IMG Worlds of Adventure
One of the world’s largest indoor theme parks, with Marvel and Cartoon Network zones and a dinosaur land — fully air-conditioned all year.
About IMG Worlds of Adventure
IMG Worlds of Adventure is a vast indoor theme park on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, about 25–35 minutes from Downtown Dubai by car. Everything is under one air-conditioned roof, which makes it one of the best days out in Dubai when it is too hot to be outside.
The park is split into themed zones. Marvel brings superhero rides and characters, Cartoon Network has gentler rides for younger children, and Lost Valley is full of life-size dinosaurs and some of the biggest coasters in the park. There is also a haunted hotel walk-through for those who like a scare.
Most visitors spend four to six hours here. Plan a rough route before you go: start with the big rides while queues are short, then slow down with shows and family rides in the afternoon.
