IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai – Record Breaking Fun and Adventure

Whether you are travelling to Dubai on your own, or whether you intend booking one of our epic Egypt and Dubai tours, IMG Worlds of Adventure is definitely a venue worth visiting if you are looking for some non-stop fun and excitement.

What is IMG Worlds of Adventure?

IMG Worlds of Adventure is essentially a themed amusement park, but it is certainly nothing like your average theme park. To begin with, IMG Worlds of Adventure is the largest indoor theme park in the world, covering an area of around 1.5 million square feet. The park is so immense that it can comfortably welcome up to 20,000 visitors a day. It is also a temperature controlled park, meaning that indoor temperatures are always pleasantly cool.

IMG Worlds of Adventure has a total of 14 themed rides, along with a 12-screen cinema, and an impressive number of shops, restaurant, cafes, and etc. The park was originally scheduled to open in 2014 but there were a number of delays, and as a result, it only opened in 2016 with a final price tag of more than Dh3.6 billion. Not surprisingly, the venue has become one of the top attractions in Dubai.

IMG Boulevard Zone

To a certain extent, one could describe the IMG Boulevard zone as being similar to the arrivals hall at an airport, although it is not quite the same. However, this zone is essentially here to welcome visitors, and to help visitors get set up for the other three zones at IMG Worlds of Adventure.

The IMG Boulevard zone is also home to one attraction, The Haunted Hotel. You will also find a good selection of shops and restaurants in this zone, including places such as Popcorn Factory; Boulevard Gourmet; Samosa House; Flavors of Arabia; Haunted Hotel Store, and more.

Useful Tips and Information

As is to be expected at a venue such as this one, it can get very busy on weekend and during public holidays. Fortunately, its sheer size means that even on particularly busy days, the venue never feels as if it is overcrowded. Nonetheless, large crowds can result in long queue at some of the rides. If you wish to avoid such queues, we would recommend that you visit IMG Worlds of Adventure during the week.

This amazing venue is also very conveniently located within the City of Arabia, a US$20 billion residential, commercial and entertainment project in Dubai. While parts of the City of Arabia are still being built, the area will eventually be a self-restrained community or mini-city in which the use of cars will be severely restricted.

Instead of cars, residents and visitors will travel around on the city’s own independent monorail system that will ferry people to the city from a designated Dubai Metro Station. The monorail system will also be the primary mode of transport within the City of Arabia.

Admission costs AED 245 (about $66) for all persons who are taller than 1.05 meters, while children below this height get in free of charge. Tickets grant you unlimited access to all the attractions at IMG Worlds of Adventure, so we recommend that you set aside at least four or five hours for visiting this venue, or even longer if you are traveling with young teens and/or thrill seekers.
