Bollywood Parks Dubai has announced its closure permanently on April 20, 2023. However, the iconic Raj Mahal venue will continue to be available for private events. The management thanked guests, partners, and teams for bringing the music and colours of Bollywood to life at the popular park.

On March 22, the park said it was shutting down during Ramadan temporarily, but on Thursday it announced it would not reopen after serving visitors for seven years. “Bollywood Parks Dubai will close permanently from April 20, 2023,” the park wrote on Instagram. The Bollywood-themed attraction in Dubai opened to much fanfare in 2016 with an opening ceremony event headlined by Indian film icon Shah Rukh Khan. The park broke a record in 2021 by opening the tallest swing ride in the world.

Bollywood Parks was one of the several themed destinations within Dubai Parks and Resort, which include Montiongate and Legoland. The integrated park has been undergoing changes recently, led by the opening of JumpX, the world’s largest bouncy castle, in February. The site is to include a museum, roller coasters, food and drink outlets, merchandise shops and football games, officials said.
