MOTIONGATE™ Park Dubai + Free Global Village (Any Day) Tickets

Plan 4–6 hours at Global Village Dubai for the pavilions, food and a show or two. The park opens at 16:00 daily, so families with small children should come early, between 16:00 and 19:00, for the kids' shows. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, and evenings get cool from November to February.

Yes. Food and shopping are the main reasons people go to Global Village. Pavilions sell crafts, spices, sweets, textiles and souvenirs from their countries, and the food zones serve street food and world cuisines. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, so come hungry and bring cash or cards for the stalls.

No. Global Village is a seasonal park. Season 31 opened on 14 October 2026 and runs until May 2027. It is open Sunday to Wednesday 16:00–24:00, and Thursday to Saturday and public holidays 16:00–01:00. Tuesdays (except public holidays) are for families, couples and ladies only.

Global Village is a seasonal multicultural park where you can 'travel' the world in one evening: 90+ cultures, country pavilions, world cuisines and live shows from many countries. It is the only theme park in the world to hold the British Safety Council's Sword of Honour, and it is free for children under 3 and seniors 65+.

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.

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.
