IMG Worlds of Adventure Tickets, Timings, Rides and Height Limits

Last reviewed: November 14, 2026

IMG Worlds of Adventure is Dubai's large indoor theme park, with six zones under one air-conditioned roof. It opens at 12pm every day and closes at 10pm from Sunday to Thursday and at 11pm on Friday and Saturday. The park's own general admission ticket for a set date is listed at AED 365, and children shorter than 1.05 m enter free.

Height matters more than age here. Many of the big rides need guests to be 1.20 m to 1.40 m tall, so it is worth measuring children before you book. This guide covers ticket prices, timings, the six zones, ride height limits and practical tips for a full day at IMG Worlds.

IMG Worlds Tickets and Timings: Quick Answer

Hours and rules are from the official IMG Worlds park rules. Prices can change, so check the price for your date before you go.

IMG Worlds Ticket Prices

A standard ticket gives you entry to the park and access to the rides and attractions included in your ticket. IMG Worlds lists its own general admission ticket for a fixed date at AED 365. You will also see lower prices from resellers and occasional offers, often with conditions such as fixed dates or limited validity, so read the terms before you buy.

Children under 1.05 m enter free. Everyone else needs a ticket, and the height of each guest decides which rides they can use.

Some things are not covered by a standard ticket:

• IMG Kids Zone: a separate play area for younger children, charged on top of entry.
• Fast-Track: shorter waits at eligible rides, sold as an upgrade.
• The Haunted Hotel: a walk-through horror attraction for guests aged 15 and over, which can carry an extra charge.
• Food, lockers and souvenirs.

Booking through Ganzay

IMG Worlds tickets on Ganzay start from AED 365 at the time of writing. You can choose standard entry or entry with Fast-Track. These tickets are non-refundable, so confirm your date first. If you are unsure whether Fast-Track is worth paying for, read our guide to IMG Worlds Fast-Track vs general admission.

IMG Worlds Timings

The park opens at 12pm every day. It closes at 10pm from Sunday to Thursday and at 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Ride queues close shortly before the park closes, so do not plan to join a long queue in the last half hour.

Opening hours can change during Ramadan, public holidays and school holidays. Check the official website a day or two before your visit.

IMG Worlds Rides and Height Limits

IMG Worlds sets ride rules by height, not age. These minimum heights come from Bloomtopia's ride list, checked in November 2026. Some rides let shorter children ride with an adult.

Height limits can change, and some rides also have health, footwear or safety rules. Always check the sign at each ride entrance before you queue.

What this means for families

• Under 1.05 m: free entry, but very few rides. The Kids Zone and character shows suit this group best.
• 1.05 m to 1.20 m: some family rides and a few headline rides with an adult.
• 1.30 m and over: almost every ride, including the Velociraptor.

How to Get to IMG Worlds

IMG Worlds is at City of Arabia on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), close to Global Village. There is no metro station nearby.

• Taxi: the easiest option. Expect about 20 to 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai outside rush hour.
• Car: parking is free, and valet parking is available for a fee.
• Bus: during the Global Village season, RTA Global Village buses run to the area. From Global Village, take a short taxi to IMG Worlds.

Tips for a Better Day

• Arrive at 12pm. Ride the Velociraptor and other headline rides first, before queues build.
• Visit Monday to Thursday. Weekends and school holidays are much busier.
• Measure children at home. It avoids disappointment at ride entrances.
• Bring a small bag. Some rides need loose items stored, and lockers cost extra.
• No outside food. Eat before you arrive or budget for food inside the park.
• Pair it with Global Village. Global Village opens at 4pm nearby, so you can spend the afternoon at IMG Worlds and the evening at Global Village.

Is IMG Worlds Worth It?

IMG Worlds is a strong choice for a full indoor day, especially between May and September when outdoor parks get very hot. Teenagers and adults who like roller coasters get the most value, because the biggest rides need guests to be 1.20 m to 1.40 m tall.

Families with younger children should check heights first. If most of your group is under 1.20 m, a smaller indoor attraction such as the Dubai Butterfly Garden may give better value for the time you have. For more ideas, browse things to do in Dubai.
