How to get to Nature Escapes

Valet parking is available on the day for AED 25.
Nature Fair tickets and prices
You don’t need to book in advance. Tickets are sold only at the entrance on the day, not online.
| Item | Price |
| Adult entry | AED 25 |
| Children under one | Free |
| Workshops and activities | Nominal fee per activity |

Workshop spots are limited, so arriving early gives you the best chance of joining the sessions you want.
Things to do at The Nature Fair
With more than 50 activities and workshops on the day, there’s enough to fill a full morning or afternoon.
Nature workshops for kids and adults
All the workshops follow a nature theme, and they’re designed for children as well as grown-ups. Each one carries a small fee, paid separately from your entry ticket.
Nature awareness programmes
Alongside the workshops, the fair runs nature awareness programmes that help visitors, especially younger ones, learn more about the natural world around them.
Live performances and local talent
Live performances run throughout the day, giving local performers a stage and giving you a reason to sit back on the grass for a while.
Homegrown businesses
Small makers and local brands set up stalls across the venue, so it’s a good place to discover independent products you won’t find in the malls.
Food and drink
Food and drinks are available all day, so you can stay from opening to close without leaving the venue.
