It offers a unique opportunity for little explorers to get acquainted with wildlife in the most immersive, interactive, and fun way. This playground will help children learn more about animals and explore how wild animals live, adapt, and thrive in the wild. Of course, everything through interactive and educational play.

Curiosity Cove is divided into four interactive play zones. Each zone has its theme, exciting activities, and breathtaking explorations. We invite you to take a virtual tour of these zones.

Curiosity Cove Zones

Wetlands

The first area to explore on your adventure is the kingdom of Wetlands. See the wonders of underwater life. Explore the magnificent Reef Retreat with its incredible inhabitants and secrets. Interact with colourful coral. Follow the water stream that will lead you to the next zone.

Forestlands

Forests boast a vibrant life with their own citizens, rules, and regulations. Explore the bustling life of forests from the ground to the very treetop. See how animals share this space and coexist with each other. See, hear, and feel. Enjoy an incredible orchestra by Mother Nature. Act like a spider and climb the giant spiderweb. Take a closer look at tiny creatures.

Grasslands

Step into the Grasslands, endless expanses with towering grasses and diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, and giraffes. But not all inhabitants of this area can be seen from afar. See what is hiding in the grass. Watch the spectacular Animal Parade. Have a rest with other animals by the Watering Hole.

Drylands

Explore one of the toughest environments to survive in. Find out how clever creatures have adapted to life in sand dunes. Visit Underground Galleries, secret homes of desert animals. Conquer the rock, water the olive tree, and even explore the belly of the giant snake.
