On the garden's own online shop an adult ticket costs AED 100 and a child ticket (ages 3 to 12) AED 80, while UAE residents who verify with UAE PASS pay AED 70 and AED 50. Children under 3 and People of Determination go in free. The easiest way there without a car is the Metro Red Line to Mall of the Emirates, then RTA bus 105 or a short taxi ride.
Opening hours
The garden lists its hours as 9am to 9pm daily, and its visitor questions page says it stays open until 11pm from Friday to Sunday during the season. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing time. Hours can change on public holidays.
The garden is seasonal. It says it usually opens in late September or October and runs until April or May, then closes for the summer for maintenance and replanting. The current season's closing date is not published on the garden's website.
Ticket prices
Dubai Miracle Garden: adults AED 100, children aged 3 to 12 AED 80. UAE resident rate: adults AED 70, children AED 50.
Dubai Butterfly Garden, next door, with its own ticket: AED 50 for adults and children. UAE resident rate: AED 30.

The garden's visitor questions page gives the tourist price as about AED 100 to 105 for adults and AED 80 to 85 for children, so the amount at checkout may differ slightly. Whether VAT is included in the listed price is not published. Ages 13 and over pay the adult price.
Free entry and discounts
Children under 3 enter free. People of Determination enter free with a valid People of Determination ID, and the person with them may get a reduced rate; that rate is not published.
The resident rate needs a valid Emirates ID: choose UAE Resident online and verify with UAE PASS. The shop limits how many resident-rate tickets one person can buy per day and per month; the limits themselves are not published.
Free birthday tickets are only for people who register beforehand on the garden's Birthday Program page; there is no free birthday entry at the gate without it.
How tickets work
Buy online at dubaimiraclegarden.com for the quickest entry; the QR ticket comes by email, and on WhatsApp if you give your number. Tickets can also be bought at the gate, subject to capacity. Screenshots may not always be accepted.
Online tickets are open-dated: they can be used on any day until the end of the current season. To change the planned date, use the Change visit date page with your booking reference (it starts with TB) and the one-time code sent to your email. Each ticket allows one entry only, so you cannot leave and come back on the same day. All sales are final and non-refundable, even on days closed for weather.
Tickets bought through travel websites or agents are issued by that seller; if one does not scan, contact the seller, as the gate cannot reissue it.
How to get there
The garden is in Al Barsha South 3, Dubailand.

take the Red Line to Mall of the Emirates station, then a taxi of about 10 to 15 minutes. 2. Bus: RTA bus 105 runs from Mall of the Emirates to the garden on a seasonal timetable, paid with a nol card. The fare and frequency are not published on the garden's website; check the RTA journey planner. 3. Taxi or ride-hailing: an RTA taxi, Careem or Uber can drop you at the entrance. 4.

Common questions
How long should I allow? The garden suggests two to three hours, plus one to two hours if you add the Butterfly Garden.
When is it least crowded? The garden recommends weekday mornings between 9am and 11am. Arriving around 4pm to 5pm lets you see the displays in daylight and then lit up after sunset.
