The world’s largest indoor theme park has opened in Dubai, setting another record for the UAE city.

IMG Worlds of Adventure is the first international mega-themed park to open in Dubai and will redefine the modern theme park experience since it is unprecedented in size and offering, according the owners, the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group.

The park, managed by IMG Worlds, spans 1.5 million square feet, equivalent to 28 football fields.

IMG Worlds of Adventure is the first theme park to feature international brands Marvel and Cartoon Network, in addition to two proprietary brands, IMG Boulevard and Lost Valley – Dinosaur Adventure. Providing a truly unforgettable and immersive experience, the park includes an array of roller coasters and attractions, complemented by 28 F&B offerings and 25 retail outlets. 

Ilyas Galadari and Mustafa Galadari said the creation of IMG Worlds of Adventure was the “realisation of a shared childhood dream”. 

“Today is a key milestone in Dubai’s rich history and we are proud to be a part of it,” they said.

Dubai is also home to the world’s tallest building, the 828-m-high Burj Khalifa, the world's largest man-made islands, and an indoor skiing slope in a mall.

Lennard Otto, Chief Executive Officer of IMG Worlds of Adventure, said the park expects to host over 4.5 million people in its first year of operation.

Tickets are available online at www.IMGworlds.com with adult ticket prices set at AED 300 ($81) and children at AED250 ($68) for an all-day adventure offering access to over 20 rides and attractions, including live shows and a 5D cinema experience.

A 12-screen Novo Cinema will open soon.
