The Baghdad Zoo, set within the grounds of Al-Zawra Park, is one of the largest zoological gardens in the Middle East and a longstanding family destination in the Iraqi capital. Once badly depleted, it was rebuilt and restocked over subsequent years and now houses a range of mammals, birds, and reptiles across its enclosures. Paths wind between animal habitats, picnic lawns, and the wider park attractions. Visitors can spend a relaxed day among the collection and the crowds of families who fill the grounds on weekends.
