New Ticket Prices

So, I’ve got some bad news for you – unfortunately, ticket prices for season 29 of Global Village have increased. I know, I know, I can hear the collective sighs of disappointment from the other side of the screen. Last season online tickets cost AED 22.50 for weekday passes and AED 27 for any-day passes. As for season 29, online tickets will now cost AED 25 for a weekday pass (valid from Sunday to Thursday, excluding public holidays) and AED 30 for any-day passes. However, children below age 3, Seniors above 65 and People of Determination can still enjoy free entry into the park
