Al Khor Park

Al Khor Park, one of the oldest in the country, has recently opened after having been closed for the last six years while undergoing a QR250 million renovation ($68 million). The new park has an aviary, well-manicured green spaces, a waterfall, water fountains, a miniature golf course, a battery-operated train that can hold 36 people, and a small zoo with oryx, emu, zebras and exotic birds, among others. There is also a large children’s play area, a basketball court, amphitheater, skating area, 26 restrooms, and a couple of cafeterias. The park is open daily—except Friday mornings--from 8am to 10pm daily. The entry is QR5 ($1.4). This 240,000-square meter park now houses an aviary, a waterfall, a miniature golf course and a train. Apart from these, cafeterias, water fountains, restaurants and a mosque are the facilities available. A children’s play area and other exciting structures add to this fun experience. The park also gives the incredible opportunity of getting up close with animals and birds. This is one of the main attractions of the park.
