A night inside a rainforest isn’t something most families expect to find in Dubai. Yet that’s exactly what keeps visitors returning to one of the city’s most unusual seasonal experiences. As families continue looking for activities that blend entertainment with learning, Camping in the Rainforest is making its much anticipated return to The Green Planet Dubai until October 2026.
Back by popular demand, the experience transforms the biodome after dark, offering guests a completely different perspective of the tropical rainforest. While daytime visitors experience the energy of the ecosystem, overnight campers get to witness what happens when the lights dim and nocturnal creatures become active.
This year’s programme introduces three themed editions designed to keep every overnight stay feeling unique. June welcomes Jungle by the Moonlight, where expert biologists guide families through the rainforest after sunset. July shifts into exploration mode with Rainforest Rovers: Expedition Edition, featuring scavenger hunts, wildlife discovery challenges and interactive activities. August brings Legends of The Green Planet, combining storytelling, creativity and animal encounters inspired by the rainforest’s most fascinating residents.
The growing popularity of experience based family activities has reshaped how many UAE residents spend their weekends and school breaks. Families increasingly seek experiences that create memories while encouraging curiosity and discovery.
Each overnight package includes a buffet dinner, breakfast, nocturnal biome tour, entertainment centre access, a morning back of house experience and an animal feeding session. Guests stay in fully prepared tents equipped with mattresses, pillows, sheets and blankets, allowing them to focus entirely on the experience.
Campers may encounter some of the biodome’s most beloved residents, including Lemon the sloth, Kendrick the lemur and Avo the anteater. Alongside free roaming birds and geckos, these close up wildlife encounters create moments that feel far removed from everyday city life.
One of the strongest trends in family entertainment today is the demand for immersive activities that combine education with adventure. Parents want experiences that feel meaningful while still being fun enough to keep children engaged.
With more than 3,000 plants and animals living within the biodome, Camping in the Rainforest offers something few attractions can replicate. It’s part wildlife encounter, part sleepover and part educational adventure. With packages now starting from AED 790 for a tent for two, the experience is more accessible than ever. For families, nature lovers and curious explorers, this seasonal favourite remains one of Dubai’s most memorable overnight escapes!
