You step off the air-conditioned concourse into a pixel-lit hall where the crowd hums like a circuit board. Headsets click into place, screens bloom, and the Burj Drop — a vertical virtual free-fall — pitches you toward a rendered skyline while the real Burj Khalifa looms outside the mall’s glass. Play DXB occupies a dedicated 7,000-square-meter space inside The Dubai Mall and staggers attractions across family-friendly simulators and intense VR rides.

Reserve your spot on the Experience Play DXB Dubai VR Park with Optional Transfer today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book a timed slot
Purchase the mobile ticket ahead of time and pick an evening or late-afternoon slot to avoid midday crowds and Dubai heat outside.
Use your AED 275 credit wisely
Prioritize high-intensity or longer-duration experiences first—the credit covers multiple pay-and-play attractions but can be used up quickly.
Motion-sickness caution
If you’re prone to nausea, skip intense free-fall or rapid-motion rides and ask staff for lower-intensity options or seat placement recommendations.
Take public transit
Downtown traffic can be heavy; the Dubai Metro’s Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall stop is the most reliable way to arrive on time.
Mobile phone with charged battery
Needed for mobile ticketing, ride queues, and using the AED 275 credit.
Light, comfortable footwear
You’ll be standing and walking between attractions on hard indoor floors.
