THE GREEN PLANET

Dubai, UAE.

The Green Planet is an immersive, hands-on science center in the heart of Dubai. The biodome is home to over three thousand tropical plants and animals including sloths, monkeys, birds, insects and fish.

The guest journey starts on the flooded rainforest floor, visitors ascend by high speed elevator to the top of the forest canopy and then traverse around and down the 82 foot tall kapok tree, experiencing each unique habitat that is found in a tropical rainforest.

zoOceanarium Group played an integral role in all stages of developing The Green Planet; from concept through construction. As construction was completed, the company was contracted to provide a turnkey operations solution that included acquiring animals, setting up the retail and F&B components, establishing sales channels, hiring and training staff, developing education programs and fully operating the facility. In addition to being a fun leisure attraction, appealing to residents and tourists alike, The Green Planet is still the Middle East's premiere destination for environmental education and awareness.
