Kuwait Zoo, Urban zoo in Omariya, Kuwait
Kuwait Zoo is a facility in Omariya that houses separate sections for mammals, birds, reptiles, and other animals from different regions. The grounds include visitor areas with rest spaces and open zones where families can spend time together.
The facility opened in 1968 and was severely damaged during the 1990 invasion, requiring complete reconstruction. It reopened in 1993 with a fresh collection of animals and renewed facilities.
The zoo serves as a gathering place where families come to see animals from around the world up close. It functions as an educational space where people connect with wildlife they might never encounter otherwise.
Visitors should allow plenty of time to explore all sections since the grounds are spread out and require considerable walking. Comfortable shoes and water are essential, especially during hot weather when shade and rest areas become important.
The zoo operates a specialized veterinary center that cares for both the resident animals and injured or sick wildlife brought in from the surrounding region. This makes the facility a critical resource for animal welfare beyond its borders.
