The Most Kid-Friendly Activities in Dubai

While you'll have the time of your life solo traveling in one of the safest cities in the world by visiting Dubai, we know that it's not possible for those who have kids and families they are responsible for. Lucky for you, Dubai is more than just its luxuries and skyscrapers. You can still make the most of your trip and let everyone create memories, including your little ones, by simply looking for the right places in Dubai.

Let's look at our first stop, Dubai Miracle Gardens. It's the world's largest natural flower garden, and there are more than 50 million flowers that have been arranged into some of the most beautiful and intricate flower displays you'll ever see. It's a place that looks like it's just come out of a fairytale, and it's sure to be a place your kids will love.

The garden is a wonderland, and it has everything your kids' imaginations can think of, floral castles and teddy bears, or even a life-sized Emirates A380, all made completely out of flowers. There's not a single spot that's not worth taking pictures of. Younger visitors will take even more pleasure in visiting the Smurfs Village, where they can see all the mushroom houses from the movies and cartoons they love watching at home, meeting their beloved cartoon characters, and seeing them come to life.

The Butterfly Garden is also close by, and there are just thousands of butterflies flying around freely in their safe enclosure., It's a magical place.

As the sun starts to make its way back down, Dubai Garden Glow is the perfect place to watch beautiful sculptures light up and glow, follow the endless tunnels of light, and just take in all the interactive art they've installed everywhere that will not only amaze your children, but you're sure to be amused as well. It's partially a theme park and also an art show, but the whole experience is just mesmerizing.

Right next door to this beautiful place is Dinosaur Park, another activity to take your young little adventurers back in time to the Jurassic period. There are animatronics that are completely life-sized and replicated dinosaurs that roar as you make your way through the jungle. The experience isn't just fun, but it's also educational and just a tad bit scary enough to give your little adventures a small rush.

There are probably not many people who hate animals, and kids seem to love them, which is why Dubai Safari Park is the place to go. The park houses more than 3,000 animals, and it features animals from different sections of the world, African, Asian, and Explorer Villages. It's a place that's way more exciting than the zoo, where the animals are just lying around in front of you, and it adds to the thrill when kids spot animals like lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and much more.

For some even younger audiences or an experience that is a little more physically stimulating, the place also has a Kids Farm where you and your kids can have interactions with goats, sheep, ponies, and other friendly animals. The Safari Journey is another experience where you drive through, and it's another huge hit, allowing you to get a close-up view of animals in their natural habitat.

Hidden within the City Walk, The Green Planet is a biodome that stands four stories tall, and its main purpose is to recreate the environment of a tropical rainforest. Kids can see even more animals and wildlife here in their “natural” habitat, such as sloths, parrots, tree frogs, and much more, not to mention they can get the experience of walking through a thunderstorm, indoors!

The main attraction for many people who visit is the interactive sessions where you can feed the birds and handle some insects, and get to learn more about the different species that live together in this ecosystem. For an even better experience to make some truly unforgettable memories, you can book the “Zookeeper for a Day” program or take part in the overnight camping experience in the rainforest.

Aquaventure Waterpark is one of the largest water parks in the world, and it's located right at The Palm at Atlantis. This is a great place if you wanna get away from the dreadful heat of the city and cool off with some water. The place is great for all age groups and it's completely safe, there is a massive area dedicated to kids with mini slides and splash zones, while those that are older and on the braver side can take their chance and go on some record-breaking rides like Leap of Faith or the Odyssey of Terror.

Dubai is a place for everyone, people of all ages and all types; there are no limits to fun. There are so many options for everyone, and all these places are easy to reach from one another. The best part is that these aren't just meant for fun, but a great way to educate your kids and let them learn about nature and animals in a way they'll never forget. Dubai has something to keep everyone smiling.
