The Green Planet Dubai
A tropical rainforest under a glass dome in the city — sloths, birds, reptiles and a giant indoor tree.
About The Green Planet Dubai
The Green Planet is a tropical rainforest inside a glass biodome at City Walk, a short drive from Downtown Dubai. The walk starts at the canopy and winds down through the levels of the forest to the flooded forest floor, all around a giant indoor tree.
Along the way you meet birds, reptiles, insects and mammals that live in rainforests around the world, including the sloths that many visitors come to see. Keepers run talks and encounters through the day.
Plan about one and a half to two hours. City Walk has plenty of cafés and restaurants for lunch afterwards.
