The UAE has a ton of theme parks, where you can go with your family. You do not need to travel too far for good rides or safe play areas. Most parks are fun and have proper air conditioning. Plus, they are close enough to drive to. Check out the theme parks below, some popular ones. They are simple to find, clean, and fun for everyone. And the age is only a number here.
1. Global Village Dubai
When the weather cools down, Global Village Dubai opens for its yearly season. It usually runs from October to April. This place mixes a fairground and a world market. You can walk through pavilions from different countries, taste food, see short stage shows, etc. In addition, you get the chance to try small rides.
The area is big yet easy to navigate. Benches, clean toilets, and numerous food stalls are available. 5 pm is usually the best time for most families because of the cooler air. And they often prefer to stay until the fireworks at night. Buying Global Village tickets online helps avoid the evening rush.
2. LEGOLAND Dubai
LEGOLAND Dubai is safe, colorful, and most importantly, open. Most rides are on the gentler side. These building zones are ideal for kids, as they're able to create a variety of robots, cars, boats, and whatnot. All with the help of simple Lego bricks. That's the reason why it ranks among the prime kids activities in Dubai.
There is also a small water park beside it. Families often spend half a day in each area. Food is simple and not too expensive. You can get LEGOLAND Dubai tickets online. They're available as a combo sometimes (don't miss a chance if you get it).
3. Warner Bros World
On Yas Island by any chance? Then don't miss this cool spot. 6 themed areas, all indoors. That means you can visit any time of year, even in the hot months. Famed cartoon/film characters are the inspiration behind it all (pretty nostalgic, isn't it?).
Walk through the various areas, and it'll feel like walking through Gotham City or Metropolis. You'd even meet Bugs Bunny, you know. There are various short live shows as well.
The AC works as expected, food options are more than enough, and getting the Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi tickets early on helps skip the notorious weekend lines.
4. Ferrari World
Locating the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is more than easy. Why? Because of its huge red roof that is visible even from a long distance. The park is known for Formula Rossa. Yes, Formula Rossa, the globe's fastest roller coaster today. This great ride is extremely fast and loud. However, there are also smaller activities for children.
Families can walk around car displays, sit in simple simulators, or watch how race cars are built. The park is mostly covered. That's why it stays cool. Parking is shared with other parks on the island. This makes moving between the parks no problem. Ferrari World tickets can be obtained online beforehand.

● Go early. It is cooler and less busy in the morning.
● Bring water. You'll be walking around a lot.
