Soft twilight over palm trees, children laughing beside gentle animals, and families gathering for iftar under open skies. That is the scene unfolding this Ramadan as Emirates Park Zoo and Resort introduces Ramadan Nights at the Zoo, a thoughtfully curated experience that blends learning, culture, and family time in one immersive setting.
Rooted in the values of compassion and balance highlighted in the Holy Quran, the programme invites families to slow down and reconnect. At its heart is a Quran-inspired Animals Workshop designed especially for young visitors. Through storytelling, hands-on activities, and age-appropriate art sessions, children learn about animals mentioned in the Quran while nurturing creativity and curiosity. It is education wrapped in play, and it feels refreshingly meaningful.
Beyond the workshop, the evenings unfold with a variety of kid-friendly activities. Little explorers can enjoy animal rides, an energetic arts and crafts corner, and interactive encounters across the zoo. The petting zoo and guided feeding sessions offer close-up moments with friendly animals, always supervised by trained professionals, making every experience safe, engaging, and unforgettable.
As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts into something truly special. Families are welcomed into an Emirati heritage experience with a Bedouin cultural show featuring traditional music, storytelling, and live performances that celebrate the spirit of Ramadan. From there, guests gather for a peaceful iftar surrounded by nature and wildlife, sharing delicious dishes in a warm, family-first environment that feels far removed from the usual city routine.
What makes Ramadan Nights at the Zoo stand out is how seamlessly it brings together faith, culture, education, and entertainment. It speaks directly to families looking for experiences that go beyond dining, offering moments of learning for children and reflection for adults, all while creating shared memories.
The Ramadan Iftar Package is priced at AED 195 per person and includes zoo access, children’s activities, cultural entertainment, and the iftar experience itself. It is designed as a complete evening out, perfect for parents who want their kids to learn something new while everyone enjoys quality time together.
In a season centered on connection and gratitude, Ramadan Nights at the Zoo offers a refreshing way to celebrate. It turns a simple iftar into a full family experience, where animals, heritage, and togetherness meet under the Abu Dhabi sky!
