Motion Gate

Motion Gate

Spend a full day inside MOTIONGATE Dubai at Dubai Parks and Resorts, where Hollywood-inspired worlds combine roller coasters, family rides, character encounters and live entertainment. The park brings together themed areas based on DreamWorks Animation, Columbia Pictures, Lionsgate and The Smurfs, giving visitors a mix of high-energy attractions and gentler experiences for younger guests. Thrill-seekers can prioritise rides such as John Wick: Open Contract, Now You See Me: High Roller and Zombieland Blast Off, while families can enjoy attractions inspired by Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda. Around 40% of the park is occupied by the indoor DreamWorks area, adding welcome air-conditioned time between outdoor sections and making the experience easier to plan throughout the year.

Book your MOTIONGATE Dubai visit with Captain Dunes for ticket coordination, transport planning where included and practical guidance before arrival. A standard day ticket provides full-day park access, so most visitors should reserve five to seven hours if they want to experience several major rides, family attractions and shows. Ride eligibility varies by attraction, with individual height requirements and supervision rules, so families should check priority rides before booking. Park operating hours can change by date, and attractions close before the park itself, while temporary ride closures may also occur. Outside food and drinks are generally restricted except for permitted medical or baby requirements, with dining available inside the park. Captain Dunes can organise the confirmed visit, while MOTIONGATE Dubai remains responsible for ride operations, safety requirements, accessibility rules and onsite entertainment.

  • Main Zones: Explore DreamWorks Animation, Columbia Pictures, Lionsgate and The Smurfs, with rides ranging from family attractions to major thrill experiences.
  • Recommended Duration: Plan around 5 to 7 hours or most of the day if you want to cover several popular rides, shows and character experiences.
  • Height Restrictions: Every ride has its own height and supervision requirements, so families should check the rules for their must-do attractions before visiting.
  • Indoor & Outdoor Areas: The indoor DreamWorks zone covers around 40% of the park, but visitors should still expect outdoor walking between other themed areas.
  • Opening Hours & Ride Status: Park hours vary by date, and attractions close 30 minutes before the park closes. Temporary ride closures may also occur.
  • Food & Facilities: Outside food and drinks are generally restricted, except for permitted medical and baby requirements. Dining, restrooms, baby-care facilities and wheelchair-accessible public areas are available onsite.
  • Visitor Tip: Check ride height requirements and current attraction availability first, then visit your highest-priority rides early instead of trying to cover the park strictly zone by zone.
