The zoo, known for its diverse wildlife and rare species like white tigers and peacocks, shuttered its doors during the pandemic. While many expected a post-pandemic reopening, the zoo continues its closure with no clear explanation.
A Missed Educational Opportunity
School trips to the zoo were a staple for students, offering a chance to see animals beyond textbooks. “We used to bring younger students for picnics,” said a teacher. “Seeing the animals firsthand was invaluable. Now, with the zoo closed, that experience is gone.”
Public Yearns for Reopening
Many residents miss the zoo’s offerings. “I remember my dad taking me,” said a citizen. “Closing it’s unfair to children; they learn so much.” Another citizen echoed the sentiment, recalling family visits and the zoo’s well-maintained grounds. “I truly wish it would reopen soon.”

Expats Feel the Loss
Expats, like an Indian resident of 25 years, shared the disappointment. “Fridays were for zoo strolls with my kids,” he said. “We could even hear the lion’s roar!”
Concerns for Animal Welfare
The closure raises worries about the animals’ well-being. While some residents expressed concerns about outdated facilities and visitor behavior before the closure, many hope for a reopening with improved conditions for both animals and visitors.
The public awaits answers and a timeline for the zoo’s long-awaited reopening, reported Kuwait times.
