The Green Planet Indoor Rainforest Tickets City Walk Dubai

The Green Planet bio-dome at City Walk

The Green Planet is a bio-dome that recreates a tropical rainforest in the middle of Dubai. It sits at City Walk, a lifestyle district near Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah, which makes it easy to combine with shopping, dining or a day out. Your entry ticket covers the whole self-guided visit, and you can move at your own pace.

Inside, the temperature and humidity are controlled, so it feels like a real jungle whatever the weather outside. Most visitors spend about two hours here, and you can stay longer if you enjoy reading the information boards and waiting for the animals to appear.

The animals and plants

The forest hosts thousands of plants and animals. Look for sloths dozing in the branches, colourful birds flying through the trees, reptiles and amphibians in their habitats, and fish in the pools. The plants include tall trees, ferns, orchids and vines, arranged to represent the different layers of a rainforest.

There are talks and feeding events on some days, which are a highlight for children. The animals are cared for in naturalistic enclosures, and the signage explains where each species comes from and why rainforest conservation matters. Look up as well as ahead, since many residents live high in the trees and are easiest to spot from the upper levels.

Climbing through the canopy

The route winds upward through the levels of the forest, so you experience the rainforest from the floor to the canopy. As you rise, the light and sound change, and you see the tree from different angles. At the top you can look down over the forest you have just walked through.

The path is designed for families, with ramps and lifts for wheelchairs and strollers. If you are checking whether The Green Planet Dubai is worth visiting, the combination of animals, shade and easy access makes it a strong choice, especially in the hot months.

Getting there, best time and practical tips

The Green Planet is at City Walk. Taxi and ride-hailing drivers know the address, and metro riders can go to a nearby station and take a short taxi.

The best time to visit is weekday mornings, when there are fewer visitors and the animals are often more active. Weekends and school holidays are busier. Choose a date and time in the booking panel; opening hours can change by season.
