Dubai Miracle Garden Season 15 is now open, and the garden will welcome visitors daily until 31 May 2027. Sheikh Theyab bin Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Miracle Group, inaugurated the new season on 8 October 2026. The Government of Dubai Media Office reported the inauguration.
The flower garden in Al Barsha South 3 adds a different themed celebration each week and keeps its birthday offer for eligible UAE residents. The signature floral displays return, including the Emirates A380 and the Floral Castle. Here is what to know about tickets, opening hours and the new programme before you visit.

Dubai Miracle Garden Season 15 dates and opening hours
Dubai Miracle Garden Season 15 runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 May 2027. The garden closes during summer for maintenance and replanting.
The official garden website currently lists 9:00 am to 9:00 pm daily, with last entry 30 minutes before closing. However, the government’s season-opening announcement gives a later 11:00 pm closing time at weekends. Confirm the closing time for your chosen date with the garden before planning a late weekend visit; public-holiday hours may also change.
Each ticket is valid for a single entry. If you leave the garden, you cannot come back in on the same ticket.

These are the prices displayed in the booking form at the time of checking. Review the final total and any tax or fee information before paying. Resident rates appear only after verification, so a fixed resident discount is not quoted here. The Miracle Garden and Butterfly Garden combo is a separate booking option; AED 140 is the adult price, not a flat rate for every visitor.
Free birthday tickets for UAE residents
The official Birthday Programme offers two complimentary tickets to eligible UAE residents with birthdays from October to May. A valid Emirates ID is required; tourists and passport-only applicants are not eligible.
Register in advance using the official form. Verification includes a photograph of the physical Emirates ID and a live face scan. The programme says tickets are sent by email and WhatsApp two days before the birthday, and a discount coupon is emailed after registration. Check the validity and conditions in your confirmation rather than assuming you can claim free entry at the gate.
What’s new this season
The biggest change this year is the programme. For the first time, the garden will hold a different themed celebration every week. The opening months include Pink October, United Nations Day, UAE Flag Day and Diwali. The garden will also host special events for Commemoration Day and Eid Al Etihad (UAE National Day).
The official events calendar lists morning activities before the garden’s 9:00 am opening during October and November, including Halloween and Diwali activities, runs, walks, cycling and cosplay. These require their own event tickets. A morning-event ticket neither requires nor includes regular garden admission; buy a separate garden ticket if you also want to visit during normal opening hours.
Fitness fans can combine a visit with the citywide Dubai Fitness Challenge 2026, which runs from 31 October to 29 November. The garden’s activity events tie in with the challenge.
Right on Time: Stephen Speaks Live in Dubai is scheduled for Saturday, 21 November 2026, at the garden’s amphitheatre and needs its own ticket.
Must-see attractions at Dubai Miracle Garden
The season-opening announcement describes more than 200 million flowers from over 150 varieties across 72,000 square metres. Highlights to look for include:
- Emirates A380: a life-size Airbus A380 covered in flowers, the garden’s best-known installation.
- Floral Castle: a fairytale-style castle covered in blossoms.
- Heart Tunnel: a walk-through arch of flower-covered hearts, one of the most popular photo spots.
- Umbrella Passage: a canopy of colourful umbrellas above the walkway.
- Floral Clock: a working clock made of flowers.
- Floating Lady: a floral figure that appears to float above the garden.
- Smurfs Village, Sunflower Field and Hill Top: good areas for families and photos.
Dubai Butterfly Garden is next door and requires its own admission or the combo ticket. Check its opening hours separately if you plan to visit both attractions.

Rules to know before you go
Under the official visitor rules, the following are not allowed during ordinary visits:
- Drones and professional cameras, unless you have prior approval.
- Outside food and drinks, and barbecues.
- Pets.
- Bicycles, scooters, hoverboards and balls.
- Picking flowers.
- Smoking anywhere in the garden.
The separately ticketed morning programme includes designated pet walks and cycling activities. Follow that specific event’s conditions; its rules do not give permission to bring pets or bicycles on an ordinary garden visit.
Planning the rest of your Dubai visit
For daylight photos and evening lighting on the same visit, consider arriving before sunset, leaving enough time before closing. If you want dinner or a walk afterwards, our guide to things to do in Dubai at night has more ideas beyond the garden.
For another seasonal outing, compare the pavilions and entertainment in our Global Village Dubai guide. If wildlife is the priority for your family, use the Dubai Safari Park visitor guide to plan a separate day rather than rushing two large attractions into one trip.
