Children's Zoo

The Children's Zoo in Abuja is a facility that houses various animal species such as lions, zebras, camels, and ostriches in recreated natural settings. The grounds include a lake, play areas, and spaces designed for educational activities.

This facility was developed to expand Abuja's recreational and educational infrastructure during the city's growth phase. It was established near significant city landmarks to serve the community's recreational needs.

The facility serves as a learning space where visitors observe animals and develop awareness about wildlife protection. People of all ages gain understanding about natural habitats through direct interaction with different species.

The zoo operates on weekdays and offers separate entrance areas for different visitor groups. Plan to wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection, as the grounds require considerable walking and exploration throughout the property.

The facility sits at the base of Aso Rock, a towering geological formation that dominates Abuja's landscape. This uncommon location merges animal viewing with proximity to one of the city's most recognizable natural features.
