The magnificent four-story biodome is one of the most brilliantly engineered biodomes in the world, with its canopy standing at an astonishing height of 30-45 metres above the ground, forming the roof of the rainforest and offering a panoramic view across the rainforest ecosystem.
The Nature Park at the Green Planet Dubai features an array of attractions, including treehouse adventure trails, skyline walks, giant animatronic bugs, and nine vibrant botanical gardens, each representing unique corners of the world. The Green Planet Dubai was conceptualised to bring together nature and curiosity, alongside uniquely immersive guest experiences to help raise awareness of the world’s most diverse ecosystems and the role we all play in protecting them. The attraction is home to 3,000 plants and animals from across the globe. Visiting The Green Planet Dubai is a great educational experience for adults and kids alike with multiple experiences to help get the most from a visit, including school trips, tropical thunderstorms or even becoming ‘Zookeeper for a day’ with the support of experts in the field. In 2023, The Green Planet Dubai earned the Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) marking the first theme park and indoor attraction in Dubai to earn this distinction.
