Normally getting caught in the rain is rare in Dubai, however guests of The Green Planet will now get to experience a daily thunderstorm – close your eyes and transport to the depths of the tropics.
Running twice a day, at 1pm and 5pm, visitors of the beloved bio-dome can catch the tropical thunderstorm with inclusion of a general admission pass. The storm will last for roughly around 5 minutes – plenty of time to get caught dancing in the rain!
Hear the rumbles, notice the electric flashes and feel the blowing wind, with the latest addition to Dubai’s only rainforest, which gives guests an immersive, real life experience of what a tropical thunderstorm feels like.
With a specialised design rain system, combined with high tech audio and visual effects, guests will experience an authentic tropical thunderstorm right in the heart of City Walk – Don’t fret, there are places that guests can watch the thunderstorm without getting wet themselves!
Thunderstorms are essential to rainforest habitats and wildlife, something that The Green Planet credits itself to teach residents and visitors of Dubai. They strive to promote the importance of present and future human actions, to continue caring for the planet. Another important element of the daily thunderstorms was to make sure the animals who call the bio-dome home can enjoy it as well!
Learn from The Green Planet biologists who are on hand to walk visitors through what is happening during the daily thunderstorm bursts and how the animals react to it. The Green Planet animal family love to play and explore frequently throughout the rainforest and have been enjoying the new daily thunderstorms, along with the puddles that come afterwards!
From December 2nd, rediscover The Green Planet After Dark for the perfect mid-week outing. Every Wednesday, from 7-9pm head to bio-dome at night to witness a nightfall thunderstorm at 8pm each week and be greeted by the nocturnal residents that encompass The Green Planet. This is when you can truly see the magnitude of tropical lightning After Dark- a sight to behold!
Say hi to the Sloths, get up close and personal with a Gecko and pay a visit to the famous Slow Loris family at their most active time of day! After, grab dinner at The TGP Café lit up at night and serving an array of tasty food and beverages.
Feel the thunder, and experience the magic of the elements, exclusively at Dubai’s only rainforest.
