Dubai’s famous outdoor wildlife park is about to go on summer break—and if you haven’t visited yet, time is running out. Dubai Safari Park is officially closing its gates on Sunday, June 1, 2025, as the city enters peak heat season.
Before the gates temporarily close, visitors can expect a lineup of special events, animal encounters, and conservation-themed activities, aking this final stretch a must-visit moment for families and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
A Summer Pause Before Season 7
Dubai Safari Park operates seasonally to ensure optimal conditions for both animals and guests. With the summer heat approaching, the park will undergo annual maintenance and animal care routines before reopening for Season 7 on October 14, 2025.
This scheduled closure allows the facility to perform upgrades, enhance its guest offerings, and improve habitat environments for the animals—a commitment that reinforces the park’s reputation as a responsible and forward-thinking conservation hub in the region.
Real Progress in Animal Conservation
Beyond the shows and safari rides, Dubai Safari Park has made serious contributions to wildlife preservation this year. In recent months, the park welcomed the birth of a rare white rhino calf and moon bear cub twins—a major win for global conservation efforts.
As part of its mission, the park will celebrate World Rhino Day on Thursday, May 1, just before the seasonal closure. The event spotlights endangered rhino species, educates visitors on global conservation challenges, and showcases the park’s efforts in wildlife protection.
Every ticket sold contributes to these efforts, with a portion of revenue directed towards both local and international conservation programs.
Exciting Events and Interactive Experiences Await
With just weeks left until closing, Dubai Safari Park is pulling out all the stops to ensure that Season 6 ends on a high note. Among the key attractions:
- Safari Adventure Feeding Sessions: Visitors can engage in up-close feeding experiences, observing animal behaviors and learning about their diets from park experts.
- Junior Ranger Programme: A hands-on educational programme designed to spark curiosity and conservation awareness in children.
- Animal Encounters: From birds of prey to giraffes and reptiles, guests can enjoy supervised interactions and learn about exotic species from trained handlers.
- Air-Conditioned Experiences: To beat the rising heat, the park offers indoor exhibits and an air-conditioned shuttle train connecting its six thematic zones—ensuring a comfortable and enriching day out.
Each of these activities is tailored to create lasting memories while also promoting awareness about biodiversity and sustainability.
Mark the Date: The Park Reopens October 14
Fans of the park won’t have to wait too long for its comeback. The seventh season of Dubai Safari Park is already set to begin on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. Officials are promising an even bigger lineup of attractions and improvements when it returns.
While exact details haven’t been confirmed, visitors can expect new activations, interactive zones, and possibly expanded safari experiences that build on this year’s success. With the rising interest in eco-tourism and educational travel, the park aims to evolve into more than just a family outing—it wants to be a national symbol of conservation, education, and fun.
“We’re working on enhancements to make the next season the most memorable yet,” said AlKhoori during the recent Arabian Travel Market. “It’s about offering more value, more learning, and more excitement for everyone who walks through our gates.”

With summer holidays just around the corner and limited time before the park’s June 1 closure, now is the ideal time for families, school groups, and tourists to explore Dubai Safari Park.
