Gaza Zoo

The Gaza Zoo was a leisure complex located in Gaza City, Palestine. It functioned as a combined facility featuring a zoo, botanical gardens, and an amusement park for children. Visitors typically went there for family recreation and to see the animal collections housed on the site, which was developed from a former landfill.

Getting There

The complex is located within the urban area of Gaza City. From the city centre, it is accessible via local transport or taxi. The travel time is generally short, typically taking between 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Visit Duration

Depending on whether you visit only the animal enclosures or spend time in the gardens and amusement park, allow approximately 2 to 4 hours to walk through the entire site.

When to Visit

The site is best visited during the cooler months to avoid the intense summer heat. Like most family-oriented leisure spots, it tends to get more crowded during weekends and public holidays.
