I recently had the opportunity to visit Dubai Garden Glow, a place that’s been on my bucket list since it opened its ninth season on September 13, 2023. Touted as the world’s largest glow-in-the-dark garden, it’s a magical realm where millions of lights create a surreal landscape. The moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a night of wonder and amazement.

The Glow Park: A Luminous Adventure

The first area I explored was Glow Park. Here, handcrafted light installations shaped like animals and flowers lit up the night sky. Walking through the glowing tunnels felt like stepping into a different world. The energy-saving bulbs not only lit up the area beautifully but also emphasized the park’s commitment to sustainability.

In the same area, I found the Art Park. This section was a creative haven where artworks, all made from recycled materials, were on display. It was inspiring to see how everyday items were transformed into stunning pieces of art.

Dinosaur Park: A Journey Through Time

Next, I wandered into the Dinosaur Park. I felt like I’d traveled back in time as I walked among the 120 life-sized, animatronic dinosaurs. The park covered the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, making it an educational journey as much as it was entertaining. It was incredible to see children and adults alike marveling at these prehistoric giants.

In the same area, the interactive displays offered fascinating insights into the lives of dinosaurs. It was a blend of learning and fun, and I found myself captivated by the details of these ancient creatures.

Magic Park: A Realm of Illusions

The Magic Park was a world of its own. Filled with optical illusions and 3D artworks, it required a separate ticket, but it was totally worth it. Each exhibit was a mind-bending experience, playing tricks on my eyes and challenging my perceptions of reality.

I spent quite some time here, taking photos and interacting with the artworks. It was a playful and engaging experience, unlike anything I had seen before.

Ticket Prices and My Experience

The ticket pricing was reasonable – Dh70 for the Garden Glow and Dinosaur Park, and an additional Dh45 for the Magic Park. I appreciated that children under three could enter for free, making it a family-friendly destination.

Purchasing tickets was hassle-free as I did it online before my visit. This saved me time and let me plan my evening better.

Timings and Accessibility

The park’s timings were convenient, open until 11 pm on weekdays and an hour longer on Saturdays and public holidays. Located in Zabeel Park, getting there was easy. I chose to drive and found ample parking available. However, I noticed that public transport options were also readily available for visitors.

Conclusion: A Must-Visit Attraction

Visiting Dubai Garden Glow was an unforgettable experience. It’s a unique blend of art, nature, and history, offering something for everyone. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this luminous wonderland is a must-visit. It’s not just a place to see; it’s an experience to be lived and cherished.
