First of All, Let me say by saying dont deter yourself any experiences just by reading reviews. Secondly, whatever u read online is to be taken with a grain of salt. Now on to the park, yes there is graffiti everywhere but strict rules r implemented now with warnings and CCTV cameras. The park was really clean and tidy and has some of the best rides in UAE! Madagascar, Now u See me, Capitol Bullet Train and so many more rides for the whole family! Dreamworks is another great immersive experience where u feel u entered a completely new park inside of motiongate. Queue times were bare minimum and max 15-20 mins. All rides were amaaazing thrilling too much fun and well maintained! John Wick is closed and Zombie Blast off goes out of service temporarily. Overall having visited alll the Theme Parks in UAE i rate Sea World and Motion Gate in the Top 3 Theme Parks to Visit. Dont hesitate and go out and have a great day with ur family in the winter season. Only Gripe is they should keep it open atleast until 10PM.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Full Review) This park does not ease you in it jumps straight into “hold my bag, I’ll scream for you.” Motiongate Dubai is basically a love letter to movies, except the movies throw you around at high speed. From the moment you walk in, everything feels cinematic big sets, dramatic entrances, and rides that don’t mess around. What I loved is the mix. You’ve got full on thrill rides that make you question your life choices, right alongside fun, immersive attractions that are more about storytelling and visuals. The movie themes are actually done well it’s not just a name slapped on a ride. You genuinely feel like you’ve stepped into different film worlds as you move through the park. The queues were reasonable, the park was clean, and it never felt confusing to get around. There are plenty of spots to grab food and drinks when you need a break (or emotional recovery time after a ride), and shaded areas that help when the Dubai heat kicks in. Christmas is also just on another level, its magical. It’s the kind of place where you go in thinking, “We’ll stay a couple of hours,” and suddenly it’s dark and you’re debating one last ride. Whether you’re a movie fan, a thrill seeker, or just someone who enjoys controlled chaos, Motiongate delivers. Pro tip: wear comfy clothes, secure your loose items, and don’t skip rides just because they look tame some of them are sneaky intense. Would 100% go again. 🎬🎢

Motiongate Dubai exceeded all my expectations. The park is beautifully designed, exceptionally clean, and offers a perfect blend of excitement, creativity, and family-friendly fun. Every zone immerses you in the world of your favourite movies, and the attention to detail is truly impressive. The rides are thrilling yet safe, with something suitable for every age group—from high-adrenaline roller coasters to gentle attractions for younger children. The indoor areas and shows are especially well done, making it easy to enjoy the park even during warmer weather. What really stood out was the staff: welcoming, helpful, and always professional. They added so much warmth to the experience. The park is also well-organised with minimal waiting times, comfortable seating areas, and plenty of dining options. Overall, Motiongate Dubai delivers a world-class theme park experience. Whether you’re a movie lover, a thrill-seeker, or a family looking for a memorable day out, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended!

Motiongate Dubai is a fantastic theme park, especially for movie lovers. The rides are well-designed, the theming is top-notch, and the DreamWorks zone is a highlight for families. Go early to avoid long queues and make sure to stay for the shows — they’re surprisingly good!

Such an unforgettable Halloween experience at Motiongate Dubai! 🎃👻 We visited with the whole family and absolutely loved it — from the spooky decorations and live shows to the fun “Smurfoween” area for kids. The park atmosphere was amazing, the staff were super friendly, and everything was so well organized. The mix of thrilling rides and family-friendly activities made it a perfect day for all ages. We especially loved how beautifully themed everything was for Halloween — it truly felt magical! ✨ Highly recommend visiting before November 2nd — you’ll have the best time! 💜

I recently visited Motiongate Dubai and had an incredible experience! The park offers a fantastic blend of Hollywood-themed attractions, immersive rides, and family-friendly entertainment. Here’s a quick breakdown of my visit: • DreamWorks Zone: Absolutely magical! The indoor setup was a lifesaver in the heat, and the Shrek and Madagascar rides were both fun and beautifully themed. • Studio Central: Great for photo ops and capturing the cinematic vibe. The street performances added a lively touch. • Roller Coasters: The Capitol Bullet Train and Madagascar Mad Pursuit were thrilling and well-maintained. • Cleanliness & Staff: The park was spotless, and the staff were friendly, helpful, and always smiling. 🍔 Food & Facilities: • Plenty of dining options with decent variety. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the quality was good. • Rest areas and shaded spots were well-placed, which made the day more comfortable. 🎟️ Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Motiongate Dubai is a must-visit for families, movie buffs, and thrill-seekers. It’s a well-designed park that brings Hollywood magic to life

An amazing place for children and adults alike. Ample parking. They have buggies to ferry you from main entrance to multiple gates. Couple of rides weren't working, but mostly are. Some rides open after 2 or 3 pm. Though it started filling up by 2 pm, wait time for rides didn't exceed 15 minutes anywhere. Madagascar ride was most thrilling. Bullet train was equally chilling, but outdoors, so you atleast can see what you're getting into. If you reach by 1 PM, you can cover 80% by 6PM. Lunch was at Mr. Ping's noodle shop. Great food!
