Opening your children’s mind through a number of exciting and creative activities and attractions kick starts their learning even while they are on holiday, giving them fun and adventurous outlets that help them to absorb information in a completely different manner than they would while at home or school.

If you are planning to visit Dubai for your next holiday, you will be pleased to know the city is home to a number of activities and attractions that will teach your children new skills, get them moving, and will educate them about the world and the city they are visiting.

LEGOLAND® DUBAI

These brightly coloured bricks are by far one of the most popular children’s toys on the market, with children putting their motor skills and hand and eye co-ordination into practice as they use their imagination to build amazing structures.

But the fun doesn’t stop with LEGO® bricks, as LEGO® has gone life-size in the form of a brand new family water park and theme park in Dubai. LEGOLAND® DUBAI ensures that not only the little ones have fun in the sun, but also the whole family can explore and enjoy the park together.

From building their very own raft at Build-A-Raft-River by collection big floating LEGO® pieces (why not see who can build the bigger raft?) to racing each other on the Twin Chasers, you are guaranteed to enjoy a fun and creative day out together as a family.

Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

Located at Dubai Mall, your little ones will be amazed at the sight of thousands of fish, sharks and rays swimming about in Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo’s 10-million litre tank.

In addition to their tank there is a 48-metre walk-though tunnel, too, that provides you with 270-degree views, which will give you all a completely different insight into how fish move and interact with each other.

Throughout your visit at the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo there are numerous opportunities to learn something new, including a selection of daily presentations, some of which include: Ray Feeding, Shark Feeing, King Croc Feeding and Animal Presentations with their Otters, Water Rats, Piranhas and Penguins where you can ask questions and listen to interesting information about each animal.

KidZania

Does your child want to be a doctor when they grow up? Or a shopkeeper? Or a writer? To give them insight into an array of professions, you can give them the chance to experience whatever career they think they want to pursue at KidZania.

KidZania offers children the chance to give get involved in any career they are interested in through role-play and mimicking adult activities. They will experience not only the work they will be doing, but will be paid (or have to pay) for their services or the entertainment they indulge in.

KidZania is an indoor theme park with a city that is built to scale in order to accommodate children and make the experience feel real. There are paved streets, buildings and a functional economy, which only adds to the overall experience.

By injecting fun into your holiday activities your kids are more than likely to learn something new without noticing, as they will be enjoying their activity so much that learning will just be a part of the process!
