Dubai Parks and Resorts to reopen on October 7

Dubai Parks and Resorts is scheduled to reopen on October 7, 2026. The reopening includes several major attractions, such as MOTIONGATE Dubai, Real Madrid World, LEGOLAND Dubai Resort, and The World of Riverland.

The parks had remained closed since the start of the Gulf war, which began following attacks by Iran in February. While other regional attractions had already resumed operations, the Dubai Parks remained closed due to security concerns regarding drone intercepts and the subsequent arrival of summer heat.

Upon reopening, The World of Riverland will introduce new features, including a bowling experience and Lamborghini Automobili racing simulators. Fernando Eiroa, CEO of Dubai Holding Entertainment, stated that the reopening marks a significant moment for guests, offering a diverse range of rides, dining, and family attractions for the upcoming season.
