The Middle East’s only indoor tropical rainforest, The Green Planet, has opened a first-of-a-kind outdoor nature park.
Families can explore the park's treehouse adventure trail and skyline walks, which feature nine viewing platforms and slides designed for ages four to 12.
Guests will encounter over 20 giant animatronic bugs – larger-than-life replicas of real species, offering an enriching learning experience before discovering the biodome’s resident insect species up close.
The immersive outdoor sanctuary also features nine vibrant botanical gardens, each representing unique corners of the world.
From lush palms to essential pollinators, leafy tropical species, serene zen gardens, elegant orchids, fragrant herbs, rich Mediterranean greenery, bountiful fruits and flourishing vegetable patches, the shaded park offers a captivating array of nature’s wonders.
It also features a dedicated soft play area for children up to six years old as well as an outdoor café.
"The outdoor expansion of The Green Planet reinforces our commitment to further connecting guests with the wonders of the natural world and promoting sustainability and environmental awareness," said Fernando Eiroa, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Holding Entertainment.
"As the world prepares to come to Dubai for COP28 later this year, awareness of biodiversity protection has never been more important," he added.
As part of its outdoor expansion, The Green Planet is also introducing an active entertainment calendar that will celebrate major events. Additionally, the space will serve as an enriching environment for summer camps, school programmes and various events, including birthday parties with an eco-educational theme.
A Nature Park day pass is priced at AED 69 per person with single entry access for 1 child (3 years plus) with 1 adult, while the annual pass, which costs AED 249 per person, provides year-round access and a variety of additional benefits.
A standard Green Planet day pass, which includes access to both the indoor rainforest and the Nature Park, starts at AED 175 per person.
