Dubai Safari Park to close for summer on June 1, final weekend awaits visitors

Dubai: Dubai Safari Park will close its doors for the summer on June 1, 2025, offering visitors one last weekend to enjoy its unique wildlife experiences before the seasonal break.

Located in the heart of the city, the park has become a premier destination for animal lovers, especially during the warmer months, thanks to its range of air-conditioned and shaded facilities.

Visitors can explore more than seven indoor exhibits featuring lions, chimpanzees, gorillas, reptiles, hyenas, and both hippos and pygmy hippos — all in climate-controlled environments designed for both comfort and education.

To ensure a pleasant experience during the summer heat, the park offers air-conditioned shuttle trains and shaded walking paths, with upgraded misting systems across its six themed zones. The shuttle service is included with every ticket.

One of the park’s highlights is the Explorer Safari Tour, a guided, air-conditioned drive-through experience where guests can see animals in enclosures designed to replicate their natural habitats. Expert guides provide educational commentary throughout the tour.

Tickets can be purchased at www.dubaisafari.ae or at the park entrance. Dubai Safari Park will reopen for its seventh season on October 14, 2025.
