Dubai Garden Glow, Dubai Overview

Dubai Garden Glow is the world's first park dedicated to glow-in-the-dark. Situated within Zabeel Park, this place is well known for extraordinary light architecture installations inspired by art objects from all across the world. Images of a giant jellyfish moving in time to the music while floating above the Zabeel Lake have mesmerized both children and adults, while the images of a sparkling Burj Khalifa are definitely awe-inspiring. It is open from October to April every year.

A favourite for young children, the glittering carriage of Cinderella, a dinosaur park and other installations are a must-see. Set to a seasonal calendar, the Garden Glow is in its fourth season at the moment and presents four different theme parks within its premises giving the visitors an opportunity to visit the park during multiple seasons to witness new installations.
