What Is The Green Planet Dubai?
Opened in 2016 and operated by Meraas (now Dubai Holding Entertainment), The Green Planet is Dubai's premier indoor rainforest experience — the only one of its kind in the Middle East. Built inside a glass dome at City Walk, it recreates a self-sustaining tropical ecosystem with natural humidity, filtered light, and a living habitat for thousands of plants and animals.
At its centre stands the world's largest man-made tree — a 25-metre structure that branches into canopy walkways, rope bridges, and observation decks across all four levels. Unlike a traditional zoo, visitors move inside the ecosystem: birds fly freely overhead, sloths hang within arm's reach, and keeper talks happen right among the animals. It holds a 4.4 rating on Google and 4.3 on TripAdvisor from thousands of visitor reviews.

Green Planet Dubai Ticket Prices 2026
These are the official day-pass prices, confirmed directly against the Green Planet Dubai booking system on 24 July 2026. If you're travelling from outside the UAE, you'll also need to sort your Dubai visa before booking.

Seeing "AED 75" somewhere? That figure doesn't match current official pricing — it may be an outdated listing or a third-party site that hasn't updated its price feed. The confirmed 2026 adult day pass is AED 175, verified directly against the official booking page.
Offers, Kids Go Free & Discounts
Kids Go Free — Currently Active
The Green Planet's own site is running a Kids Go Free promotion right now: for every paying adult ticket bought online, one child aged 10 or under enters free. A few things worth knowing before you book:
- You must manually add both the adult ticket and the free child ticket to your cart before checkout — the child ticket does not get added automatically.
- It applies to general admission tickets only, and can't be combined with the resident or Fazaa discount.
- For a same-day visit, book before 4:00 PM to use the offer that day.
- Tickets under this offer are non-refundable and non-revalidatable.
There's no separate promo code to enter — the discount is applied automatically in the cart once both tickets are added.
UAE Resident Discount
UAE residents with a valid Emirates ID can access resident pricing; bring your ID for validation at the gate or when booking the resident-rate ticket online.
Combo & Multi-Attraction Passes
Several booking platforms bundle Green Planet with other Dubai attractions such as the Dubai Frame, Burj Khalifa (At the Top), or Dubai Aquarium — worth comparing if you're visiting more than one attraction on the same trip.
Group Bookings
School groups, corporate teams, and larger families can contact The Green Planet directly for group rates and birthday party packages.
Green Planet Dubai Timings & Best Time to Visit
The Green Planet is open every day, 10 AM to 6 PM, with no difference between weekdays and weekends — this is stated directly on the official park information page. Hours can shift around major public holidays, so it's worth a quick check only if your visit lands on one.
- Weekday mornings (10–11 AM): quietest window, best for photos and toddlers.
- Tuesday–Wednesday afternoons: lower footfall, better animal viewing.
- Avoid Friday/Saturday afternoons in peak season (Nov–March) without pre-booking.
- Summer (Jun–Sep): the dome stays a cool 24–27°C and tourist numbers are lower — a good indoor escape from Dubai's heat.
Green Planet Dubai Animals & The Four Rainforest Levels
Level 1: The Canopy
Free-flying blue-and-gold macaws, toucans, and parrots — including Goldie, the resident macaw — circle the dome here, alongside butterflies and tropical insects.
Level 2: The Midstory
Home to Lemon the two-toed sloth, cotton-top tamarins, Kendrick the ring-tailed lemur, tree porcupines, and iguanas — the most-photographed level.
Level 3: The Forest Floor
Anacondas, Burmese pythons, flying foxes, armadillos, Avo the Giant Anteater, sugar gliders, and a nocturnal bat cave walkthrough.
Level 4: The Flooded Rainforest
Aquatic life including piranhas, freshwater rays, and tropical fish in illuminated tanks, plus amphibian and insect exhibits.
Green Planet Dubai Animal Encounters & Prices
Encounters are booked in addition to day-pass admission and should be reserved ahead of time — sessions are capped and fill up.
| Encounter | Price (excl. day pass) | Session Time |
|---|---|---|
| Sloth Encounter | From AED 290/person | Daily, 1:00 PM — limited capacity |
| Bird Encounter | From AED 290/person | Check availability when booking |
| Reptile Encounter | From AED 290/person | Check availability when booking |
| Porcupine Encounter | From AED 290/person | Check availability when booking |
| Armadillo / Anteater / Sugar Glider / Echidna | Rotating seasonal experiences — no fixed public rate | Check the specific encounter page |
| Camping in the Rainforest | Pre-book required | Friday & Saturday only |
| Zookeeper for a Day | Pre-book required | Seasonal programme |
The Sloth Encounter is the one visitors ask about most — it's a guided, close-up session with the resident two-toed sloths, run once daily with a capped group size.
Is The Green Planet Dubai Worth It?
For most visitors, yes. At AED 175 for adults, it sits in the mid-price range for Dubai attractions, and the combination of free-roaming animals, four distinct biodome levels, and a genuinely immersive tropical atmosphere is hard to replicate elsewhere in the Gulf.
It's especially strong value for families right now: infants enter free, the active Kids Go Free promotion makes one child's admission free per paying adult, and the climate-controlled 24–27°C environment is a welcome break during Dubai's summer. The 2–3 hour visit fits neatly into a half-day itinerary.
If you want the most from your visit, pre-book the Sloth Encounter (from AED 290) — it's consistently the highlight visitors mention. The main downside: busy Friday/Saturday afternoons in peak season (Nov–March) without pre-booking can mean real waiting.
Family Guide: Kids, Accessibility & Essential Tips
