With Dubai's cooler winter months approaching, two of the city's major family attractions are reopening for the new season. Dubai Safari Park welcomes visitors back on Monday, October 12, while Global Village has already resumed activity for its new season during the week of October 10.
Dubai Safari Park is organised into six themed zones, each recreating a distinct natural habitat, from African forests to Asian grasslands and other wildlife regions. The park offers live animal presentations, interactive activities for children and conservation-focused educational programming, making it a popular pick for families and young visitors keen to get close to wild cats and other animals.
Global Village, one of Dubai's most visited seasonal destinations, has opened its new season with pavilions representing cultures from around the world, live musical performances, a wide range of food stalls, beauty and skincare vendors, and outdoor carnival-style games. The attraction draws millions of visitors each year from across the UAE and abroad.
Together with the earlier reopenings of other seasonal Dubai attractions such as Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Parks and Resorts, these launches mark the unofficial start of the emirate's winter tourism season, a period typically defined by cooler weather and a surge in both tourist arrivals and resident outdoor activity. Visitors are advised to check each attraction's official website for exact opening hours and ticketing details before planning a visit.
