Dubai is home to some of the world’s finest theme parks that are perfect for people of all ages. Elevated by striking interior, world-class roller coasters and a number of entertainment options, each destination in this segment are far from ordinary and a must-visit! 

IMG Worlds of Adventure 

With a staggering area of 1.5 million square feet, this is Dubai’s largest indoor theme park. It is divided into four zones: Cartoon Network, Marvel, IMG Boulevard and Lost Valley Dinosaur Adventure. Filled with mind-boggling rides, the popular activities at the park include Velociraptor ride, Hulk Epsilon Base 3D and Avengers Fight of the Quinjets. What’s more?

 Aquaventure Waterpark  

Located within Atlantis, The Palm—this is a bucket-list worthy theme park for adventure enthusiasts and novices alike.

Other incredible rides at the park include Shark Attack and Zoomerango.

Near to the Burj Al Arab in Jumeirah is Wild Wadi Waterpark is a must-visit destination for all thrill-seekers. The theme of this park revolves around Juha, a popular character in Arabian Folklore.
