Zabeel Park

Not only is Zabeel Park one of the largest parks in Dubai, but it’s also one of the first technology-driven parks in the Gulf.

Equivalent in size to 45 football fields, this tranquil spot is located in the centre of the city and is popular for a children’s amusement complex and expansive ‘edutainment’ centre.

Zabeel Park is home to the city’s newest attraction, the Dubai Frame, from where visitors can take in incredible views of both old and new Dubai.

Explore three different zones to find a vast array of activities for yourself and your family: the Alternative Energy Zone, Communications Zone and the Techno Zone. They are all technology-based, featuring educational and interactive exhibits.

The park also offers live music, barbecue and picnic areas, restaurants and boat rides. It’s also famous for large exhibits like the Dubai Garden Glow and the weekly Ripe Market during the cooler months. But, there are plenty of all-year-round facilities to enjoy, like the mega-bowl, galleries and sculptures.

You’ll also find plenty of sports options, aside from a pedestrian path, jogging track and fitness centre. Take your pick from mini-golf, cricket, skating, skateboarding and the BMX track.
