The Green Planet unveils brand-new ‘outdoor’ Nature Park in Dubai

The Green Planet, the region’s only indoor tropical rainforest, has opened a first-of-a-kind outdoor Nature Park.

Families can explore the park’s treehouse adventure trail and skyline walks, which feature nine viewing platforms and slides designed for ages four to 12.

Additionally, guests will encounter over 20 giant animatronic bugs – larger-than-life replicas of real species, offering a unique learning experience before discovering the biodome’s resident insect species up close.

The immersive outdoor sanctuary also features nine vibrant botanical gardens, each representing different ecosystems of the world. These range from palms to pollinators, tropical species, gardens, orchids, herbs, Mediterranean greenery, and fruit and vegetable patches.

The Green Planet Nature Park connects guests with the natural world

“The outdoor expansion of The Green Planet reinforces our commitment to further connecting guests with the wonders of the natural world and promoting sustainability and environmental awareness”, said Fernando Eiroa, CEO, Dubai Holding Entertainment.

“As the world prepares to come to Dubai for COP28 later this year, awareness of biodiversity protection has never been more important. The Green Planet is proud to work alongside our partners and stakeholders to provide experiences and programmes like the Nature Park, which bring together nature and curiosity, helping raise awareness of our natural surroundings in new, immersive and engaging ways,” he added.

Nature Park also features a dedicated soft play area for children up to six years old as well as an outdoor café.

As part of its outdoor expansion, The Green Planet is also introducing an active entertainment calendar that will observe events such as Halloween and other festive occasions.

The space will also host summer camps, school programmes and various events, including birthday parties with an eco-educational theme.

Marking the launch, guests can attend biologist talks daily from October 10 to 15 at 3pm.

Junior guests can enjoy free themed activities and seed planting sessions as well as nature and bug-themed arts and crafts workshops from October 10 to 15 from 10am to 6pm.
