    Ever dreamed of meeting Superman? How about Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, aka America’s ass
    There’s no need to settle the debate of which superhero squad is the best. Whether you’re a hardcore DC or Marvel fan, UAE’s got treats for all kinds of superhero fans. There is a Marvel theme park in IMG Worlds of Adventure for avid Avengers fans, while DC Comics fans should head straight to Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi.
    And, when in doubt, choose both! You could never go wrong with visiting all superhero-themed parks in the UAE. 
    If you need help deciding, we’re here to give you the lowdown on these theme parks. Prep your secret alter ego, don on your masks (or capes), and up, up, and away we go!

    For Marvel Fans: IMG Worlds of Adventure

    Catch the Marvel Cinematic Universe come to life at IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai! Marvel fans will have the time of their lives as they explore Marvel Zone, where action-packed rides and attractions await. 
    Get up close and personal with your Marvel faves, from Tony Stark to Spiderman to Black Widow, via different experiences inside the area. Excited to try the rides inside this Marvel theme park? Hop on the Hulk Epsilon Base 3D and Thor Thunder Spin and raise adrenaline levels to keep you pumped for the rest of your day.
    If you feel peckish from meeting your heroes, you can try IMG’s Marvel theme park dining experiences. You can relive the iconic Avengers shawarma post-credits scene at Downtown Shawarma or feast on the best steak and seafood a la Tony Stark at the exquisite Tony’s Skydeck.

    Aside from Marvel Zone, IMG Worlds of Adventure has three other epic zones: Lost Valley, Cartoon Network, and IMG Boulevard. You can also test your courage and run through the ghouls inside the Haunted Hotel!

    For DC Fans: Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi

    It’s a bird, it’s a plane…nope, you’re just in Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi! Experience fun as fast as the speed of light at two different zones inside this state-of-the-art theme park.
    DC Comics fans are in for a major good time here ‘cos two out of six immersive lands are dedicated to DC superheroes! First is Gotham City, where you won’t only meet the Caped Crusader but also quirky villain duo The Joker and Harley Quinn. Meanwhile, it’s Superman territory at the Metropolis. Meet Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Superman (wink wink), with the Daily Planet at the center.
    There are four rides across these two zones. Our fave: the 5D Justice League: Warworld Attacks! This ride takes you on a thrilling immersive experience with Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, and the rest of the Justice League as they face off with Earth’s greatest villains.

    When you get hungry from saving the Earth (through the rides, of course!), you can head over to Big Belly Burger, perfect if you also have a superhero appetite for burgers, hot dogs, and fries. Fill up on all the carbs so you can continue exploring the rest of Warner Bros. World!

    Bonus: For Animation and Children's Favorite Characters

    Can't get enough of the thrilling rides? Once you've toured the Marvel theme park in Dubai and the DC Comics-inspired Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi, head over to Dubai Parks and Resorts, a theme park lover's haven. Did you know that it lets you experience four megaparks in one place? 
    Yes, Dubai Parks and Resorts gives you Motiongate theme park for the Hollywood experience, Bollywood Parks for the colorful world of Bollywood, the wet n' wild Riverland, and the fantastic LEGOLANDDubai! There are over 40 indoor attractions and 20 themed water rides.
    You can book different passes with Klook, like one-day and two-day passes. You'll get an instant booking confirmation and an open date booking. Plus, complimentary buggies are available to help you move from one park to another!
