Make Sure to See the DinosaursDinosaur Park is included in the basic entry ticket, and it’s one part of the attraction that’s just as fun to visit before sunset as it is after dark. Kids will love to point out the different species of dinosaurs, and there are information boards where older visitors can learn more about the impressive creatures, captured here in robotic form.

Take Photos to Your Heart’s ContentDubai Garden Glow is an Instagrammer’s dream, with dozens of extremely photogenic backdrops for your ideal holiday snaps.

Picnics are No Longer AllowedIn previous seasons, visitors were allowed to bring their own food and drink along to eat in the designated picnic areas. However, the rules have recently changed. There are food stalls inside the attraction if you’re hungry and need a snack.

Dubai Garden Glow: The Different Areas to Visit
The attraction is made up of five different areas, each with their own theme and offering a unique experience.Glow Park | Flickr: Ankur P CC BY 2.0
Glow Park
The Glow Park is the heart of the attraction, with magical light installations on a range of themes. The original season focused on the wonders of the world, while later seasons featured animals and conservation. The 2019/2020 season’s theme is ‘Back to Nature’, with an emphasis on recycled and reused materials.

Art Park
The Art Park can be found inside the Glow Park and entry is included in the basic ticket. The area’s exhibits also glow, but the exhibits have an extra emphasis on renewable materials and eco-friendly messages.

Dinosaur Park
The Dinosaur Park is a must-visit area, especially for families with kids. It features over 120 animatronic dinosaurs that move and make sounds. There are also information boards which tell you more about each species featured, including when and where it lived and how it became extinct.

Ice Park
The Ice Park is the largest ice sculpture park in the Middle East, featuring several seriously impressive feats of art. Each year, more than 5,000 tonnes of frozen water are shaped into delicate sculptures of animals and famous buildings. Visitors will be given jackets to help them handle the 17.6℉ (-8℃) temperatures inside the icy attraction. Tickets to the Ice Park cost an additional AED 40 and can be bought when you arrive at Dubai Garden Glow.
Magic Park
The Magic Park is new in 2019/2020 and is an attraction full of optical illusions and interactive artwork. Dance on the ceiling, detach your head from your body, or ride a lion through the jungle - and make sure to get a picture of each fantastical situation! The Magic Park is included in the basic ticket for Dubai Garden Glow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a basic ticket to Dubai Garden Glow include?
The basic ticket to Dubai Garden Glow includes all of the parks except the Ice Park. The Ice Park costs an extra AED 40 and tickets can only be bought once you arrive at the attraction. Read more.
I’ve been before, should I go again?
Yes! Every season, Dubai Garden Glow gets a facelift, with new light displays in the Glow Park, new installations in the Art Park, and (of course) new sculptures in the Ice Park. Even if you’ve been before, it’s worth a visit each season to discover what’s changed. In 2020, Dubai Garden Glow is also debuting the Magic Park, a series of interactive optical illusions which visitors of all ages will enjoy experiencing. Read more.
Do I need a guided tour?
No. Even though the parks are large and sprawling, it’s relatively easy to find your own way around and, as long as you pick up a map, you don’t need a tour guide to show you the way. All of the exhibits and artwork are intuitive and easy to understand. Read more.
Will my children enjoy a visit to Dubai Garden Glow?
Absolutely! Kids of all ages will love exploring the brightly colored light displays and spotting all the different animals on display in the Art, Glow, and Ice Parks. They’ll also be entranced by the optical illusions in the Magic Park. Parents with very small children might want to arrive earlier in the day since the park is open late and your little ones might fall asleep if you arrive after dark. The Dinosaur Park is also more fun to explore during daylight hours. The paths inside the park are well-made, so you’ll have no problem exploring with a stroller. Read more.
How much time should I plan to spend at Dubai Garden Glow?
You can see each area of the attraction in about an hour, so it’s recommended to spend around four to five hours exploring in depth. Of course, you might not want to see everything, so you can easily cut that time shorter by picking and choosing your route wisely and skipping one or two of the parks. Read more.
