Here are the factors to consider before deciding between IMG Worlds or Motiongate Dubai:
Location: IMG Worlds is located closer to the city, compared to Motiongate. IMG is located close to Global Village on Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, while Motiongate is further away, at Dubai Parks and Resorts, which is about 35-40 minutes from Downtown Dubai.
Rides & attractions: Motiongate is home to about 25-30 different rides, spread across 5 themed zones such as Columbia Pictures and DreamWorks Animation. IMG Worlds of Adventure hosts 17 themed rides across zones such as Cartoon Network and Marvel. Motiongate has a wider variety of rides for both children and adults, while IMG may cater more to the younger crowds.
Price: IMG Worlds tickets start from AED 335, compared to the more reasonable Motiongate, which prices tickets from AED 225. Both ticket types include direct entry and unlimited access to all rides and attractions. Since Motiongate is located at the larger Dubai Parks and Resorts campus, you can opt to book a 2-park or 4-park ticket as well to visit multiple theme parks in one day.
Dining options: When it comes to snacks and dining options, both parks are well-suited to cater to a variety of preferences and cravings. Both IMG and Motiongate are equipped with numerous snack stands and restaurants that serve food from around the world.
Adults vs kids: Both parks try and do justice to adults and kids age groups. Motiongate, with its wider assortment of rides, may be suitable for all members of a family, including little kids.
Overall, there is a negligible difference in rides, dining options, and other services between IMG Worlds of Adventure and Motiongate. The only other factors to consider are prices and location, in both of which Motiongate fares slightly better.
