Quick Answer

The Green Planet is an indoor tropical bio-dome in City Walk with over 3,000 plants and animals across four rainforest levels. Timed entry applies — book online. Allow 60–90 minutes.

The Green Planet is an indoor tropical rainforest in the heart of Dubai’s City Walk — a four-level bio-dome built around a living tree, home to more than 3,000 plants and animals including sloths, toucans, snakes and free-flying birds.

This guide covers tickets and timings, the four levels, what you will see, how long to allow and whether it is worth visiting.

What Is The Green Planet?

The Green Planet is a climate-controlled bio-dome recreating a tropical rainforest ecosystem. The whole structure is built around a large artificial tree, and the environment is kept humid and warm year-round.

It is compact, fully indoors and genuinely well designed — one of the better options during Dubai’s summer when outdoor attractions become uncomfortable.

The Four Levels

You start at the top and work down through the rainforest strata, which is both educational and a sensible way to manage the flow of visitors.

Canopy — the treetop level with free-flying birds, sloths and toucans
Midstory — reptiles, amphibians and smaller mammals among the branches
Forest floor — larger species, insects and the base of the living tree
Flooded rainforest — an aquarium level with fish and aquatic species

Keeper talks and feeding sessions run at set times through the day and are worth timing your visit around.

Tickets & Timings

The Green Planet is a ticketed attraction with timed entry, so booking online in advance is recommended and usually cheaper than at the door. Children under a certain age enter free, and combo tickets with other City Walk attractions are sometimes offered.

It generally opens daily from morning to evening, with last entry an hour or so before closing. Hours vary seasonally, so confirm before travelling. Browse bundles in our Dubai tickets and activities guide.

How Long to Allow

Most visitors spend 60 to 90 minutes inside. It is not a large attraction, and that is worth knowing before you go — it works best as part of a City Walk afternoon rather than a destination in itself.

Allow longer if you want to catch keeper talks or if you are visiting with children who will linger at each level.

Who It Suits

The Green Planet is strongest for families with children, who get close-up encounters with sloths, birds and reptiles in an air-conditioned space. It also works well for anyone looking for an indoor option during summer.

Wildlife enthusiasts expecting a large zoo may find it small. Judged as a compact, well-curated bio-dome, it is excellent.

Getting There

The Green Planet sits in City Walk, centrally located between Downtown Dubai and Jumeirah. Parking is available at City Walk, and it is a short taxi ride from Downtown or the Dubai Mall area.

City Walk itself has extensive dining and shopping, which makes combining the two straightforward. See more in our guide to things to do in Dubai.

Visitor Tips

Book online in advance — timed entry, and usually cheaper than the gate
Check keeper talk times and plan around them
Expect humidity — the dome is kept warm and tropical
Allow 60–90 minutes; it is compact
Weekday mornings are quietest
Combine with City Walk for lunch or dinner afterwards

The Bottom Line

The Green Planet is a small but well-executed attraction. Sixty to ninety minutes is realistic, so plan it as part of a wider City Walk afternoon rather than the centrepiece of your day.

It is best for families and for beating the summer heat. Book online, time your arrival around a keeper talk, and expect tropical humidity inside.
