Heading to Dubai as a family? Whether you’re going with toddlers or teenagers, this incredible city promises attractions and activities guaranteed to keep everyone entertained. From fine dining to designer shopping and world-class waterparks, Dubai offers something for every personality.
Below, we’ve outlined some of the most magnificent family-friendly adventures in Dubai to help you plan your next holiday.
Thrilling theme parks
Dubai is known for its glitz and glamour, but this star-studded destination also provides incredible action-packed escapes perfect for thrill seekers.
The most popular attractions can be found at Dubai Parks and Resorts, an immense theme park destination featuring more than 100 rides and over 2km of roller coasters. At LEGOLAND® Dubai, families with young children can get stuck into fantastic rides and attractions, plus an extensive outdoor waterpark that’s ideal for those hot summer days.
Underwater wonders
Next, we think that the best Dubai holidays should always include a trip to the city’s Aquarium and Underwater Zoo. Located within the Dubai Mall, it houses hundreds of different species and features immersive displays, perfect for capturing the whole family’s imagination.
Promising an experience that’s both educational and visually spectacular, going to the aquarium gives everyone something to be inspired by. Whether you’d like to try snorkelling or get up close and personal with a huge crocodile, there’s plenty on offer.
Spectacular fountain shows
The free Dubai Fountain show kicks off from 6pm every evening, running every 30 minutes until 11pm. Dubai is known for being on the higher end of the scale when it comes to costs, so this wonderful show could make an ideal break from your holiday shopping and celebrations.
Watching the colourful, illuminated jets as they dance to music is a must-see for people all of all ages. Expect to hear popular songs from well known artists, with the jets of water swaying perfectly in time.
Desert exploration
Just a short drive from the centre of Dubai, you’ll find incredible deserts and sandy, open plains. The heart of the Arabian desert is just a 50-minute drive from the city. There, you can go on buggy rides and dune safaris, or explore the UNESCO listed Mleiha archaeological site.
If you’re a family of animal lovers, why not book a camel ride or go horseback riding together? There are so many safe and memorable ways to introduce children to the beauty of Dubai’s natural, arid landscape.
Relax and play in Dubai
Finally, take some time away from the urban centre and head to the sandy shores at Jumeriah Beach Residence. There’ you’ll find pristine beaches, safe and clean playgrounds, and plenty of family-friendly restaurants too.
After shopping, eating and exploring everything that the city has to offer, heading to this neighbourhood means finding a few peaceful moments. Relax, unwind and make beautiful memories together on the beach between amazing city adventures.
![[AD] This year has been full of changes, we’ve homeschooled, we’ve worked from home (and still do) and as a result, we have spent more time in the house than we have out. It’s been no surprise that our monthly utility bills have increased over that period.
With our rising bills we wanted to see how easy it would be to reduce our bills and be more in control of our energy usage by switching to a smart home with one of the UKs leading smart home providers @HiveHomeUK. Combined with our Amazon Echo devices we have fully automated the lights in our home with Hive Dimmable Lights. They can be dimmed, set on timer, switched on/off via the app and respond to voice commands through Alexa.
You can find out more ways a smart home with Hive can benefit you in my blog post (link in bio)
