Kuwait Zoo occupies an area of 180,000 square meters, and was opened in 1968, and was home to animals from the ruler of the country.
The park was destroyed during the war, so it was rebuilt and expanded, and some rare animal species were added to it until it reached what it is today.
The Kuwait Zoo is one of the most important attractions and facilities of the vital Al-Farawaniyah area, and one of the main tourist destinations in Kuwait that suit adults and children.
The park includes four main sections, the most important of which is the animal section that is concerned with the care and housing of animals, and the cultural and life sciences center that cares for events.
The park contains about 1,600 animal species and 188 bird species, and among the most striking animals is the Sun Connor parrot.
