Dubai is one of the easiest big cities to enjoy with children: it is clean, well organised and full of air-conditioned attractions. These ideas keep every age group happy.
Big hits
The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo at The Dubai Mall lets children see sharks and rays up close, and KidZania nearby is a favourite for role play. A day at Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis, The Palm is ideal for older kids.
Outdoors in the cooler months
From roughly late autumn to spring, visit Dubai Miracle Garden for its flower sculptures and Global Village for international pavilions, food and entertainment. Both are seasonal, so check dates before you go.
Easy beach time
JBR beach has calm water, a walkway and plenty of cafés, and many resort beaches offer children’s clubs.
Smart planning
Schedule outdoor activities for the morning or late afternoon, book hotels with family rooms and kids’ clubs, and keep a light snack and a hat in your day bag.
Our family packages combine flights, family rooms, child-friendly tours and transfers with car seats where needed.
