It was almost 9 pm, my kids' bedtime, and I remembered the fantastic lion king movie when they asked me to think of a story to tell.
I began telling the story and instead of sleeping, they started to ask me some questions like: Do lions talk to animals with a language they can understand? Why do lions eat meat? Are lions stronger than elephants?
Seeing how interested they were in learning more about animals, and to help answer these questions, I decided to take them on a visit to the zoo.
We took the 5th ring road heading into the Al-Omariya zone in Al-Farwaniya. After getting the tickets and the park map, we started our tour of the park. I always read the information card in front of each cage that displays information about the animal and its species, to help answer their questions.
We spent an amazing day at the zoo; they were so happy to see many different types of animals. They were also happy to learn about the animals' way of life, their behaviors, how they feed and protect their babies, the environments in which they live, and many other interesting facts.
The park contains 4 sections:
1 – Animal section.
2 - Cultural center and the life sciences section.
3 - Services and maintenance section.
4 - Veterinary clinic section.
The park is located in Al-Omeriya off the 5th Ring Road in Farwaniya district.
The zoo opens daily from 8 am until 12 pm and from 4 pm until 8 pm and is closed on Sundays.
