The Green Planet Dubai is housed inside a striking 72.45-meter-high glass building featuring an origami-inspired design. The interior has been carefully designed to recreate the ecosystem of a tropical rainforest.
The humidity inside is maintained at approximately 70%, while temperatures generally range between 25°C and 28°C.
The attraction also offers educational programs for children and teenagers in different age groups, including 3–6, 7–11, and 12–14 years old. These programs introduce young visitors to the plants and animals found in tropical rainforests.
One of the main highlights of The Green Planet is its enormous 25-meter-high artificial tree, considered one of the largest artificial trees in the world.
The tree is covered with natural vegetation, while birds and other animals live in specially designed spaces within its trunk and branches.
The planning and selection of the vegetation for this giant tree took around 10 years. Its design had to be continuously adjusted according to the types of plants used and the daily behavior of the animals. Carefully positioning and selecting the plants and habitats required considerable time and precision.
Wooden suspension bridges have been built among the branches, allowing visitors to get a closer look at the plants, birds, and butterflies.
A beautiful waterfall, the sounds of tropical birds, and encounters with rare animal species create an immersive experience that can make visitors feel as though they are walking through the Amazon rainforest.
By going to the upper level and entering the dome-shaped section of the building, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree view of the rainforest environment.
The Green Planet also features an aquarium containing a variety of rare fish and aquatic species that naturally live in tropical waters.
A wide range of animals can be found throughout the attraction, including toucan birds, large lizards, colonies of worker ants, colorful parrots, tree frogs, and many other fascinating species.
The combination of lush tropical vegetation, exotic wildlife, waterfalls, and immersive habitats makes The Green Planet Dubai a distinctive attraction for anyone interested in nature and wildlife.
