There’s something magical about being at an amusement park. The smell of the cotton candy, excited kids running around, thrill-seekers standing in line to board the ‘scariest’ ride in the park and a whole day of assured screams and fun. Gone are the days when amusement parks would consist of a few roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, a musical carousel and a cotton candy station.
The sprawling Dubai Parks and Resorts feature four in-built amusement parks that cater to adrenaline addicts, thrill-seekers, bright-eyed holidaymakers and families with kids looking to have a fun day out in the sun.
The Dubai Parks and Resorts house MOTIONGATE™ Dubai, LEGOLAND® Dubai, LEGOLAND® Water Park and BOLLYWOOD PARKS™ Dubai that feature state-of-the-art rides that’ll transform anyone into an excited kid.
Dedicated movie buffs and kids would adore MOTIONGATE™ Dubai which has entertainment from Hollywood studios like DreamWorks, Columbia Pictures and Lionsgate. Meet life-sized characters you’ve only seen on TV or take a ride that’ll immerse you into a world made out of pure imagination.
