MOTIONGATE™ Park + Dubai Frame (General Admission) Tickets

Outside food and drinks are not allowed inside the Dubai Frame, but a café with refreshments is available at the Sky Deck level. For a full meal, plan to eat before or after your visit. Zabeel Park around the Frame is a good place for a walk.

Plan about 1–2 hours at the Dubai Frame: the Past gallery, the lift to the Sky Deck, time on the glass bridge and the Future gallery. Allow extra time at weekends, when it is busiest, or if you want to walk in Zabeel Park afterwards.

It depends on your group. IMG Worlds of Adventure is fully indoors, with MARVEL, Cartoon Network and dinosaur zones, so it suits hot days and superhero fans. MOTIONGATE Dubai at Dubai Parks and Resorts is based on Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks Animation and Lionsgate films, with more outdoor walking between zones.

The Dubai Frame is a 150 m tall, picture frame–shaped landmark in Zabeel Park that links old and new Dubai. From the Sky Deck at the top you see Deira and Bur Dubai on one side and the Downtown skyline on the other, and you can walk across a glass floor. Galleries cover the city's past and imagine its future.

Yes. With a ticket you go inside the Dubai Frame: walk through a gallery on Dubai's past, ride the lift to the Sky Deck at the top, cross the glass bridge and visit a gallery imagining the city's future. Large bags and strollers must be left at the Gate 4 counter.

The Dubai Frame is 150 metres tall. Its Sky Deck spans the top of the frame, with 360° views of Deira and Bur Dubai on one side and Downtown Dubai on the other, and a glass floor in the middle where you can look straight down.

The nearest Dubai Metro station to the Dubai Frame is Max (formerly Al Jafiliya) on the Red Line, about a 10–15-minute walk from Zabeel Park Gate 4, where the Frame entrance is. Taxis can drop you directly at Gate 4.

Yes, for most visitors. Going up the Dubai Frame gives you 360° views of old and new Dubai from the Sky Deck, a glass-floor walk and short galleries on the city's past and future, all in about 1–2 hours. It is a good first-trip stop and suits families, since children under 3 enter free.

No. The Dubai Frame is in Zabeel Park, but going inside and up to the Sky Deck needs a ticket. Entry is free for children under 3 and for People of Determination with up to two companions, who collect companion tickets at the counter. You can see and photograph the outside of the Frame from the park.

Book Dubai Frame tickets online in advance, especially for weekends; you receive an e-ticket with a barcode to show at the entrance. Tickets are also sold at the main park entrance, on the official website and in the Dubai Frame app. Tickets are valid only for the booked date.

A MOTIONGATE Dubai ticket gives full-day entry to the theme park's five zones: Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, Lionsgate, Smurfs Village and Studio Central, with access to its rides, attractions and live shows. Food, drinks and personal expenses are not included. Combo tickets may add other attractions, so check your ticket's inclusions.

Some MOTIONGATE Dubai tickets include a free shuttle from designated pick-up points; check whether your ticket lists it and see the shuttle schedule before you travel. Otherwise, take a taxi or drive to Dubai Parks and Resorts, where MOTIONGATE is located.

Parts of MOTIONGATE Dubai are indoors: the whole DreamWorks Animation zone is under cover. Outdoor rides may pause during rain or strong wind for safety, and park hours are subject to change, so check the official website on the day of your visit.

The Dubai Frame is open every day from 8:00 to 21:00, including weekends and public holidays, according to its official website. Hours may change during Ramadan and on holidays. Arrive 10–15 minutes before your booked time, and book ahead for weekends, which are the busiest days.

Top thrill rides at MOTIONGATE Dubai include John Wick: Open Contract, The Hunger Games: Capitol Bullet Train, Zombieland Blast-Off and Ghostbusters: Battle for New York. Families enjoy Dragon Gliders, Shrek's Merry Fairy Tale Journey, Madagascar Mad Pursuit and Kung Fu Panda: Unstoppable Awesomeness in the indoor DreamWorks zone. Height limits apply on some rides.

No. Outside food and drinks are not allowed at MOTIONGATE Dubai. The exceptions are food needed for medical reasons, medically indicated supplements, and baby food or formula. Dining venues are spread across the themed zones, so you can eat inside the park. Food and drinks are not included in the ticket.
