DOHA: An Animal Park featuring 15 animals, including animatronic dinosaurs, mammoth and King Kong, will open on Thursday besides the Qatar Sport Club in West Bay.
With the gigantic animals moving and creating sounds, the edutainment park is brought to Doha by CAC Events, in collaboration with AJ Entertainment company and Qatar Tourism Authority.
“The concept of the park is to entertain and educate children because every animal in the park will get a banner containing all details in Arabic and English,” said Christon Thomas, Managing Director, CAC Events.
He said the park was inspired by characters from films and created after the success of the Dinosaur Village in Muscat last year. The Dinosaur Village is in Salalah in Oman and will come to Doha soon, he added. “We brought 15 animatronic dinosaurs to Muscat which witnessed 1.2 million footfalls in 31 days,” he said.
Tickets cost QR15 for children and QR25 for adults while babies will have free entry.
There is also a kids’ arena which features entertainment and rides priced costing QR10 per ride for two to five minutes.
The park will be open daily from Thursday until April 2 from 4pm to 11pm and on Saturday from 10am to 11pm. After Doha, it will travel to Bahrain, Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon and the UAE.
