Dubai: Global Village, the region’s largest seasonal theme park on Emirates Road, opens its gates to the public on Sunday for free as it marks the opening of its longest season  in 17 years.

The park has also decided to extend its opening hours until 2am (main park) and 3am (rides) during the weekends, which fall within the Eid in Dubai celebrations.

Regular timings will resume after the Eid celebrations. The traditional Monday Family Day will begin after November 2.

Eight countries have been added to the 37 pavilions at the park totalling over 65 countries to date. Funfair rides have also increased by 30 per cent this year.
