IMG Worlds of Adventure

Singular and one-of-its-kind, the IMG Worlds of Adventure is the definitive theme park one can dream of. An amusement park that sprawls over a land of 1.5 million square feet, the IMG Worlds of Adventure is the world’s largest indoor theme park - it is as big as 28 football fields! That’s massive, isn’t it? The theme park is divided into four fantasy-filled zones dedicated to Marvel Comics, Cartoon Network, dinosaurs and IMG Boulevard, an original concept from the IMG group. Kids and adults alike, the IMG Worlds of Adventure is sure to take you to another level of euphoria, with its huge array of roller coasters, thrill rides and exciting attractions.

Green Planet

Boasting of a plethora of worlds-firsts, Dubai is, yet again, on a path to set a world record. Green Planet is Dubai’s first indoor tropical rainforest. Green Planet has simulated a sustainable ecosystem for over 3,000 species of plants, animals and birds. It also embodies a huge trunk whose branches have tropical flora and fauna, which is set to be the world’s largest fabricated, life-sustaining tree. The rainforest is divided into four levels - Canopy, Midstory, Forest Floor and Flooded Rainforest. An edutaining outing, Green Planet provides you with interactive learning experiences.

Musandam, Oman

Musandam is perched on the upper tip of UAE encircled by the Strait of Hormuz. Over the parched and thirsty land of Middle East, Musandam’s wadis are a vivid concoction of turquoise and olive. Akin to an oasis, Musandam, with its rugged coastline and lucid water, offers you a legit escape from the scrupulous assembly of Dubai. Its separation from the rest of Oman and easy accessibility from the UAE makes for a perfect getaway from Dubai. One whole day here, and you’ll be rejuvenated for weeks to come. You can indulge in activities like swimming, fishing, snorkelling, sailing and banana boat riding, all set against the craggy fjords of Musandam.

Ski Dubai

Who said Dubai was all desert? Situated in the heart of Mall of the Emirates, a barren desert comes to life in Ski Dubai. Snowmen, ice castles, penguins, tube rides, chairlift rides, all offer an experience akin to Switzerland. The snow park spread over 3,000 metres gives you a chance to ski in the desert and watch the penguin parade. It has an alpine cafe which is ideal for your caffeine fix.

Dubai Parks and Resorts

Spanning over an immense stretch of 25 million square feet, Dubai Parks and Resorts houses three parks designed with unique and remarkable themes - Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai and Legoland Dubai. A world of Hollywood, Bollywood and Legos, all comes to life out here, in this labyrinth of a theme park. The Motiongate Dubai is a Hollywood junkie’s dream come true - Shrek, Ghostbusters, Smurfs, How to Train Your Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, The Hunger Games, it has everything! Each zone within the Bollywood Parks Dubai has been named after a successful Bollywood film - Lagaan, Sholay, Dabangg, Krrish and Don. The Legoland Dubai boasts of over 40 Lego-themed rides and has 15,000 Lego models made from 60 million Lego bricks. The fun doesn’t end here. There’s a Legoland Water Park which is equipped with 20 Lego-themed water slides and attractions. Needless to say that Dubai Parks and Resorts requires a couple of days to explore, enjoy and indulge.
