About this experience
Dubai Butterfly Garden is the largest covered butterfly garden in the world, sitting next door to Dubai Miracle Garden in Al Barsha South. Nine climate-controlled domes hold roughly 15,000 live butterflies drawn from more than fifty species, flying freely among feeding stations and planting chosen to keep them close to the walkways.
Alongside the flight domes there is a butterfly museum covering the life cycle from egg to adult, and a viewing area where newly emerged butterflies dry their wings. Because the domes are enclosed and cooled, the garden stays open through the summer months when the neighbouring Miracle Garden closes.
