Once you step inside FoodSphere, you'll be greeted by staff who will help guide you through three distinct zones. First up is The Apiary, where you'll find out all about the secret world of bees.

The FoodSphere will also feature cultural and educational programs, a running track, cafes, plenty of food and beverage concepts, a hall for events, and a co-working space. Access to FoodSphere is free. However, to access the Biosphere, you'll have to purchase a pass that costs SAR 75 for adults and SAR 35 for children aged two to 16.
