One of the amazing aspects of a family holiday in Dubai is the stress-free theme parks you can visit with your kids. There are several to choose from, offering air-conditioned comforts to enjoy all the fun.
Legoland Dubai consists of a theme park and a water park—perfect for cooling off and beating the heat. Children especially, enjoy the water park more; offering plenty of fun and action as well as a chance to cool off. Best of all there are hardly any queues. Enjoy the lazy river on which giant Lego bricks are floating, while the variety of water slides is aimed at smaller and older kids. There is also a wave pool and other interactive play areas, amongst which the ‘build your boat’ attraction is a popular option. Legoland is easy to reach from places such as Avani Palm View Dubai. Situated less than half an hour from the park, these hotels near Dubai Expo are popular options amongst tourists seeking to enjoy the amazing experience Dubai Expo offers visitors.
Motion Gate Dubai. Loved as the equivalent to Singapore’s Universal Studios, Motion Gate Dubai caters to both young and old; yes, even very young children. Hence, it should be on your list of family-friendly places to visit in Dubai. Meet the cast from everyone’s favourite movie Madagascar, and let Kung Fu Panda teach you a few dance moves. Best of all most of the experiences are located indoors so you get to enjoy air-conditioned comforts while having fun.
The tallest building in the world most definitely is worth a visit. Its appeal is for both young and old and promises to awe everyone. You can purchase the entry tickets online in advance for a smoother experience. Take the kids and head over to the 125th floor where the view is utterly stupendous offering your bird's eye views of the entire region. The skyscraper standing at a height of 828 metres offers 360-degree views and is one of the most magical places to be at sunset.
Laguna Waterpark is another great kid-friendly attraction located close to hotels near the Dubai Expo, ideal for parents visiting with children. The park is new and features a range of exciting water slides for adults and older kids to enjoy some adrenaline-pumping action. Also, with plenty of splash pools located there, your toddler will love the place. To top it all is the Lazy River, the best place to relax and cool off.
Head over to the Mall of the Emirates and spend time at Ski Dubai. The best place to be on a hot summer's day. The place has it all. A mega high ski slope you reach via ski lift as well as bob sledging, zorbing and snow tubing for loads of fun. There is also a bumper car ride section for kids to enjoy. And your entry ticket includes the supply of winter clothes; a suit, snow socks to keep your feet warm and snow boots for trekking around the slope. You won’t get gloves, therefore plan to take some from home and you won’t have to buy any.
Enjoy your family time in Dubai!
