Dubai Safari Park will reopen on 14 October 2025, marking the start of Season 7. Spread across more than 100 hectares in Al Warqa, the park is home to over 3,000 animals and offers one of the city’s most engaging outdoor experiences.
Visitors this season can expect a mix of upgraded facilities, daily shows, and interactive encounters designed to bring people closer to wildlife. For families, nature lovers, and school groups, the park remains one of Dubai’s most popular destinations during the cooler months.
Five zones to discover
The park is divided into five themed areas: African Village, Asian Village, Arabian Desert Safari, Explorer Village, and Adventure Valley. Each zone is designed to recreate natural habitats and give visitors the chance to encounter species in environments that feel closer to the wild.
Highlights include lions and elephants in the African Village, exotic birds and reptiles in the Asian Village, and desert wildlife in the Arabian Safari. Explorer Village offers guided drives, while Adventure Valley blends walking trails with lookout points.
Up-close animal encounters
Daily feeding sessions are one of the biggest draws at Dubai Safari Park. Visitors can hand food to giraffes, feed birds, or join sessions with elephants and other animals. These interactive experiences are especially popular with children and provide a memorable way to connect with wildlife beyond observation.
The park also schedules live shows and talks throughout the day, giving visitors insight into animal behaviour and conservation practices.
Adventure Valley for explorers
For those who prefer a more active visit, Adventure Valley offers walking trails and shaded lookout points. It provides a quieter break between the busier areas of the park, making it a good option for visitors who want to enjoy the open space at a slower pace.
Getting around the park
Covering such a large area can be tiring, but the park makes it easier with a shuttle train service that connects all five zones. Guests can hop on and off as they please, making it convenient for families with young children or those who want to see the entire park without too much walking.
Opening hours and ticket details
Dubai Safari Park typically opens daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with last entry around mid-afternoon. Mornings are considered the best time to visit, when the park is quieter and the animals are more active.
Ticket prices start from AED 50 for adults and AED 20 for children. A Park Plus option is also available, which includes access to the shuttle train and extra attractions. Children under three and people of determination often enter free of charge. For visitors looking for something more exclusive, premium safari experiences and behind-the-scenes tours can be booked in advance.
