Dinosaur Park Dubai is one of the most visited seasonal attractions inside Zabeel Park. Launched in 2015 as part of the larger Dubai Garden Glow project, it was designed to create a space where education and entertainment meet. The concept was simple. Build a prehistoric world in the middle of the city where children and adults can walk among dinosaurs and learn about Earth’s ancient history.

The park features more than 100 animatronic dinosaurs placed across different themed zones. Each section represents a geological era including the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. Visitors move through a timeline of more than 200 million years. Information boards explain how dinosaurs lived, what they ate, and how they became extinct around 65 million years ago.

Some of the most popular models include Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops. Several dinosaurs stand up to 12 meters tall. The realistic movement, blinking eyes, and roaring sound effects create a dramatic atmosphere, especially after sunset. Lighting design adds depth and makes each dinosaur stand out against the dark sky.

The park also includes fossil displays and educational panels that explain how paleontologists study bones and footprints. Children can see replica skeletons and learn how fossils are formed over thousands of years. This hands on learning environment makes it a favorite for school field trips during the winter season.

Dubai attracts more than 17 million international visitors annually, and family attractions play a major role in tourism growth. Dinosaur Park contributes to this by offering an affordable outdoor experience in a central location. With ticket prices starting from AED 65, it remains accessible for residents and tourists.

The attraction operates seasonally from October to April due to Dubai’s climate. Evening visits are recommended because temperatures are cooler and the lighting effects enhance the overall experience. Many visitors combine their trip with Dubai Garden Glow and Zabeel Park for a complete evening outing.

Its location near Max Metro Station makes it easy to reach without a car. The Red Line connects key areas such as Dubai Marina, Downtown, and Deira. The short walk from the station adds convenience for tourists staying in central Dubai.

Over the years, Dinosaur Park Dubai has maintained strong visitor ratings. Families often highlight the educational value and photo opportunities. The attraction continues to evolve with updated displays and improved lighting each season.
