The Green Planet is an enchanting indoor rainforest in Dubai. A treat for nature lovers, this rainforest houses impressive and diverse 3,000 species of exotic flora and fauna. An immersive tropical forest, it functions as a real ecosystem in a vertical glass bio-dome designed like a folded sheet of origami and is segregated into four levels of the forest – The Canopy; The Mid Story; The Forest Floor and the Flooded Rainforest. At the very center of this mesmerizing forest is an artificial 82-foot-tall tree, creating a thriving environment for the wildlife with an indoor waterfall connected to it.
Your adventure begins as you step inside the expansive glass biodome. You will be greeted by the stunning sight of the 25-meter-high artificial Kapok tree, a replica of those found in the Amazon rainforest. It is the largest artificial tree in the world and serves as the heart of Green Planet’s ecosystem. Start your journey by exploring the four levels of the biodome: the Flooded Rainforest, Forest Floor, Midstory, and Canopy. Each level offers unique plants and animals, giving you an immersive rainforest experience. As you walk through, you will encounter creatures like the toco toucan, nocturnal porcupines, and various reptiles.
Get up close with some of Green Planet’s resident animals through fun and interactive encounters. Visit the Bat Cave, Australian Walkabout, and participate in the Sloth Encounter or Sugar Glider Encounter. If you are feeling brave, do not miss the chance to hold a real python during the Reptile Encounter. For the more adventurous, walk along the thrilling rope suspension bridge. This bridge leads you to a charming treehouse and gives you an amazing view of the massive Kapok tree.
As you continue your exploration, take a moment to relax by the waterfall cascading down from the giant tree. The cool mist and lush greenery provide a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The sound of birds and flowing water creates a tranquil rainforest atmosphere. Before you leave, stop by the gift shop where you can take home a souvenir to remember your visit. From eco-friendly products to animal-themed gifts, it is the perfect way to end your unforgettable day at Green Planet.
