OliOli
Children aged two to 11 can unlock the power of positive play and let their imaginations run free at OliOli. The experiential play museum in Al Quoz, which clinched the Tripadvisor Traveller’s Choice Award in 2021, features eight galleries spread across two floors. Kids can have fun while learning at these dedicated spaces: Air Gallery, Water Gallery, Toshi’s Nets, Incredi-Balls, Future Park, Mission OliOli, Toddler Gallery and Cars & Ramps.
Each gallery offers an immersive sensory experience and has been carefully designed with art and modern equipment, inspired by ideas from leading global educators, developmental psychologists, artists and fabricators. In total, there are 45 hands-on exhibits for kids to experience.
Things to do at OliOli
Young engineers can design and test out automobiles, rockets and hovercrafts while budding secret agents will want to go undercover and tackle a villain with an evil masterplan. Amateur architects and artists may prefer to explore creative renderings using a variety of interesting tools and objects.
There's fun for grown-ups too – all the installations allow families to bond over imaginative play sessions, and children are always accompanied by an adult aged 18 years or older. For some time-out or to fuel up on healthy snacks, stop by OliOli's La Petite Treehouse Cafe.
