Dubai Butterfly Garden: hours, tickets and the Miracle Garden combo

3 min read

Dubai Butterfly Garden is open daily from 9am to 6pm, and unlike Dubai Miracle Garden next door, it keeps taking bookings through the low season: its official calendar was open for visits in late September 2026, ahead of Miracle Garden's own 8 October reopening. This guide covers hours, tickets, what's inside, and the official combo ticket with Miracle Garden.

Open on its own calendar

Dubai Butterfly Garden does not share Dubai Miracle Garden's seasonal closure. When we checked on 29 September 2026, its official booking calendar was already open for visits, weeks before Miracle Garden's own Season 15 reopening on 8 October 2026.

It is open daily from 09:00 to 18:00.

Tickets and the combo

Adults and children aged 3 to 12 both pay AED 50; under-3s go free. Prices are on the official site's own booking page.

The official combo covers Dubai Miracle Garden and the Butterfly Garden for AED 140 total, pricing the Butterfly Garden part at AED 40 instead of AED 50, a saving of 20%, and that part of the combo stays valid for 3 months from the date of purchase, regardless of the Miracle Garden date chosen.

Our price for the Butterfly Garden ticket alone is on the card above, with our cancellation terms.

What is inside

Between 8,000 and 10,000 butterflies from more than 50 species fly freely across climate-controlled domes, alongside a museum and a kids' cinema.

Next to Dubai Miracle Garden

Dubai Butterfly Garden is a separate attraction next to Dubai Miracle Garden, in Al Barsha South — not included in a standard Miracle Garden ticket. The two are linked only through the official combo ticket, described above.

Dubai Butterfly Garden Entrance Ticket

The Dubai Butterfly Garden is the largest covered butterfly garden in the world, and it holds between 8,000 and 10,000 living butterflies across ten climate-controlled domes. They fly free around you rather than sitting behind glass, so the experience is one of standing still and waiting to see what lands - on a sleeve, a shoulder, occasionally a hand. Nine of the domes are given over to the butterflies themselves; the tenth is an education space that follows the full lifecycle from egg through caterpillar and chrysalis to adult, with live specimens at each stage, which makes it genuinely useful for children rather than merely pretty. There is also a butterfly museum and an art section on site. Allow around ninety minutes. Wear bright colours if you want butterflies to settle on you, move slowly, and avoid strong perfume. The domes are air-conditioned and fully covered, so the garden stays open and comfortable through the summer, unlike much of what is nearby.
