The Jordan Zoo — Attraction in Amman

I recently visited Jordan Zoo and had a pleasant experience overall. The zoo offers a variety of animals, including lions, bears, monkeys, and several bird species, which makes it a nice spot for families with children.

So please open your eyes and call agencies to shut this place down for good and get these beautiful creatures back home to...

2 years ago, I visited Yadoudah Zoo. This year, I went to The Jordan Zoo. The place is very smelly which means they don’t take care of the animals well. I hate to see the animals surrounded by walls instead of nature looks, like trees, plants, bushes, you get it. I understand Jordan’s weather conditions is difficult for forest like but they can Atleast use decorations. The cages are a bit dirty. The animals look very tired and sick. It’s sad seeing them like this. In America 🇺🇸, Zoos look more like forests for the animals, more space, they look happy and unbothered. But it’s very protected and I talked with the owner of the animals. I...
