Dubai Parks™ and Resorts is bringing families one last summer thrill before the school bell rings
Summer might be saying its goodbyes, but Dubai Parks™ and Resorts is shouting a big, bold “NOT YET!” with its Back to School, Back to Fun extravaganza, running from 9 August to 7 September 2025.
Think rollercoasters, neon playgrounds, wild arcade battles, shopping sprees (yes, with discounts!), and one mind-bending new adventure you won’t want to miss.
Start the Day at RIVERLAND™ Dubai

Step through the gates of RIVERLAND™ Dubai, where your AED 25 online ticket (AED 30 at the gate) unlocks a wonderland that’s part street, part dreamworld.

This isn’t just an attraction; it’s a whole mood. Walk through eight immersive, interactive rooms, from glowing underwater palaces to enchanted forests, where light, sound, and magic literally respond to your every move.
Tickets? Just AED 70. Your Riverland entry gets deducted, so you’re only paying the difference!
And if you’ve got younger adventurers in tow, don’t miss the Neon Galaxy Indoor Playground; multi-level madness with climbing zones, obstacle courses, and games for little explorers.
Fuel up between adventures with bites at T-Rex Café, Viva Ristorante, or go full pub vibes at The Keg. Whether you want pasta, prehistoric burgers, or a cold iced tea in an Irish pub-style setting.
MOTIONGATE™ Dubai

From high-speed rollercoasters to shopping with a twist, MOTIONGATE™ is where movie magic and retail therapy collide.
Brave the Madagascar Mad Pursuit, a rollercoaster that’ll rattle your bones (in the best way), or glide with dragons on Dragon Gliders through skies above Berk. Laugh your way through the Kung Fu Panda 4D Experience, where Po and friends bring the chaos.
Plus, score up to 50 per cent off on back-to-school gear across the park. Backpacks, stationery, novelty supplies, all with that blockbuster energy.
