Step into Dubai’s Green Planet and find a humid, layered tropical world in the middle of the city. This compact bio-dome offers four levels of rainforest exploration, wildlife encounters, and family-friendly learning in 60–120 minutes.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from Dubai’s glass and concrete into a humid pocket of green: low light, thick air, and leaves that brush the shoulder like an invitation. The Green Planet’s four-story bio-dome compresses an entire tropical forest into a single building, and the path curves up from the flooded rainforest to the forest floor, the midstory, and finally the canopy where toucans and sloths move in slow, deliberate arcs.

History
The Green Planet was created as the region’s first indoor bio-dome to bring tropical biodiversity and environmental education to Dubai’s urban core.
Conservation
The attraction emphasizes captive-care standards and public education about habitat preservation; visitors should follow rules to minimize stress on animals and avoid bringing outside food into exhibits.

Book with pickup windows in mind
Confirm your hotel pickup zone (Sheikh Zayed Road, Jumeirah, Al Barsha, Marina, Deira, Bur Dubai) since times vary by location.
Go early or late
Visit near opening or late afternoon to avoid school groups and peak family hours for calmer animal encounters.
Stroller and accessibility
The ground levels are stroller-accessible but expect stairs to reach some canopy viewpoints; ask staff for elevator options if needed.
Follow keeper instructions
During sloth, sugar glider, or reptile encounters, only handle animals under staff supervision to protect both you and the species.
Light, breathable clothing
The dome is humid; wear fabrics that dry quickly and stay comfortable indoors.
