Global Village opened its 31st season at 6pm on 14 October 2026. The park on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road will stay open until May 2027, a season of over seven months, although organisers have not yet set a closing date. The season theme is "A More Wonderful World".
Entry costs Dh25 on weekdays and Dh30 at weekends and on public holidays. Prices are the same as last season with one change: Sunday is now billed as a weekend day, so the higher rate applies from Friday to Sunday. Tickets are sold at the gates as well as through the park's own website and app. Children under three, visitors aged 65 and over and People of Determination usually get in free.
From Sunday to Wednesday the park opens from 4pm to midnight. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and public holidays it closes at 1am.
New this season
Tokyo Rush, a roller coaster with a loop and tight turns, will open later in the season. No date has been given. The entertainment schedule adds two anchor shows, Bollywood Idol and Bank Heist, plus a stunt production, Fast Live 2: The Police Strikes Back. Pavilions for Sri Lanka and for Russia and Azerbaijan have had a refresh, and Gardens of the World returns with new design touches. New restaurants include Chicking, Hawawshi Al Rabie, Robo Al Sham and Trabzon Turkish Restaurant. For the first time children get a passport of their own to collect pavilion stamps; its price is still to be announced.
Drivers in the VIP car park can now pay at self-service machines without waiting until the exit. Without a VIP pack that zone costs Dh200 a day. Other paid zones range from Dh75 to Dh120, and free parking is still available. A WhatsApp chatbot will handle visitor questions.
What it means for you
Planning a Sunday visit means paying Dh30 at the gate or online. The season's VIP packs, sold from 21 September through the Coca-Cola Arena website, are already gone.
Khaleej Times reported the prices and opening hours, and Gulf News listed the new attractions.
