If you are checking the Dubai Crocodile Park ticket price for 2026, the current official entry fee is AED 95 for adults and AED 75 for children.
Children below 3 years old can enter free when accompanied by an adult aged over 16 who holds a valid ticket. The park is located on Tripoli Street in Mushrif and is home to around 250 Nile crocodiles, along with a Natural History Museum and an African lake themed aquarium.
There is one important update before planning your visit. Dubai Crocodile Park is temporarily closed from 15 June to 14 September 2026 for scheduled maintenance. If you are travelling during this period, wait until the park confirms reopening before going.
This guide covers the latest ticket prices, child entry rules, what admission includes, opening hours, crocodile encounters and practical tips for planning your visit.

Before booking, check the latest Dubai Crocodile Park ticket price directly on the official ticket page, especially if you are visiting after the September reopening.
Is Dubai Crocodile Park Open Right Now?
As of 28 August 2026, no.
The official ticket page states that Dubai Crocodile Park is temporarily closed from 15 June 2026 to 14 September 2026.
This is important because some third party travel pages still describe the attraction as open every day throughout the year.
The scheduled maintenance period means visitors should currently plan for a visit after 14 September, subject to the park reopening as planned.
Dubai Crocodile Park Opening Hours
The park’s normal advertised hours are:
10:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily
The official website lists these hours for Monday through Sunday and says tickets can normally be purchased online or at the gate.
Because the park is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance, check the opening status again before travelling after 14 September.
What Does the Dubai Crocodile Park Ticket Include?
The standard admission ticket gives visitors access to the main crocodile park, Natural History Museum and aquarium.
Dubai Crocodile Park covers around 20,000 square metres and is home to approximately 250 Nile crocodiles. Its landscaped habitat includes lakes, waterfalls, islands and sandbanks designed to resemble a more natural environment.
Crocodile Park
The outdoor section allows visitors to see Nile crocodiles from several viewing points.
Some adult crocodiles can reach around 5 metres in length, making this the main attraction for most visitors.
Natural History Museum
The museum explores approximately 200 million years of crocodilian history.
It explains how crocodilians evolved and how their adaptations helped them survive major changes in the Earth’s environment.
Crocodile Aquarium
The aquarium offers an underwater perspective that is very different from seeing crocodiles resting beside the outdoor lakes.
Visitors can observe how these animals move and behave beneath the water.
These three areas make the AED 95 adult ticket more than simple access to an animal enclosure.
Baby Crocodile Encounter
One of the most interesting included experiences is the Baby Crocodile Encounter.
The official park website currently lists sessions every day at:
11:30 AM
and
4:30 PM
If this experience is important to your family, plan your arrival around one of these times rather than arriving randomly.
Schedules can change, particularly after maintenance or during special events, so confirm the session time when you enter.
Crocodile Feeding Experience
Crocodile feeding is another popular reason to time your visit carefully.
Current Visit Dubai information lists the Crocodile Feeding Experience at 5:30 PM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the summer schedule.
Because feeding schedules can vary by season, check the timing on your actual visit date.
If you want to see a feeding session, arriving several hours before closing gives you enough time to explore the museum and aquarium first.
Are Children Free at Dubai Crocodile Park?
Children below 3 years old currently receive free admission.
The park’s official terms say they must be accompanied by an adult aged over 16 with a valid ticket. It also says children under 12 cannot enter unless accompanied by someone aged 16 or above.
For current paid admission, Visit Dubai lists:
Children aged 3 to 11: AED 75
Adults aged 12 and above: AED 95
If you see different age categories on an old reseller page, confirm the conditions before paying.
Is There a Family Ticket?
Be cautious here.
Some third party guides currently advertise a family package for two adults and two children at AED 300. However, I could not verify that package on the park’s current official ticket page.
The official booking information clearly displays individual adult and child prices.
Unless a family offer appears on the official booking page for your visit date, calculate your cost using the standard individual prices.
For example, using the current standard rates:
Two adults cost AED 190.
Two children cost AED 150.
That makes the regular total AED 340 before any genuine promotion or discount.
Can You Buy Tickets Online?
Yes.
Dubai Crocodile Park’s current website states that visitors can normally book online or buy tickets at the gate.
This corrects older online information claiming tickets are only available at the entrance.
The official ticket page also states that tickets are valid for 14 days from the selected visit date.
Always read the terms before paying because the park says its tickets are non transferable, non refundable and non exchangeable.
Are Discounted Tickets Available?
Discounts sometimes exist, but they may have specific eligibility requirements.
For example, the park’s current promotions page advertises 20% off for ESAAD Card holders.
Other third party sellers may also advertise discounted prices.
A discounted ticket is not automatically better. Check whether it has restrictions, a fixed date, advance booking requirements or different refund conditions.
For most travellers, the official AED 95 adult and AED 75 child prices are the safest baseline for budgeting.
Where Is Dubai Crocodile Park?
Dubai Crocodile Park is located on Tripoli Street, Mushrif, Dubai, close to Mushrif Park.
There is no Metro station directly at the attraction.
If you are visiting several wildlife attractions during your Dubai trip, our Dubai Safari Park nearest Metro station guide can help you plan another family wildlife day using Dubai public transport.
For Crocodile Park itself, a taxi or private car is generally the simplest option, particularly for families.
Free parking is available for park guests according to the park’s visitor information.
How Long Should You Spend at Dubai Crocodile Park?
For most visitors, around 1.5 to 2.5 hours is a reasonable amount of time.
If you simply walk through the main enclosures, your visit can be shorter.
If you want to explore the Natural History Museum, spend time at the aquarium, attend a Baby Crocodile Encounter and wait for a feeding session, allow more time.
The attraction is relatively compact compared with Dubai Safari Park, so it works well as a half day family activity.
Is Dubai Crocodile Park Worth AED 95?
For visitors interested in wildlife, reptiles and educational family attractions, there is good value in what is included.
The park contains around 250 Nile crocodiles, a large landscaped habitat, a museum and an aquarium. The Baby Crocodile Encounter adds an interactive element to the visit.
It is particularly suitable for families with children who are interested in animals.
However, it is a specialised attraction. Someone expecting a huge general zoo with many different animal species would be better served by a broader wildlife park.

Important Visitor Rules
Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside Dubai Crocodile Park.
Children below 12 must be accompanied by someone aged 16 or above.
Only wheelchairs, baby strollers and mobility scooters are permitted as transport devices inside the park.
Visitors must also stay behind barriers and must not climb fences, walls or safety structures.
