IMG Worlds ticket prices explained
| Ticket | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| General admission at the gate | About AED 365 | All rides and attractions for the day |
| General admission online | Usually AED 195 to AED 255 | The same ticket, for a fixed date |
| Children up to 1.05 m | Free | Measured at the entrance |
| Fast Track add-on | From about AED 132 | Skip the queue: three rides, unlimited rides, or unlimited rides plus the Haunted Hotel |
| Annual pass | Sold by the park | Unlimited visits for a year; worth it for residents who go three or more times |
- No child or adult price. Price depends on height, not age: anyone over 1.05 m pays the full ticket, and anyone up to 1.05 m is free.
- Buy online. The park’s official website and authorised sellers regularly sell tickets well below the gate price, often with 30 to 40 percent off. Tickets are for a fixed date and cannot be refunded, changed or resold.
- Resident offers. The park has run UAE resident pricing and annual passes in the past, and membership schemes such as Fazaa have offered tickets from about AED 129. Residents should check current offers and bring their resident ID if they buy a resident ticket.
- Bring photo ID. Everyone should carry valid photo ID, and teenagers need it for the Haunted Hotel.
Is Fast Track worth it? On weekdays outside school holidays, usually not: most queues are short. On Friday and Saturday evenings, public holidays and in the summer, when the indoor park is at its busiest, an unlimited Fast Track can save hours on Velociraptor, Spider-Man and the Avengers rides.

About IMG Worlds of Adventure
IMG Worlds of Adventure opened on 31 August 2016 in City of Arabia, beside Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Built by the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group, it covers about 1.5 million square feet under one roof and is billed as the world’s largest temperature-controlled indoor theme park, with capacity for more than 20,000 guests a day.
Getting there
The park is on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) in Dubailand, about 25 minutes by car from Downtown Dubai and close to Global Village, which makes an easy pairing in winter: IMG in the afternoon, Global Village in the evening. Taxis drop off at the main entrance.
