Boo Boo Laand
Dubai Mall is now home to a mega family entertainment destination. Spanning 25,000 sqft, Boo Boo Laand is a play area filled with adventure and magical experiences for your children. Little girls will love the whimsical princess area, while sports fans flock to the football arena and creative kids have a great time at the robot art zone. Mums can let babies explore the sensory-filled little crawlers section while they pamper themselves at the on-site nail spa or grab a quick bite at More Café. There's also a mini chef's kitchen, a snow park and trampolines among other attractions.
woo-hoo!
Move, connect, explore, examine and imagine are the five developmental aspects that children's museum woo-hoo! cultivates through its interactive experiences. Additionally, kids can grow their independence during 'woo-time', a three-hour drop-off session full of activities including soft play and digging for dinosaur fossils. The play area is located in Al Quoz – just a five-minute walk from Bounce Dubai, if you want to continue the fun with some trampoline action.
KidZania
More like a mini-city, KidZania in Dubai Mall is a sprawling indoor playground where children can let loose. The make-believe town lets kids dress up, work, play and pretend to be adults for the day, building real-life skills while having a great time in a safe and immersive environment. There’s also a drop-off service where you can leave kids over 120cm to play under the care of town 'Zupervisors'.
Oktopus Park by We Play
Located in Cityland Mall, Oktopus Park by We Play has a lot to offer for your little ones. From an interactive area with simulation games, swings, trampolines and more to a massive ball pit with slides for different age groups and a small, dedicated toddler section, hours will go by exploring and having fun here before your kids agree to leave. Plus, friendly staff members are dotted around the venue to help the children with whatever they need so parents can relax at the in-house cafe.
Little Explorers
Drop off the tribe at Little Explorers and spend two hours browsing City Centre Mirdif while the small ones turn their hands to gardening, music, painting and pottering. The drop and play service allows children over four to explore the dedicated Space, Play and Water zones under the supervision of the Little Explorers team. As well as having endless fun, children will also learn valuable skills with a number of arts and crafts workshops on offer.
Cheeky Monkeys
Cheeky Monkeys is a soft play area that pairs the science of active play with thrills. With branches throughout Dubai, this indoor playground offers toddlers a fun experience with climbing structures, an arts and crafts garden, two-storey clubhouse, open gym and building block stations. Parents will be pleased to know that some locations such as the one in Downtown also offer a drop-and-go service, so you can leave your kids with the expert staff.
Bricobilandia
There’s nothing like a room brimming with Lego to keep the kids occupied while you enjoy a few hours of retail therapy. Children over three can be left to build to their heart’s content at Bricobilandia in Nakheel Mall and Dubai Festival City Mall. Brightly coloured bricks are at every child's disposal to build a new city powered by their imagination. And if you're looking to follow this up with something more spirited, the Trampo Extreme trampoline park is just around the corner from the Nakheel Mall play area.
Playtorium
Once you take your kids to Playtorium in The Meadows, you'll find it difficult to drag them out again as they won't want the fun to stop. It's aimed at toddlers to pre-teens, with net mazes, a digital trampoline zone, climbing frames plus tubes and slides just some of the draws. Role-playing areas and workshops keep little ones engaged, while an excellent cafe ensures adults are happy to relax here too. An added bonus? They will take care of children over three if you need to run errands.
Kids HQ
Equipped with three soft play areas, trampolines, slides, a ball pit, a sensory pit, a toddler zone and even a cute outdoor section, Kids HQ offers a spectacular time for little ones. At this sought-after venue, there are dedicated spaces – or 'HQs' – for events, play and learning. It is also one of the preferred locations for kids' birthday parties, with themed decor, interactive games and attractive packages that promise to make it a day to remember. The drop-off service runs throughout the week for children aged two to seven, from morning to early afternoon. While you're catching a break or finishing off some pressing tasks, your tiny crew can put their creative powers to the test in craft sessions, have a grand time with fellow tots and be well cared for by attentive staff.
