If your Halloween spirit needs a little boo-st, you’re not going to want to miss out on this! Leave the pumpkin carving and DIY costume-making at home and take a trip to The Green Planet in City Walk for a truly unique experience this spooky season.
Do you dare to snorkel with the piranhas? Those brave enough can actually get the chance this Halloween. The Green Planet has partnered with Al Boom Dive Center to create the first of its kind experience in the region. At just AED 330, guests will gear up with a wet suit and go behind the scenes to the ‘meat kitchen’ whilst receiving a full brief from the bio-dome’s expert biologist and receiving a back of house tour. The Snorkel with the Piranhas encounter will take Dubai’s boldest adventurers up close and personal with some of the rainforest’s most fascinating species.
To add to the thrill, the experience will take place during the daily piranha feeding frenzy at 4-5pm. Get the chance to feed and learn about multiple species, before taking the plunge, guests will assist with feeding the Pacu Fish their veggies, next up, witness over 1,000 of the notorious fish devour full chickens and turkeys, before being lowered into the tank. The once in a lifetime experience is open to anyone over the age of 6 and feel confident and comfortable swimming.
Don’t worry, guests of The Green Planet’s Snorkel with the Piranhas experience will be inside the water with a safe 1.5-meter distance and experience watching through their goggles as the feeding frenzy takes place – Did you know piranhas are actually scavengers and not predatory hunters… but that doesn’t stop the adrenaline!
Don’t fancy that much of a fright? Come and experience The Green Planet After Dark for the perfect treat this Halloween. Every Wednesday, from 7-9pm head to bio-dome at night and be greeted by all the nocturnal residents that encompass The Green Planet. 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 have the most spook-tacular night!
Throughout the whole month of October, the bio-dome will transform into an eerie Haunted Rainforest, complete with spooky spider webs, animal skeletons, RIP extinct animal tombstones and pumpkins galore. Get involved in frightful fun with spooky arts and crafts, haunted rainforest activity maps, and a range of games including hopscotch and pumpkin tic-tac-toe. Take note: Kids who arrive wearing animal inspired costumes will immediately be entered in a drawing to win a Zookeeper for a day!
Whether it’s swimming with petrifying piranhas, discovering night crawlers, or battling it out for the spookiest costume, The Green Planet Dubai is bound to give everyone their fright-night fix all month long!
