The world of record-breaking flower arrangements

The unique park includes an impressive line-up of world-renowned buildings and structures, transformed into colourful and aromatic flower exhibits.
As no two flowers are the same, each season the Dubai Miracle Garden welcomes guests with a whole new set up, leaving repeat visitors in as much awe as those strolling through the garden for the very first time. The blossom-filled park comes complete with a number of exciting attractions and amazing activities, guaranteed to deliver an unforgettable experience to visitors of any age.
Take a romantic stroll down the heart-shaped alley with your partner, feel like royalty making your way past petal-powered castles and skip the day away at Smurfs Village. You’d definitely lose track of time if it wasn’t for the unmissable floral clock!
Attraction-filled flower field
As mentioned, the enchanting garden boasts an array of new exhibits and attractions each season. However, there are a few crowd-favourites that manage to put their roots down year after year and for good reason.
If you’ve ever heard about Dubai Miracle Garden, chances are you’ve seen a photo of the Emirates Airbus A380 decked out to the nines in breathtaking blossoms. The spectacular double-decker design was created in collaboration with Emirates Airline to build the biggest floral installation in the world.
The record-breaking exhibit claims its well-earned spotlight in the heart of the garden and is one of the most loved attractions within the park.
Another fan-favourite comes in the form of a giant teddy bear, set to bring back those sweet childhood memories and steal the heart of any by-passer. Holding one of those hearts in his huge, flower-covered paws, the adorable teddy represents a message of peace, love and harmony. If that isn’t impressive enough, we’re happy to share that you won’t be able to find such teddy-themed floral arrangement anywhere else in the world.
Once you’ve made your way through the heart-shaped pathway, get ready to enjoy a bit of shade in the iconic Umbrella Tunnel. The colourful passage covered by an umbrella ceiling is undeniably one of the most unique and interesting spaces within the garden. Complete with hanging greenery, the rainforest vibe of the tunnel is set up to provide the perfect scenery for some rest and relaxation. Give your feet a little break from all the frolicking as you settle in on one of the benches or grab a delicious dish from one of the many food and beverage outlets at the venue.
If you’re looking to feel a world away from the buzzing city, head to Lake Park to indulge in the calming combination of water and flowers. Delivering the ultimate form of floral support, the incredible park includes magical floral villas and spectacular sea travel vessels, creating a photo-opportunity like no other.
Going beyond buds and blossoms
Although the extraordinary venue is an absolute must-see in its own right, Dubai Miracle Garden takes things further than just flowers, providing various entertainment and activities for the whole family. Once tired from walking around the park, little ones can enjoy their time at the fun-filled Kids’ Play Zone decorated with giant flowers. The staff is there to keep an eye on them, giving parents the chance to really stop and smell the roses.
Proven to be a massive success in previous years, we’re crossing our fingers for a repeat of the Flower Parade we’re still not quite over yet. Performers wearing colourful costumes and mysterious masks march through the beautiful garden in choreographed step, leaving the audience cheering in joy. With relaxing yoga classes and sizzling Zumba sessions on the agenda, Dubai Miracle Garden is your one-stop-shop for a perfect day in Dubai.
So if you’d like to escape the fast pace of the city, slow things down a bit and take time to smell the roses, book a visit to Dubai Miracle Garden and spend a day admiring the beauty of a blossoming wonderland.
