The first-ever eco-friendly birthday party packages were started here in the UAE with our Blow Bubbles, not Balloons initiative. all party decorations are reusable with no single use plastics. Guests are provided with biodegradable bags at the retail shop. There are many more projects on the horizon with a composting program to recycle animal food waste into fertilizer for our biodome launching this summer!
Join us in committing to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We can all do our part to help the environment through small daily acts at home! (Insert info from the attached sign, "recycle").For every visitor that comes through our doors, you will receive a small gift at the entrance. It is an envelope of seeds with instructions on how to plant it. This is a fun activity for the family and a small reminder to give back to the environment around you however you can.
