As the summer intensifies across the UAE, Dubai has once again positioned itself as a haven for family-friendly indoor leisure, with the latest edition of the #DubaiDestinations campaign showcasing a wide range of air-conditioned attractions tailored to residents and visitors alike.
Among the standout venues is Ski Dubai, an iconic attraction that transforms Mall of the Emirates into a winter wonderland, complete with ski slopes, snow parks, and even penguin encounters.
Educational play is also in focus this summer, with attractions like KidZania offering children immersive role-playing experiences across a mini-city where they can explore real-world professions in a fun, hands-on environment. Similarly, OliOli presents younger visitors with interactive exhibits that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and discovery through themed galleries.
For those craving adrenaline and entertainment, IMG Worlds of Adventure offers a fully indoor theme park experience with rides inspired by Marvel and Cartoon Network characters. Dubai Parks and Resorts adds to the thrill with Real Madrid World alongside Legoland and Motiongate, offering options for both young children and teens.
Nature enthusiasts can explore The Green Planet, a biodome at City Walk that replicates the ecosystem of a tropical rainforest. With over 3,000 species of plants and animals, including sloths and exotic birds, it provides an educational escape into the natural world.
Meanwhile, the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo in Dubai Mall brings the underwater realm to life, letting visitors get up close with sharks, rays, and over 140 marine species through one of the world’s largest suspended aquariums.
These venues, among many others across the city, are part of Dubai’s long-term strategy to deliver experiences that cater to both residents and tourists, even during challenging weather conditions. For more details, visit Dubai Destinations' official website.
