If you’re a fan of bright lights, mind-boggling optical illusions, and ancient reptiles that once roamed the planet, visiting Dubai Garden Glow is perfect!

This wonderful park is considered the largest glow park on Earth and spans acres within Zabeel Park. What’s impressive about this park is how its colorful garden hopes to promote the issue of global warming and carbon footprints. It’s home to three distinct zones: Dinosaur Park, Magic Park, and Glow Park. Each zone has unique attractions, so you are guaranteed plenty of things to do. 

Did you know that the Dinosaur Park in Dubai Garden Glow is the world's largest dinosaur park? If you adore anything dinosaur-related, you should head over to this area first! 

With over 100 animatronic dinosaurs within the facility, the kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy learning about the prehistoric era through its interactive hubs in the Dinosaur Lab and fossil collections, which you can see in the Dinosaur Museum. The Dinosaur Park is unique because the spectacular models you see are all astonishingly environment-friendly.

Head on over to the Magic Park if you want to challenge yourself with brain teasers! Visiting the zone has been a favorite weekend activity for locals and tourists alike. You’ll see why as you wander rooms based on different optical illusions. Some will leave you feeling positively discombobulated as you’ll look like you’re defying reality — walking on ceilings or having your body look like it’s cut in half. 

Take a break from the crazy scenes but still indulge in fascinating activities like posing with wildlife creatures or posing in a kaleidoscope-like background. All it takes is a bit of camera magic for that perfect Insta shot!
