Dubai’s beloved family attraction, Dubai Garden Glow, is making a vibrant return — this time brighter than ever. For the first time since its debut a decade ago, the popular park will operate during the day, opening from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Previously, the glow-in-the-dark destination was an evening-only attraction that came alive after sunset. Now, visitors will have the opportunity to explore its colourful installations and creative zones under the daylight, offering a new experience for both first-timers and long-time fans.
The park, which had earlier announced its closure after completing ten successful seasons, has found a new home beside Dubai Frame at Zabeel Park Gate 3. Organisers confirmed the relocation on Instagram, revealing that the refreshed venue will reopen soon with an array of upgraded features and attractions.
Among the highlights is the enhanced Dinosaur Park, where visitors can walk among life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs that move and roar, creating a thrilling prehistoric atmosphere. This season, the zone introduces new interactive and educational exhibits, allowing guests to learn about different species through hands-on activities designed for children and adults alike.
Next to it, the newly introduced Fantasy Park promises a world of creativity and colour. Described by organisers as a “joyful escape designed for the wonder of all ages,” the area will feature massive, whimsical sculptures, interactive art pieces, and photo-worthy installations blending natural elements with imaginative design.
In a fresh twist, visitors will enjoy access to both parks under a single ticket. However, official details regarding ticket prices and the reopening date are yet to be announced.
Since its inception in 2015, Dubai Garden Glow has become a staple of the city’s winter attractions, drawing millions of residents and tourists with its dazzling illuminated displays. Built primarily from recyclable materials, the park’s glowing creations have long reflected Dubai’s commitment to sustainability and innovation in entertainment.
Its themed zones — including the Ice Park, Magic Park, and Art Park — have offered a mix of visual spectacle and environmental consciousness. Each season brought new designs and artistic interpretations, making it a must-visit destination for families, photographers, and tourists exploring Dubai’s leisure offerings.
The park’s new chapter at Zabeel Park not only enhances accessibility, thanks to its central location next to the Dubai Frame, but also positions it as a year-round attraction. By extending its operating hours into the daytime, Dubai Garden Glow is evolving from a nighttime spectacle into a comprehensive all-day adventure for visitors of all ages.
As anticipation builds, organisers promise that the new edition will blend the magic of glowing nights with the freshness of sunny days — ensuring Dubai Garden Glow continues to shine as one of the emirate’s most cherished family experiences.
More details, including ticket information and the official reopening date, are expected to be announced soon.
