Let me introduce you to a few of the ENTERTAINER parents and their little cuties. I thought I’d get the low down on where some of our colleagues love to take their children. After all, Dubai is full of child-friendly activities where they can run, climb, jump, leap, and bounce to their heart’s content. And luckily for us, these lovely lot happen to know where some of the best places to keep them well and truly entertained (and tired out in time for bed time!) are.
Chantal & Noah
Noah’s favourite place to visit would have to be The Green Planet. He’s fascinated and curious about nature. From the lifecycle of the butterfly, which is so beautifully demonstrated at The Green Planet, to the call of the birds and other creepy crawlies. This is by far one of his most loved outings to date. And as a Mum in the big apple of the Middle East, it’s amazing to give him the opportunity to experience a rainforest with all creatures big and small.
Dan & Vincent
Amy’s Thai Bistro is the perfect day out for us as it has a playground just next to the terrace so we can keep an eye on Vincent whilst eating our meal, plus there’s lots of greenery outside below the sky train where he can have a proper run around afterwards.
Penny & James
My 2.5-year-old absolutely loves going for lunch at Atisuto—he has done since he was about 18 months old. You don’t expect kids to love Japanese food, but they do. If he hasn’t eaten much in days I take him here as I know he will clean his plate every time with no fuss. Plus the staff are really friendly, welcoming and great with little ones. Secondly, we love Mattel Play! Town as it’s sooooo much fun. With Barney, Bob The Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine and Fireman Sam it’s quite literally a little boy’s iPad come to life.
Ed & Olof
We love Flip Out Dubai. It’s the perfect way to spend an hour burning off all of that excessive toddler energy, whilst I also get to practise my own triple cork into the foam pit.
Sarah & Kate
One of my favourite things to do with Kate on the weekend is to spend the day at JBR. There’s a fantastic outdoor kids play area with a mini zip line so we make sure to get there nice and early, pack a blanket and just watch her have fun. Then when she has had enough we grab a bite to eat at Poco Loco where we can sit outside and people watch. The weekend in Dubai always feels like a vacation to me!
Look. We know taking the kids out for the day can soon add up (anyone who’s survived the school holidays will be all too aware of this!) but luckily all of these activities are 2 for 1 in your ENTERTAINER. So, there’s no excuse not to go out and have some fun!
