We received complimentary access due to staying at the Lapita resort for a week. We visited mid week noting that the park opened at 11am but there was a lackadaisical attitude to opening rides and I would not recommend busting a gut to get there for 11am! It was eerily empty while we were there with a fraction of the footfall I would expect during half term. Still it did mean we whizzed around the rides really quickly once they finally opened!! Some rides were unavailable all week (Mad Pursuit for example) but we really enjoyed The Dragon Gliders ride which was excellent, The Smurfs Studio Tour, Shrek ride and Now You See Me rollercoaster. It’s good that the whole Dreamworks area is indoors when the heat becomes too much. Toilet facilities spotless. No free water / refill stations. Staff rather ambivalent to guests I thought and our second visit at the weekend was ridiculous as hardly any rides were open by 12.30! I felt sorry for people who weren’t staying at Lapita who would have travelled to the park and paid an entrance fee only to be confronted with 80% of the rides not yet open, unavailable or down due to technical difficulties!!! I’m surprised the studio names (Lionsgate, Columbia Pictures, Dreamworks etc.) allow this park to be run like this. It must be making a massive loss overall and I suspect it’s hard to find decent staff willing to stick it out. Finally the Halloween theming for the Hollywood was pretty adult and not suitable for young children and we didn’t see any special events but I suspect the park only came to life at night after we left.

On arrival, we parked at the large car park just outside Riverland. We took the free mini bus transfer to the entrance of Motiongate. All three parks (Motiongate, Legoland Dubai and Legoland Water Park) are within walking distance from the car park. However, free regular transfer is available to the parks. Straight into the center of the park where Studio Central is located. Hollywood Theatre is where some great live shows and entertainment take place. The park has 4 themed areas: Columbia Pictures, Smurfs Village, Dreamworks and Lionsgate. Columbia Pictures: our favourite ride was The Green Hornet: High Speed Chase 🎢 kids wanted to on it several times, luckily there was no queue as the park had just opened. Smurfs Village: we had a tour behind the scenes of the Smurfs’ movie set. Nice and chilled ride to get away from the sun and have a little rest. Dreamworks: our family favourite ride was definitely Dragon Gliders. We got to see some of the park from above, it’s a moderate trill ride and lovely for families. Lionsgate had a few rides rated “high trill level” Now you see me: High Roller, and John Wick: Open Contract. Toilets are available around the park and just outside are the water fountains - so remember to refil your bottle. If you have any more questions check my Instagram mrsivyhyde and get in touch

Today my son and I visited this park. I want to note the high service, especially grateful to the manager Ammin, he simply saved us. We mistakenly bought tickets for the wrong date, Amin himself suggested trying to solve the problem. In the end, we got into the park without additional payments, and our tickets were changed. Thanks a lot! The park itself is an amazing place for a family adventure! very beautiful locations, attractions for every taste! highly recommend!

It has rides for all ages. We went as a family with kids ages 8 and 6 and they had loads of fun. We bought the Q-Fast and it was completely unnecessary. The park is big and the crowd was light. The John wick ride was the most exhilarating. Staff were polite and friendly.

Had a great time! Managed to squeeze in a visit before our flight out. Jerald from Guest Services was very helpful as we needed to stow our luggage while we enjoyed the park. Highly recommend! Minimal queues!

It so amazing experience in my entire life. So many took photos with my friends and We rode all the rides. This is my memorable moment of this year 2023. So many thanks to you my dear friend, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, love you 🤗😘🥰

I went with my family to countless theme parks all over the world but the experience we had at Motiongate was one of its kind. We were very lucky to deal with Ms Mai whose unmatched friendliness and helpfulness elevated our experience. This lady reflected on how motiongate would only hire world class personel with the required experience to reflect on its brilliant reputation.

Park was very fun and entertaining to my kids. We have enjoyed all rides and my kids liked roller coaster more. Staff were helpful, kind and very friendly. Food variety is good. We enjoyed taking our lunch in Colombia pictures.

Took my son and a few of his friends for the day. Got there about midday and with the QFast extra they managed to get in all the rides before it became busy later in the day. Some good rides for teenagers: bullet train, Madagascar, Jon Wick and the rest are ones they can enjoy but not really thrill for teenagers. It’s nice and cool in the winter months especially with the outdoor walking - although some rides are inside. One big gripe is the quality of the food. Lots of crepe, snack type places but for lunch the quality is low, especially the cafe in Dreamworks. This is one thing motiongate could improve: the quality of lunch/food offerings. It’s a bit of a walk from the entrance to motiongate but 10 AED a person and you can get dropped off by one of the buggies.

Priyanka at ticket sales made me want to leave a 5 star review. She gave us the best customer service experience we’ve ever had!!! Other than that, park is small and less impressive than universal studios or disney orlando, but still cute.
