Dubai Parks and Resorts: Entertainment Hub with a New Entry Fee
Dubai Parks and Resorts, home to attractions like Motiongate, Legoland, and the upcoming Real Madrid World, is the city’s ultimate entertainment destination. However, this season marks a new addition: visitors who only want to explore Riverland Dubai will need to pay an AED 20 entrance fee when purchasing in person. If you’re visiting the main attractions, though, the entry to Riverland is included in your ticket.
The parks offer a day full of adrenaline, with options that cater to both young children and adults. From meeting your favorite movie characters at Motiongate to experiencing the world of LEGO at Legoland, Dubai Parks and Resorts guarantees excitement for all ages.
