The limited-time family offer includes free zoo entry and kids’ meals
Planning a family day out in Abu Dhabi just got a little easier, and a lot more budget-friendly.
Emirates Park Zoo & Resort has launched a new limited-time offer called ‘Kids Go & Eat for Free’, giving families a practical excuse to spend the day surrounded by animals, interactive shows, and plenty of outdoor exploring before the Eid rush begins.
For every adult Explorer Plus ticket purchased, one child receives free zoo entry, a complimentary kid’s meal, and unlimited access to the zoo’s popular animal presentations throughout the day.
That includes experiences like the Sea Lion Presentation, Elephant Encounter, and Animal Wonders show, which tend to be some of the biggest highlights for younger visitors.
Instead of just walking around animal enclosures, families get to watch live demonstrations and interactive sessions that make the visit feel much more engaging.
And yes, there’s enough variety to keep kids entertained for hours.

The zoo is home to a wide mix of animals including lions, elephants, leopards, and other wildlife spread across indoor and outdoor areas.
With temperatures already climbing across the UAE, the partially air-conditioned facilities and shaded walkways make a noticeable difference, especially for families trying to avoid a full afternoon in direct heat.
The offer also takes a bit of pressure off the usual “what are we doing this weekend?” family planning conversation. It’s structured enough to feel like an activity day, but relaxed enough that parents don’t have to overthink it.
There is one small catch when it comes to the dining offer: the free children’s meal can only be redeemed when an adult meal is purchased at the restaurant. Still, for families already planning lunch during the visit, it works out as a pretty decent extra.

The promotion is currently available for a limited time before Eid, though organisers say it could be extended depending on demand.
So, if you’ve been meaning to plan a family outing that keeps both kids and adults happy, this might be one of the easier options currently happening in Abu Dhabi.
Kids go free with every Explorer Plus ticket purchased. The free kids’ meal can only be redeemed after purchasing an adult meal at the restaurant. The promotion is ongoing. Emirates Park Zoo & Resort, Abu Dhabi. For further information, visit emiratesparkzooandresort.com
