💡 Insider Tips for Families
- Download the App: Use the official Dubai Parks & Resorts app to track live queue times and show schedules.
- The Shuttle Bus: There is a free shuttle from major malls (Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall) and several hotels.
- Parking: General parking is free, but it is a long walk to the entrance. Use the DPR1 Bus from Ibn Battuta Metro if you aren’t driving.
- Summer Strategy: Motiongate and Legoland Miniland are fully indoor and climate-controlled, making them the best park choices if you are visiting during the hotter months.
