Dubai Children's City, Dubai

If you are visiting Dubai with your children, you’ll want to give them a treat after they have faithfully followed you from skyscraper to souk and a great place to take them is to the Children’s City, situated in Creekside Park.

This theme park offers an entertainment package for the whole family. It is the 1st educational city in the United Arab Emirates and welcomes children from 2 to 15 years of age. It is also a favorite destination for school groups on day trips and everyone will learn interesting and exciting things here.

There is a theatre where movies are shown or live performances which are short shows based around the park’s main themes of Nature, space, the human body and international culture. There are also hands-on workshops to further explain these concepts, where children will also learn that education can be fun.

You will also find a computer and communications gallery, a great souvenir shop, prayer rooms and areas for babies and disabled children. For the tots there are pools, sand-pits and building bricks to keep them amused for hours. The centre has a large library with books in both Arab and English and a café where you can enjoy a snack or a longer meal.
