Al Ain Zoo takes health and safety very seriously and expects people in charge of children to act responsibly. When visiting the zoo with your school class, please note:
Children must be supervised throughout their visit and we recommend at least one adult to supervise every 10 children.
Children must understand what standard of behaviour is expected and who is responsible for the group.
The accompanying adults must understand that they are responsible for the behaviour of the children in their charge.
