About The Zoo Wildlife Park
The Zoo Wildlife Park is a relaxed, family focused park in the Kabir area of Umm Al Quwain. Instead of rides and stage shows, the day is all about getting close to animals, especially the giraffes, which lean over the fence to take grass straight from your hand.
You will find animals from around the world, from gentle giraffes to big cats, along with wide lawns and a large elephant statue that children love for photos. It is a calm, budget friendly alternative to the big theme parks in Dubai and a great stop on a day trip to the northern emirates.

Things to do at the park
Feed the giraffes
Giraffe feeding is the highlight for most visitors. Buy a handful of grass at the park, hold it out at the enclosure fence and wait for a long neck to lean down. Young children should always feed with an adult beside them.
Meet wildlife from around the world
Walk through the park at your own pace and see animals from different parts of the world, including big cats such as tigers. Take your time, as some of the best moments come when an animal wanders over to the fence.
Enjoy family time on the lawns
The open lawns give children space to run and play between enclosures, and the elephant statue is a favourite photo spot for families.
Visit the Giraffe Café and shops
Stop at the Giraffe Café inside the park for a drink and a snack, then browse the Flamingo Shop and Emu Shop for souvenirs.
Animal feeding rules
Feeding the animals is one of the best parts of the day. Follow these simple rules to keep everyone safe:
- Only use the grass sold at the park and never give the animals any other food.
- Young children should feed the animals with an adult beside them.
- Wash your hands after feeding and before you eat.
- Follow the signs and the instructions of park staff at every enclosure.
