Fez — The Rabat National Zoological Garden has launched the “Zoo de Rabat” mobile application, introducing a more interactive way for visitors to explore one of Morocco’s leading wildlife and conservation spaces.

Available on Android and iOS, the app is designed as a digital companion for families, students, tourists, and wildlife enthusiasts preparing a visit to the park. 

The App Store lists the application as developed by the Rabat National Zoological Garden, while Google Play presents it as a guide for exploring the zoo’s 27 hectares and discovering Moroccan and African animal species.

A digital guide for the zoo

The app gives visitors access to an interactive map, helping them move more easily through the zoo and organize their route before and during their visit. It also offers information on animals, allowing users to learn about species as they move between the park’s different spaces.

The platform includes real-time updates on events, feeding times, and special attractions, turning the visit into a more informed and flexible experience.

This digital shift responds to the changing habits of visitors who increasingly expect cultural, educational, and leisure spaces to offer practical tools on their phones. For the zoo, the app is not only about convenience. It also supports its wider mission of environmental awareness and biodiversity education.

Tickets, maps, and easier access

The launch also strengthens the zoo’s online visitor services. The park already offers digital ticketing through its official ticketing platform, while its website provides practical information on opening hours, restaurants, picnic areas, stroller rentals, wheelchair access, and parking.

By combining maps, animal information, event notifications, and ticketing, the “Zoo de Rabat” app aims to reduce friction at the entrance and make visits smoother inside the park.

The timing also fits with the zoo’s broader activity in 2026. The institution announced births across around 50 species during the first quarter of the year, including conservation-sensitive animals such as the dorcas gazelle, Barbary sheep, and griffon vulture.

Conservation meets innovation

Rabat’s zoo houses more than 2,000 animals representing nearly 170 species, making it one of Morocco’s key public spaces for wildlife discovery, environmental education, and conservation messaging.

The app gives that mission a new channel. Instead of limiting animal information to signs and guided visits, the digital platform allows visitors to carry the educational experience in their hands.
