When does Dubai Miracle Garden open for the 2026-27 season?

Season 15 opened on 8 October 2026 and runs until 31 May 2027. The garden closes over the summer for maintenance and replanting, so it is only open in the cooler months.

What are Dubai Miracle Garden's timings?

9am to 9pm daily during the season, with last entry 30 minutes before closing. Hours may change on public holidays, so check the website on the day. In October and November, early-morning events such as the Halloween and Diwali festivals start before 9am and need a separate event ticket.

How much are Dubai Miracle Garden tickets for children?

Children under three go in free. Children aged 3 to 12 pay the child rate, which is AED 80 before VAT on the official booking page (AED 84 with VAT, as reported on opening day); 13 and over pay the adult rate of AED 100 before VAT (AED 105 with VAT). UAE residents who book as a resident and verify with UAE PASS pay AED 50 per child and AED 70 per adult before VAT. Tickets are sent to your WhatsApp as a QR code and are valid on any day until the end of the season.

What is there for children to do, and can I take a pushchair?

The garden's own list for families is Smurfs Village, the Disney-themed floral displays, the trampoline area and the photo spots, with 2 to 3 hours suggested for a relaxed visit. Yes to pushchairs: the garden describes itself as wheelchair and stroller friendly, with paved paths through most areas and stairs only at some elevated viewpoints.

Can we bring our own food and drink?

No. Outside food and beverages are not permitted and barbecuing is banned. There are kiosks, cafes and restaurants inside the garden; the Butterfly Garden next door lists snacks such as popcorn, gelato and fresh juice.

Is there a combo ticket with the Butterfly Garden?

Yes. A Miracle Garden plus Butterfly Garden combo is sold on the official booking page: Butterfly entry drops from AED 50 to AED 40 in the bundle, so an adult combo is AED 140 before VAT. The Butterfly Garden is a separate attraction next door, open all year, 9am to 6pm, with under-3s free and tickets from AED 50.

Dubai Miracle Garden is an outdoor flower garden in Al Barsha South 3, next door to the separate Dubai Butterfly Garden. It suits children of any age, from babies in a pushchair to teenagers, and is open 9am to 9pm daily, with last entry 30 minutes before closing. Season 15 runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 May 2027. On the official booking page tickets are AED 100 for adults and AED 80 for children aged 3 to 12 before VAT (AED 105 and AED 84 with VAT, as reported on opening day); under-3s go in free and UAE residents who verify with UAE PASS pay a lower resident rate. The garden covers 72,000 square metres with over 50 floral displays, so a visit is a walk between things children will recognise: the Emirates A380 covered in flowers, the Floral Castle, the Heart Tunnel, Smurfs Village and a giant teddy bear. Entry is single entry only, outside food is not allowed, and the paths are pushchair friendly.

The activity

Attractions & Edutainment, explained

A flower garden day out is a slow, outdoor wander rather than a ride-based park. Children walk the paths between giant floral sculptures, tunnels and arches, spot the characters and shapes they recognise, and stop for photos and snacks along the way. For younger ones it is mostly colour, scale and open space to move in; older children start to notice the planting, the seasonal changes and how the big structures are built. It suits any age, with babies and toddlers in a pushchair and no minimum age, and because it is outdoors it only runs in the cooler months, so mornings and late afternoons are the comfortable times to go.

Who it's for

All ages, with no minimum age. Under-3s go in free, children aged 3 to 12 pay the child rate and 13 and over pay the adult rate; the garden may ask for a passport or Emirates ID to check ages. The garden describes itself as wheelchair and stroller friendly, with paved paths through most areas and stairs only at some viewpoints, so it works for babies in a pushchair as well as older children who can walk the whole site. There is no kids-only zone: the floral sculptures, tunnels, Smurfs Village and the trampoline area are the draw for children.

What to expect

Book online and your tickets arrive on WhatsApp as a QR code. A ticket is valid on any day until the end of the season and the visit date can be changed on the website; once you leave you cannot come back in the same day. Inside, families follow paved paths past the big floral sculptures and through the tunnels and arches, with Smurfs Village and a trampoline area for children; the garden suggests allowing 2 to 3 hours. Outside food and drink are not allowed, so budget for snacks from the kiosks inside. Pets, drones and professional cameras are not permitted. In October and November, early-morning event tickets are sold separately and do not include a garden day ticket.
