Dubai Garden Glow closes after 10 seasons; to reopen at new location with fresh concept
Dubai Garden Glow, one of UAE's most beloved family attractions, has officially closed its doors after celebrating its 10th season.
In a recent announcement on its official X account, the park confirmed it will reopen soon at a new location, promising an 'exciting new concept' for visitors.
A similar update was posted on its website, although no exact reopening date has been provided yet.
Since opening in 2015 at Zabeel Park, Dubai Garden Glow has been a favourite among residents and tourists alike due to its dazzling illuminated sculptures, life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, and eco-themed art installations made from recycled materials. Over the years, it became the world's largest glow-in-the-dark garden, combining creativity, sustainability, and entertainment in a unique experience.
The closure comes as Zabeel Park prepares for a major transformation. As part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the emirate is preparing to welcome Therme Dubai — the Middle East's first wellbeing resort and interactive park — developed in collaboration with the Therme Group.
Approved Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan, Therme Dubai represents a significant step toward promoting sustainability, wellness, and an enhanced quality of life.
With an estimated investment of Dh2 billion, the resort is scheduled for completion by 2028. The massive 500,000-square-foot facility will soar 100 meters high and feature thermal pools, 15 waterslides, three towering waterfalls, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and the world's largest indoor botanical garden, home to more than 200 plant species.
