Dubai Garden Glow Fantasy Park has become a signature winter attraction inside Zabeel Park since its debut in 2015. Each year from October to April, the park is transformed into a vibrant spectacle of illuminated art, enchanting visitors with a mix of creativity, technology, and seasonal charm.
The park spans multiple themed zones, each presenting unique glowing installations. Visitors can explore luminous castles, giant animals, fantasy characters, and globally inspired landmarks, all constructed with millions of energy-efficient LED lights. The attention to detail, from the colors to the intricate design, makes each display photogenic and immersive.
Fantasy Park focuses on creativity and sustainability. Many installations are built from recycled materials, promoting environmental awareness alongside visual delight. The park incorporates interactive displays where children can engage with art and learn about the technology behind illumination, blending education with entertainment.
Evenings at Fantasy Park are especially magical. The soft ambient lighting combined with larger-than-life illuminated structures creates a sense of wonder. Visitors often describe it as walking through a glowing fairy tale. Wide walkways allow easy movement for strollers, wheelchairs, and groups, making it family-friendly and accessible.
The park is strategically located near Max Metro Station on Dubai Metro Red Line, allowing visitors to reach it conveniently without a private vehicle. Paid parking is available for those driving, while taxis, ride-hailing services, and RTA buses also provide easy access.
Dubai Garden Glow Fantasy Park is part of a larger trend in Dubai’s tourism sector that emphasizes seasonal attractions. Each year, new themes and installations are introduced, which encourages repeat visits. Photographers, families, and tourists alike enjoy capturing the dynamic colors and innovative designs. Many visitors combine their trip with Dinosaur Park Dubai and Zabeel Park to create a complete evening experience.
During its early years, Fantasy Park became recognized not only for entertainment but also for its contribution to Dubai’s creative arts scene. Collaborations with local artists and designers ensure that each season brings new perspectives, blending culture, fantasy, and technology. Seasonal events and workshops also offer interactive opportunities for children and adults.
The attraction has received widespread acclaim for its visual storytelling. The illuminated pathways guide visitors through narrative-driven zones where each installation has a story, making the experience more than just a display of lights. Educational components explain the design concepts, the environmental considerations, and the history of materials used.
Fantasy Park’s combination of entertainment, education, and sustainability makes it a unique destination. From enjoying a romantic evening with couples to family outings filled with wonder and learning, the park caters to a broad audience. The blend of technology, artistry, and interactivity makes it a standout seasonal attraction in Dubai.
Visitors are encouraged to plan their trip during weekday evenings to avoid weekend crowds. Evening visits after sunset enhance the effect of the illuminated installations. With ticket prices starting at AED 70, it offers an affordable yet memorable night out in Dubai.
