Flowers at Dubai Miracle Garden (DMG) are once again in full bloom, and the favourite family theme park will re-open its doors for Season 13 on Saturday, September 28.
Entry fee has now also become cheaper for UAE residents, DMG confirmed to Khaleej Times on Friday. By showing their Emirates ID, adults and children can enter the floral park for Dh60 each – down by Dh5 from last year’s price of Dh65. Kids below three years old can enter for free.

For tourists and non-UAE residents, however, ticket prices have gone up by Dh5 – now priced at Dh100 for adults and Dh85 for children. Those who are below three years old are also free, even if they are not UAE residents.
DMG said they will start accepting online booking from September 28
Touted as the largest natural flower garden in the world, DMG showcases every year more than 150 million natural flowers of about 120 varieties. The garden has different themes, inspired by popular events and famous characters such as the Smurfs.
A regular fixture at DMG is the Guinness World Record-holding mock-up of Emirates A380 covered in more than 500,000 fresh flowers and live plants. DMG also has an ‘Umbrella Tunnel’ and ‘Lake Park’ “that celebrate creativity and beauty of nature.”
Located in Dubailand, Dubai Miracle Garden opened for the first time on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2013. For Season 13, the family destination will be open daily from 9am until 9pm from Monday to Friday; and from 9am until 11pm on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and public holidays.
