Top Family-Friendly Attractions in Dubai

With Dubai enjoying an increasingly popular reputation as a great tourist destination, it’s no surprise to find that Dubai has been called one of the top places in the world to visit. The emirate also offers plenty of activities to do.

And while a large proportion of the fourteen million tourists who visit the city each year will come for its incredible shopping opportunities, there are plenty of family-friendly attractions in this bustling metropolis too.

Top Family Destinations in Dubai

Here we list some family-friendly destinations for you to bring the whole family and visit.

*Ski Dubai
It’s huge projects like Ski Dubai that instantly illustrate just how keen this city in the United Arab Emirates is to attract families. The 85-metre indoor mountain gives tourists the slightly surreal experience of skiing indoors in the desert, and it’s great to see how Ski Dubai has also implemented plenty of kid-friendly features in the Snow Park play area too.

*Wild Wadi Water Park
If building giant snowballs in the middle of Dubai wasn’t entertaining enough, then perhaps a trip to the Wild Wadi Water Park could offer an alternative way to cool down in the desert sun. With two powerful surfing machines and the largest water slide outside of North America, it’s a fail-safe way to ensure that the kids let off some steam.

Whilst Dubai isn’t renowned for its beach attractions, the Jumeirah beach park offers a pleasant way to relax alongside the warm Gulf waters. Just be aware that some of the beaches belong to the nearby hotels, so be sure to check to avoid incurring a large fee.
