Best Time to Visit
Evenings during the cooler season — typically October to April — when installations are lit and temperatures are comfortable. Aim to arrive around sunset to see daylight transition into full illumination. Weekdays usually have lighter crowds than weekends.
Weather Conditions
Dubai has hot summers and mild winters. The park is most enjoyable in winter evenings. The Ice Park is maintained at sub-zero temperatures regardless of outside conditions, so bring warm layers if you plan to enter it.
Entry Fees & Permits
Tickets required. Prices and opening hours vary by season and special packages (family/combo tickets are common). Typical operating hours are late afternoon to late evening (for example, roughly 4:00 PM–11:00 PM during the season), and adult ticket prices commonly fall in a mid-range band depending on inclusions. Always check the official Dubai Garden Glow website or authorized seller for current ticket prices, timed-entry slots, and any combo offers.
Accessibility
Located in/near Zabeel Park and accessible by taxi or public transport. Nearest metro stations include Al Jafiliya and World Trade Centre (Red Line) with a short taxi/bus or walk connection to Zabeel Park. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is the closest major airport (~15–25 minutes by car depending on traffic). The venue generally provides paved paths and is largely stroller/wheelchair friendly, though specific exhibits (e.g., animatronic zones) may have varying ground surfaces—contact the venue for detailed accessibility support.
