Best Time to Visit
Best time: October to April when Dubai's weather is mild and outdoor parks are comfortable. Avoid the hottest months (June–August) unless you prefer water attractions and shorter queues.
Weather Conditions
Dubai has a hot desert climate: mild winters (Dec–Feb) with daytime temperatures around 20–30°C (68–86°F), and very hot summers (Jun–Aug) often exceeding 40°C (104°F). Evenings can be cooler in winter.
Entry Fees & Permits
Tickets: Multiple options — single-park day tickets, two-park or multi-park passes, and annual passes. Prices vary by season and promotions; discounts often available online. Typical opening hours are roughly 10:00–19:00, but hours vary by park and season (evening events may extend hours). Check the official Dubai Parks and Resorts website for current pricing and opening times before visiting.
Accessibility
Location & transport: Located in Jebel Ali area of Dubai. Nearest airport: Dubai International Airport (DXB) ~40–50 minutes by car depending on traffic; Al Maktoum International (DWC) is closer (~20–30 minutes). Public transport options are limited — best reached by taxi or private car. The destination offers on-site parking. The parks are wheelchair accessible with services for guests with disabilities; check guest services for specifics.
Recommended Duration
Plan 1 full day per major park (Motiongate, Bollywood Parks, LEGOLAND) — a 2–3 day visit covers highlights comfortably; add extra time for the water park and relaxed dining in Riverland. Families with young children may want to stay at Lapita hotel for two to three nights.
Clothing & Gear Tips
Wear light, breathable clothing, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Bring swimwear and water shoes for LEGOLAND Water Park. Carry a hat and refillable water bottle. For Ramadan or cultural sensitivity, dress modestly in public areas outside the parks if visiting nearby malls or neighborhoods.
Local Food & Souvenirs
Riverland and the parks offer a wide range of international and regional cuisines — try Emirati-inspired dishes at themed restaurants and popular international chains. Souvenirs include park-branded merchandise, LEGO sets at LEGOLAND stores, Bollywood memorabilia, and themed apparel or toys. Duty-free shopping in Dubai can offer additional options outside the resort.
