Visiting The Green Planet is one of the best “escape-the-heat” experiences in Dubai: a fully indoor rainforest biodome where animals move around you and birds can fly overhead—right in City Walk (Al Wasl).
Below is a practical guide to plan The Green Planet Dubai properly: how to get there 🚇, what tickets cost 💳, opening hours ⏱️, and the rules that most visitors only discover at the entrance ⚠️.
What to expect inside The Green Planet 🌿📍
The experience is built like a vertical rainforest with themed zones (canopy → mid-story → forest floor), designed to feel immersive rather than “look-at-animals-from-far.” The official ticket page describes it as a tropical rainforest experience with 3,000+ plants and animals.
✅ Best for: families, animal lovers, photographers, anyone who wants an indoor nature break between city attractions.
The Green Planet opening hours ⏱️
Official hours: daily 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
Tickets & prices 💳
Ticket types can vary (resident offers, promotions), but the official Day Pass page shows clear baseline pricing for the standard “tourist offer”:
| Ticket | Age | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Day Pass Adult | 11+ | 155 |
| Day Pass Child | 2–10 | 135 |
| Infant | under 2 | Free |
✅ Money-saving tip: their ticket flow highlights that some online offers require buying before 3:30 PM for the day you want to visit.
How to get to The Green Planet 🚇🚕🚗
By Dubai Metro (simple + common) 🚇
The Green Planet is inside City Walk. City Walk’s official directions say: take the Red Line and get off at Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall. From there you can take a quick taxi ride or walk if you don’t mind a longer stroll.
By taxi / ride-hailing 🚕
Set your destination to “The Green Planet Dubai, City Walk” (fastest door-to-door option).
By car 🚗
City Walk is reachable from Sheikh Zayed Road (Exit D71 toward Jumeirah), and The Green Planet provides up to 3 hours of free parking at City Walk underground parking with ticket validation (see their rules/offer details on the site).
Park rules you should know (to avoid surprises) ⚠️
These are straight from the venue’s published policies:

- Respectful attire required (they can refuse entry for inappropriate attire).
- Don’t touch/handle/feed animals—asked explicitly for animal welfare.

Best time to visit The Green Planet ✅

✅ Mistake: Dressing too warm
Fix: Expect tropical humidity (24–27°C, ~75% humidity).
