Think you’ve seen it all at Global Village? Think again…

One of the UAE’s favourite family destinations, Global Village, is taking its entertainment to the next level with a major new expansion. Allow us to introduce you to… The Wonderverse.

It’s an immersive, augmented reality (AR) experience that blends the physical park with a digital layer of adventure. No, it’s not a new location as such. But it does transform your visit to Global Village into an interactive journey where you can explore, play, and win some seriously cool prizes.

Allow us to explain

Inside The Wonderverse, visitors will discover a “phygital” world, meaning the experience combines real-life exploration with digital elements.

Your once ordinary stroll around Global Village is now packed with surprises. Mysterious glowing lights will be your guide, taking you across four unique zones – each offering challenges, puzzles, and hidden map pieces.

By completing these activities, you will unlock secret portals and earn rewards along the way. And for your reward? Oh, just a chance to win Dhs30,000. Have we caught your full attention?

The expansion represents Global Village’s first step toward a digital dimension, sometimes referred to as the metaverse. While it doesn’t involve VR headsets or living entirely online, it does offer a bridge between the real and digital worlds, letting visitors experience the park in a fresh and interactive way.

The Wonderverse aims to capture the park’s spirit of fun, connection, and discovery, giving guests of all ages something new to enjoy.
