The Green Planet
The decisive difference is availability: the Official site lists the “Day Pass - Adult” as available, while GetYourGuide’s “The Green Planet - Dubai's Unique Indoor Rainforest” is limited.

Planning your visit
The Green Planet Dubai, also described as the Green Planet Biodome and the Dubai indoor rainforest, recreates a tropical ecosystem at City Walk Dubai on Al Wasl Road. The Green Planet by Meraas is built around a 25-metre artificial kapok tree, with visitors moving from the flooded rainforest upward through the rainforest canopy and then down through the forest levels.
The Green Planet admission ticket provides access to zones including Creatures of the Night, where you can see a Burmese python and the bat cave, while the flooded rainforest contains aquatic habitats with red-bellied piranhas. A sloth encounter and scheduled sessions with sugar gliders are separate animal experiences, so an animal encounter pass is needed for those closer interactions. The thunderstorm experience adds simulated rain, wind and lightning inside the biodome.
For a longer behind-the-scenes visit, Zookeeper for a Day runs from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm, with an additional weekend session from 8:30 am to 10:30 am, and is recommended for visitors aged 8 and above. A guided educational tour is useful for families who want staff explanations about animal care, while skip-the-line entry should not be assumed to remove any entrance or security checks.
The Green Planet opening hours are 10:00 am to 6:00 pm daily, with online tickets sold until 3:30 pm and gate tickets until 5:00 pm. From the Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro Station, continue toward City Walk by taxi or bus; underground City Walk parking is available, with free parking subject to the venue’s current validation rules.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Online bookings are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-exchangeable, so a change of date or plans can mean losing the ticket value.
- A mobile or printed confirmation must be shown and exchanged for a ticket or voucher at the venue; having only a booking email does not complete admission.
- Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside The Green Planet, so refreshments may require a separate purchase outside the attraction.
- Infants under 2 enter free only with proof of age; if the child is found to be 2 or older at entry, the responsible adult must buy the correct ticket at the gate.
- Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over, and all visitors under 18 must have a paying adult with them.
- City Walk underground parking is available only after ticket validation, with up to 3 hours of free parking; unvalidated or longer parking may create an additional charge.
- Security and admission rules apply at the main entrance, and The Green Planet can alter hours or temporarily close areas for safety, maintenance or private events without compensation.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket at The Green Planet?
Yes. Online booking confirmations can be shown on a smart device or in print, but they must be exchanged for a ticket or voucher before entering The Green Planet. Bookings apply to the selected date.
Are The Green Planet tickets refundable or cancellable?
Official online bookings are non-refundable, non-transferable and non-exchangeable. For the GetYourGuide option, read the cancellation terms shown at checkout because they are not specified in the product details here.
Should I buy from the official site or GetYourGuide?
The official option is the clearer choice when you want the direct venue booking for “Day Pass - Adult.” GetYourGuide can be useful when the official inventory does not suit your plans, but its availability is limited and the final checkout terms should be checked carefully.
Can I bring food or drinks in my bag?
Outside food and beverages are not permitted inside The Green Planet, except for food required for medical purposes or medically indicated nutritional supplements. The venue’s entrance rules apply to other bags and belongings.
What happens if I arrive late for my ticket?
A day ticket is valid for single entry on the chosen date, but the published terms do not guarantee admission after a missed arrival time. Contact the ticket seller or venue team before travelling if you expect to arrive late.
Do children or infants need their own ticket?
Infants under 2 enter free, and proof of age may be requested. Children aged 2 to 10 use the child rate, while children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.
Is buying online worthwhile if the queue is the main concern?
Yes. The Green Planet’s accessibility guidance warns that buying at the gate can involve a long, busy queue and recommends purchasing beforehand online. Online purchase does not remove the venue’s entrance rules or any checks required at admission.
