A fun-filled destination with something for everyone, Dubai makes the ideal choice for a family holiday and here is a glimpse of what awaits.
Family-Friendly Accommodation
When it comes to accommodation, choose a family-friendly property that’s by the beach or better yet, on a private island! Options include Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort which features spacious beach suites and villas with private pools, a kids’ club, spa and dining venues. Such resorts also offer fun water sports and experiences like watching movies under the stars!
Theme Park Thrills
Visit IMG Worlds of Adventure, a sprawling indoor attraction within easy reach of the top 5-star resorts in Dubai with rides and shows based on characters from Cartoon Network and Marvel comics. At Dubai Parks and Resorts, you will find the Hollywood-inspired MOTIONGATE theme park and a LEGOLAND, while Aquaventure Waterpark on Palm Jumeirah is popular too.
Fun Discoveries
For some edutainment, families can head to KidZania Dubai (at Dubai Mall) where kids can experience their dream jobs from being firefighters to directors and more! Not to be missed is OliOli, a unique experiential play museum that caters to even toddlers, the intriguing Museum of illusions and the Dubai Museum located in a restored fort.
Other Highlights
Apart from KidZania, the Dubai Mall has other family attractions like the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, VR Park, a cinema complex and even an ice-skating rink. For more beach time you can head to Jumeirah Beach Park, while you can also enjoy indoor skiing at Ski Dubai, getting up close to dolphins at Dolphin Bay and riding camels in the desert!
