Visitors will be welcomed by some of the most popular and prominent cartoon characters at the main entrance and be treated to skillfully designed 3D shapes of life-size animals.
Previous years have witnessed an array of original designs as well as record-breaking attractions, which will continue to act as some of the most extravagant displays. These include the Emirates A380, which earned Dubai Miracle Garden a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title in 2016 for featuring ‘The world’s largest floral structure forming the shape of A380’ and an 18-metre floral structure of Mickey Mouse also achieving a Guinness World Record for “Tallest Topiary Structure (Supported)” in February 2018.
