IMG Worlds of Adventure is an indoor amusement park in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. It is Dubai’s first mega themed entertainment destination. The park is divided into four “epic zones”.

The theme park includes 17 themed rides.
The park contains four themed areas, called “Epic Zones”. The park also contains a 12-screen cinema. Falcon’s Creative Group was the primary design firm involved in designing process.
Cartoon Network is one of the zones and based on cartoon characters from Cartoon Network. It contains the world’s first 5D Ben 10 cinema and the largest Ben 10 store in the world.
