Discover the exciting Dubai Garden Glow & Dinosaur Park

Dubai Garden Glow (DGG) is a captivating attraction in the heart of Dubai. Located within Zabeel Park, which is in proximity to the best family hotels in Dubai, DGG is the world’s largest glow-in-the-dark garden. This whimsical spectacle offers a treat for all ages and is environmentally friendly, an element appreciated by most families. Although it uses millions of tiny lights for imaginative creations, optical illusions, and interactive art forms, all of them use energy-saving lights. The light installations are created using recycled materials. 

All these creations and effects can be enjoyed in special themed zones such as Glow Park, the Art Park, Magic Park, and Ice Park within DGG. Within this garden is the Dinosaur Park, offering a thrilling journey for children who love these prehistoric creatures. Just like in the rest of the park, the illuminated dinosaur sculptures add a prehistoric touch to the entire glow-in-the-dark setup.

For families using central properties like the Paramount Hotel Dubai, this attraction is a mere 15-minute ride away. 

Winter festivities at Ski Dubai

While the family enjoys the cooler temperatures of the winter season in Dubai, kids would also love winter sports and reveling in the snow. Ski Dubai, an indoor ski resort in the Mall of the Emirates, doesn’t disappoint lovers of winter sports. The resort has many activities centered around Christmas during this season.

Building snowmen, friendly snow fights, penguin encounters, exhilarating sports like tobogganing, sledding, and Giant Ball Run are some of the less adventurous activities awaiting families for collective fun, while Snow Bullet Ride and Mountain Thriller are more adventurous activities for bigger children.

A fascinating Sunset Cruise 

Treat your family to a sunset cruise on a traditional dhow. This interesting family-friendly cruise at the Dubai Marina can easily be arranged, as many private operators provide these services. It allows your children to witness the Dubai skyline on the water as the city gets lit up for the evening.

The weather in December is ideal for such a soothing cruise and to watch the city lights reflected on the water as they observe from the deck. Dinner, live music, and entertainment can be arranged as needed for the entire family to remember this experience.

Dubai Miracle Garden

Covering over 72,000 sq m and boasting millions of blooms, Dubai Miracle Garden is the world’s largest natural flower garden. It is indeed a miracle garden as all these beautiful blooms are flowering in the desert, however, with careful nurturing.

Visiting this visual marvel is a wonderful experience for families with children. Apart from the colossal stretches of blooms, this garden encompasses floral sculptures, stunning designs and displays, vertical gardens, and more features of outstanding garden artistry. An outstanding feature here is the life-size replication of the Emirates Airbus 380 aircraft structure, which received a Guinness World Record Award for the Largest Floral Structure in 2016. The floral structures are changed each season to make regular visitors appreciate something new.

A visit here will awaken an interest in nature for children. Although this garden is closed during the hot summer months, the winter season makes it a spectacular field of blooms that makes children admire the beauty and appreciate the value of nature.
