More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the cool, air‑conditioned mall corridor and into a neon-lit room that hums with motion: a crowd testing a drone simulator, a child laughing on a low‑intensity coaster, and the distant whoosh of the Burj Drop. Play DXB sits on Level 2 of The Dubai Mall at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, an indoor VR and AR playground built to deliver short, intense bursts of spectacle in a compact footprint.

Book mobile tickets in advance
Buy a mobile or paper ticket ahead to skip ticket lines and reserve popular time slots; many passes sell out mid‑day.
Use public transit to avoid traffic
Take the Metro to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station or a mall feeder bus—parking and road congestion peak in evenings and weekends.
Mind height and lap rules
Check height and age requirements for thrill rides; infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap on certain attractions.
Secure phones and loose items
Bring a small secure bag or use lockers where available—headsets and motion rides will dislodge loose gear.
Mobile phone with ticket app
Required for mobile tickets and timing; keep it charged to show entry QR codes.
Comfortable shoes
You’ll be on your feet between attractions; non‑slip shoes help during quick transfers.
Small crossbody bag or zip pouch
Keeps loose items secure during motion rides where pockets aren’t safe.
Light layer or hoodie
Indoor venues are air‑conditioned—bring a thin layer for comfort during longer visits.
