Very cool! Chasing butterflies in a desert oasis. From endless floral carpets to the delicate flutter of wings, Dubai’s Miracle Garden is pure magic. Nature’s masterpiece in the middle of the sand.

It was very easy for using with great user experience. The GUI by using the application is piece of cake and helpful in order to not using papers.

We really liked the information panels downstairs. Knowing how they built it I'm amazed even more. Also we had small baby with us and so we were automatically given fast track priority lane. It really helped us to avoid fussy baby

Polecam. Bilety kupiliłam dla 6 osób przez stronę internetową, szybko i sprawnie, kod QR zamieniłam przed samym wejściem at the top u przemiłej Pani w kasie. W ten dzień na godzinę 15, w tygodniu nie było kolejki. Było przed nami 5 osób. Sprawna organizacja, widoki przepiękne. Na miejscu sklep z pamiątkami, dubajska czekolada, mała kawiarenka, skrzydła do robienia pięknych zdjęć. Obowiązkowe miejsce do odwiedzenia w Dubaju.

Climbing the tower was much easier than climbing the Burj Khalifa. You didn't have to wait for hours to go up and down. Beautiful views, a café at the top. The prices may not have been very low, but in such circumstances, you don't drink coffee every day.

Very easy to buy at a very good price (cheaper than motiongate's website). I had a great time there. Park was empty on a Sunday.

Why we should win: We were this close to IMG Worlds of Adventure — bags packed, excitement at max level — and then… life happened. The tickets didn’t survive, but the enthusiasm did. These two boys have already visited IMG about a hundred times in their imagination. Winning would finally let reality catch up with their plans — and give them a story that starts with “We almost didn’t make it, but then…” Because sometimes the best adventures don’t start perfectly — they start with a second chance. And this one would be unforgettable. 🎢✨

Common guest complaints & how to plan around them

Wild Wadi Waterpark play area with colorful slides and water features in Dubai.

Visitors often report long wait times on weekends or public holidays. Some rides can have 30–45 minute lines, especially in midday heat. While the atmosphere remains fun, the waits can test your patience.

Smart guest strategies:

  • Arrive right at opening (10 am) to beat the rush
  • Visit on weekdays or during off-peak seasons
  • Ride the top attractions early, break for lunch at peak hours
  • Use the wave pool or lazy river as a midday cooldown
Best time to visit Wild Wadi
Exchanging euros during a guided tour in Europe.

While the food is decent, many guests find the pricing steep. AED 85 for a burger meal or AED 20 for a soft drink adds up, especially for families. Since outside food is restricted, your best option is to plan smart.

How guests save:

  • Have a big breakfast before entering
  • Share meals or snacks among your group
  • Look for All You Can Eat deals when offered
  • Bring your allowed 1L water bottle to stay hydrated

Plan ahead with these tips:

  • Review height charts before booking
  • Measure your kids at home to avoid disappointment
  • Prioritize Juha’s Lagoon and family rides for little ones
  • Ask staff about age-appropriate alternatives on site
