With its high-octane theme parks, world-class waterparks and endless green spaces, Dubai is the perfect destination for family adventures. Start your trip with epic thrills at Dubai Parks and Resorts to discover four of the city’s top attractions. Visitors can explore more than 100 fun-packed indoor and outdoor rides at Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks and Legoland Dubai, or make a splash at Legoland Water Park.

At Motiongate Dubai – the largest Hollywood-inspired theme park in the region – movie fans can uncover the best from legendary film studios such as Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks Animation and Lionsgate. Legoland, meanwhile, is the ultimate family adventure suited for kids from two to 12 years of age. Enjoy over 40 Lego-themed rides and shows before you head out to swim, play and even customise your own Lego raft at Legoland Waterpark. Continue building up the fun with a stay at the Legoland Hotel – a first in the region.

After a day full of activity, day two should be reserved for relaxation at one of the city’s many green spaces, such as Mushrif Park for a stroll through nature or Dubai Miracle Garden for a world of floral wonder. No trip to Dubai is complete without a venture into the Arabian desert and families can enjoy an invigorating cycle through Al Qudra or an exhilarating off-roading experience with Arabian Adventures. Round off your week by cooling down in the Dubai snow at Ski Dubai or hitting the surf at Kite Beach.
