Riyadh Zoo
Mejor época para visitar
Visit right when gates open at 9am on weekdays to avoid crowds and the midday heat. October through March offers the most pleasant weather for outdoor strolling.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry is roughly 10-15 SAR per person, making it one of the more affordable family outings in the city. Bring your own snacks and water since on-site food options are limited and priced higher than outside.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Hogar de más de 1500 animales de todo el mundo, el zoológico se extiende sobre 161 000 metros cuadrados de terreno. Más de 40 especies de aves, reptiles y mamíferos recorren las instalaciones, incluyendo lobos árabes y el raro oryx árabe.
Destacados: El zoológico participa en un programa regional de cría para el leopardo árabe, en peligro crítico de extinción, con un recinto dedicado que imita su hábitat montañoso. Los visitantes pueden observar a los cuidadores realizar sesiones de entrenamiento con los grandes felinos a las 10 a.m., una experiencia controlada y educativa que revela sus comportamientos naturales de cerca.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat, shaded pathways are limited in certain sections of the zoo.
- Arrive by 9am on weekdays to see the animals most active during feeding times (usually 9:30-10:30am).
- The walk-through aviary near the entrance is easy to miss but offers close encounters with native birds.
- Skip the small on-site train ride, it covers the same ground you can walk in 15 minutes.
