's vocab.

The Riyad Zoo's conception and maintenance are indeed commendable. A large area with adequate parking, places to sit, an impressionable range of animals and birds to view. Some cages could be bigger and better is also a feeling that crept up through the day, but the effort and maintenance, except for the ignorance and throwing of plastics in the zoo by the less-informed visitors, is really good.

The zoo is best visited in winter months as viewing the entire area can take up to 2-3 hours to just identify and see the whole compound and is a simple way to introduce animals and birds to children.

Planning the visit becomes easy with the website, except for any unexpected, local functions/ occasions. http://www.zoo.com.sa/riyadhzoo/map/




A very impressive collection! A good, cool afternoon well spent: ideally 12 noon- Magrib. And we walk away contented with a thrilled child!

Savour, Enjoy!
