What’s new at Dubai Miracle Garden for its 10th season?

A highlight of Dubai Miracle Garden’s attractions this year is the Smurfs Village. Inspired by the beloved blue creatures from the Belgian comics and later popularised by the hit films, the attraction features the Smurfs' whimsical world through quirky landscape arrangements.

Visitors can wander around life-size mushroom houses, which come alive with special light effects at night. The same section features Smurf Topiaries with giant green structures decorated with vibrant flowers, and the Central Plaza welcomes visitors to see their favourite Smurf characters interact with the garden.

Dubai Miracle Garden also features a number of other floral structures, which are new for the 2021-2022 season. These include a three-dimensional clock, a “floating rock” with a fountain and floral peacocks. There are also two new exhibits inspired by popular children’s characters — a genie that stands 15 metres tall and a magic flying carpet.

These new attractions join the garden’s existing displays, such as the record-breaking Emirates A380; the world’s tallest topiary structure forming the shape of Mickey Mouse; a giant floral teddy bear, and more.
