Fun theme park

Dubai is also a theme park paradise, and there are plenty for kids of all ages. Dubai Parks & Resorts is home to no less than three theme parks: BollywoodParks, Motiongate and Legoland.

Younger ones will love Legoland, where they can experience adventurous rides and roller coasters as well as Lego building experiences and interactive games in different areas.

IMG Worlds of Adventure is the world’s largest indoor theme park, where big-screen entertainment like Marvel comes to life with ‘thrill rides’ and ‘relaxing rides’, and kids can meet characters like Spiderman, Thor and the Powerpuff Girls.

There are also many water parks to cool off. Thrill seekers should head to Aquaventure and Wild Wadi for adrenaline-pumping slides and ziplines, while families with young children can enjoy gentler rides at Legoland Water Park.

Back on dry land, Expo 2020 will delight children with dazzling shows and fascinating pavilions from around the world, as well as a wide range of gastronomic delights.

Take some culture

In addition to the excitement of world class attractions, Dubai also has tons of culture. A great way for families to explore it is to board an Abra, a traditional wooden boat, and cross Dubai Creek.

It’s a great way to see the spectacle of old and new Dubai, passing commercial cargoes and wooden dhows, and seeing traditional houses, wind towers, and minarets.

This way, you can also get to the most famous and lively souks in the city, including the Gold Souk and the Spice Souk. Children will be captivated by the sights and smells – and will be spoiled for choice as to where to spend their pocket money.

Direction the desert

If you have the time, a trip to the desert surrounding the city is sure to create magical memories for children. Arabian Adventures offers tours to suit any itinerary – from morning trips to overnight stays. For a bit of fun, you can even book a hot air balloon flight at sunrise.
