Animal park, Doha - The worst place ever

Animal park, Doha - The worst place ever

Hi there

The reason why I'm writing this post is to advice people not to go to what so called Animal Park located near QTF, Al Dafna.

I went there under the impression that I'll see something joyful for kids, bought tickets and stepped into a temporary fence which turned to be the only fence. Just by the first sight I decided to go back, literally, nothing is there... Just 300m of an open no-paved land that has 4 or 5 silly robotic animals not even moving. In a addition, if you want to use the kids playing area inside (which is actually just a ski ballon) but it's the only thing that kids can do, you have to pay to a different company operating this area!

However, I went back to the tickets kiosk asking for refund, precisely I spent less than 5 minutes.  When I was trying to convince them that the word-of-mouth is much more valuable than my tickets value. The rejected to refund and felt with impolite, improper way to the extent that made me yelling on them. I went outside and starting telling the people who were intended to go inside (Don't go, there is nothing to do inside, they are cheating). Tried to call the police when they became so rude to me, but there was no response. I went to Qatar Tourism website and dropped a complaint, because I strongly beleieve they will never give a license to such a place which is really not ready to receive visitors yet. I'm hardly calling it a (place)... Come on it's just a temporary fence surrounding a piece of land...that's it.
