1. IMG Worlds of Adventure is the world’s largest indoor theme park
There’s nothing Dubai loves more than breaking records. Take the Burj Khalifa, for example. The world’s tallest building, standing at 2,722 feet tall – that’s over half a mile tall – can be found in this city in the UAE.
And their theme parks are no different! IMG Worlds of Adventure is the largest indoor theme park in the world, spanning over 1.5 million square feet. There’s plenty to keep you entertained during your visit, and the Dubai amusement park has seven exciting adventure zones to explore:
Zone | Description |
MARVEL | Attractions for thrill-seekers based on iconic MARVEL Super Heroes. |
Lost Valley | Dinosaurs come back to life in this prehistoric world. |
Cartoon Network | Rides and attractions themed around your favourite MARVEL characters. |
IMG Boulevard | Shopping, dining, interactive attractions, and entertainment. |
The Haunted Town | Encounter ghoulish characters against a spooky backdrop of changing corridors and scenery. |
IMG Kids Zone | An inflatable world of soft play fun, perfect for smaller children. |
Novo Cinemas | The Middle East’s largest cinema network with a range of experiences including 2D, 3D, MX4D, IMAX with Laser, and 7-Star VIP suites. |
Unlike most theme parks, IMG Worlds of Adventure is a temperature-controlled environment that’s entirely inside, which means you’ll be able to enjoy a welcome break from the Dubai heat while you’re there. With temperatures often topping 40°C in Dubai, it’s an excellent option for a family day out that’s a little cooler.
2. You can meet your favourite Cartoon Network and Marvel characters
In the themed adventure zones, you’ll find some of your favourite Cartoon Network and MARVEL characters. As soon as you step into MARVEL, you’ll be immersed into the world of the MARVEL Super Heroes.
Get up close to the likes of Spider-Man, The Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man. Thrill seekers will love the exhilarating Thor Thunder Spin ride, where gravity keeps you pinned to your seat. You can also see The Hulk in 3D, fly through the city with your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, and dine in Tony Stark’s very own restaurant.
Tony’s Skydeck, on the upper floors of the Avengers Tower, serves a range of tasty dishes, including steak and seafood. Enjoy views over the city as you take a break from the rides and attractions. You can even book the Chef’s Table for a true VIP experience.
Head to the Cartoon Network Zone to find the Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, and Lazy Town characters. There are plenty of attractions here to keep you busy too. Prepare to battle against Mojo Jojo’s evil robot creation with the Powerpuff Girls by your side on Robot Rampage and embark on an epic multi-sensory adventure with Ben10 on Ben10 5D Hero Time.
3. IMG Worlds of Adventure isn’t just for children
You might be thinking that in a place filled with cartoon characters, you might struggle to find things for adults to do at IMG Worlds of Adventure, but this is definitely not the case. There are plenty of big thrills to keep you entertained, top-notch dining experiences, and an extensive range of retail outlets.
Plus, we guarantee that when you come face to face with your favourite childhood characters, you won’t be able to hide your excitement. So make sure you’ve got your camera handy for all those selfies!
There are lots of rides for thrill-seekers to enjoy, including:
- Spider-Man Doc Ock’s Revenge: This roller coaster will get your adrenaline levels soaring as you swing through the city, trying to stop Doctor Octopus from stealing the energy supply
- Hulk Epsilon Base 3D: This 360-degree, fully immersive viewing experience will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish
- The Velociraptor: This coaster has plenty of twists, turns, and surprise loops. Prepare to race through prehistoric jungles and the Dubai desert as you reach speeds of up to 100km per hour in just 2.5 seconds!
- The Powerpuff Girls Mojo Jojo’s Robot Rampage: Much scarier than the name might suggest, this is an air race ride that spins around and goes upside down, too. If you’re all about the rides, then make sure you don’t miss this one
- Thor Thunder Spin: You’ll be spun around, moved up and down, and squirted with water jets while Thor attempts to rescue you from Loki’s clutches
- Predator: This roller coaster has got one of the sharpest drop tracks in the world at 90 degrees…yes, that is vertical!
Also, check into the Haunted Hotel, which is only suitable for guests aged 15 and up. Customer service is not top of the agenda at this hotel, where you’ll find zombies, ghosts, and some unexpected surprises…or should we say shocks! This is scary immersive entertainment and is not for the faint-hearted.
4. IMG Worlds of Adventure is home to the ultimate movie experience
Novo Cinemas brings visitors to IMG Worlds of Adventure the ultimate movie experience. The theme park boasts a 12-screen multiplex cinema offering 7-star comfort and incredible technology, including IMAX and MX4D.
You’ll be able to sit back and relax in style as the action unfolds before your eyes. After watching a blockbuster movie, head inside the theme park to meet the big-screen characters in real life.
5. There are 37 food and beverage outlets
Another thing that makes IMG Worlds of Adventure one of the best theme parks in Dubai is its huge range of places to get food and drinks. There is so much to choose from when it comes to dining and you’ll never go hungry here.
A talented team of chefs use only the freshest ingredients to prepare delicious meals served in amazing interactive surroundings. Sample mouth-watering Arabic cuisine at Flavours of Arabia, a delicious Indian buffet at Spice Valley, and wood-fired pizza and pasta at Mama Scano’s of Yancy Street.
Actual kids and big kids alike will love dining inside the themed restaurants. You can dine alongside Cartoon Network characters at CN Feast or hang out with Ben10 at Mr. Smoothy – an American-style diner with juicy burgers.
If you just want to grab something on the go, there are several themed food stations throughout the park, offering tasty quick-service meals like churros, pretzels, hot dogs, fruit, ice cream, and crepes.
