Riyadh Zoo is Now Open, Offering Free Entry

Riyadh's beloved zoo is making a grand return this Riyadh Season, and it's an animal lover's dream come true. With six captivating subzones, this year's Riyadh Zoo offers a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with over 1,300 animals from 190 species. From playful monkeys to majestic lions and rare red pandas making their Middle East debut, this zoo is a must-visit year-round attraction.

Located in Al Malaz, the Riyadh Zoo welcomes visitors from 9 am to 5 pm daily, and the best part is that entry is completely free. However, to explore this animal kingdom, you'll need to reserve a ticket. Don't miss the chance to interact with kangaroos at The Farm, observe owls at The Owl House, and learn about different species of apes at the House of Pongos.

The Enchanted Forest subzone is home to bears, gazelles, llamas, and the enchanting red panda. For an immersive nature experience, visit the lakeside area to watch birds and admire various animals. There's even a swamp subzone where you can encounter crocodiles and majestic white tigers – some of them you can even feed. And if you're ready for a wild adventure, board on safari to catch a glimpse of the mighty lion.

But the fun doesn't stop at Riyadh Zoo. You can also explore the Wonder Garden, where colorful butterflies take center stage. Riyadh Season has just become a haven for animal enthusiasts, and it's time to plan your visit to this exciting zoo!
