The Complex of the Green Planet

The complex of the Green Planet itself is one of the most interesting features of the indoor rainforest. This indoor tropical rainforest has close to 3000 plants, free birds, and animals enjoying the vegetation. One of the highlights of the complex is that it has a giant 25-meter man-made tree as it is the focal point and symbolizes that of a life-sustaining tree.
The Bio-Dome of the Green Planet in Dubai has four levels in total. They are the Flooded Rainforest, the Midstory, the Forest Floor, and the Canopy. Each of these levels explains the significance of a rainforest and the importance of its role in nature. Each of the animals on the Green Planet has been brought over from zoos and private breeders. None of the animals were caught in the wild for the park.

Inside the complex, every animal has been provided with their own open space to roam about freely. The wide range of plants in the Green planet has been chosen in such a way that they get along with each other in a safe manner.

The Green Planet in Dubai is home to more than a thousand varieties of Animals. Some of the animals are parrots, different reptiles, porcupines, snakes, arachnids, sloths and an innumerable variety of fishes. While exploring the place one does not have to worry about the animals, as they are kept on the other side of a glass enclosure. The spectators can roam around and explore in peace and enjoy the animals.
Canopy is the highest point of the rainforest where you can observe the birds flying near the dome. One can find a variety of birds in the Green Planet arena like the Toucans and Macaws. The flooded rainforest is the lowest level of the Indoor rainforest and it houses an aquarium that depicts the complex ecosystem of underwater life. The visitors can also see frogs, lizards and snakes from a safe distance.

The various levels of the indoor rainforest give an extensive purview into the flora and fauna that prevails in such an ecosystem. The Green Planet in Dubai is an amazing opportunity for families to come, experience and also escape from the desert heat.

The Green Planet in Dubai is one of the best ways for one to get up close and personal with various animals. This is possible thanks to the many curated experiences that the indoor rainforest conducts.

The activity even allows for a selfie opportunity with the sloths. This activity would cost AED150 per person and is a 30 minutes experience.

Similarly, there is also an activity called the Sugar glider encounter. The sugar gliders are little marsupials that can fly. They come from the same family as the squirrels do.
