Whether you’re looking to make the most of the beautiful weather by opting for outdoor activities or prefer to spend quality time with the family stacking up on fun indoor experiences, we’ve covered all the fronts. Now, let's get that planner out!
Let the fun begin!
Why not get the fun started bright and early by heading on a mesmerising morning desert safari with the family? Get the thrills going over an exciting dune drive before finding your balance on a sandboard. Take your knowledge from the classroom into nature as you try and spot local wildlife. To ensure you have ample energy for all the fun to come, indulge in a delicious breakfast by a beautiful lake in the middle of the peaceful desert before heading back to the city.
If you’re not quite done with adventures just yet, schedule in a quick trip to Aventura Park. Do some bonding with your family or friends on Jacob’s Ladder, take a thrilling Leap of Faith or go for a leisurely nature walk with your tour guide full of fascinating stories about the great outdoors.
Spectacular slides and splashes await!
What better way to enjoy the fantastic fall days than sliding into some sparkling waters? Dubai boasts quite a few action-packed waterparks, guaranteed to leave the entire family smiling from ear to ear. To cover all the sliding, splashing, surfing and relaxing you could dream of, spend a day at the Laguna Waterpark. Feel your pulse racing as you speed down the Mad Racer or drop to a Free Fall. To calm things down a bit, kick back and float down the lazy river or discover the beautiful La Mer beachfront decked out with quaint cafés.
Get your bounce on
If your idea of a relaxing school break doesn’t involve boot camp style workouts, it doesn’t mean the whole family can’t get their exercise in. Head to Dubai Mall or Nakheel Mall and bounce your problems away! Make your way across the trampoline road, conquer the challenging climbing wall, be whisked through the air as you give trapeze jump a go and determine the winner on the dodgeball court. Beware - after two hours of non-stop bounce-filled fun, you may want to book your next massage appointment to cure those sore muscles.
The sky is the limit
Since we’re already on the topic of reaching new heights, why not channel your inner dare devil to the fullest and go for a quick skydive? You can wipe that cold sweat off your forehead, as our indoor skydiving experience will take out all the risky bits and leave you with a load of fun!
Grab your companions and head to iFly Dubai to enjoy all the emotions of jumping out of a plane without the unnecessary dash of fear. Feel your heart racing and the wind in your hair as you turn your dreams of flying into reality. This experience is guaranteed to make this spring break one for the books!
We’ve got some tricks for your pics
You won’t be solving any math problems, but we’ve got something to keep your brain working full-time. Get ready to rub your eyes and question your vision at the Museum of Illusions. This entertaining journey through the bewildering world of trickery is guaranteed to test the entire family’s smile muscles. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture all the smiles and snap some mind-bending photos.
If you’re looking to take your 'Gram game even further, Madame Tussauds is a guaranteed hit. Catch-up with Queen Elizabeth II over a cup of tea, kick some ball with Ronaldo, snap a selfie with Kylie Jenner and reach those high notes with Lady Gaga. Your favourite celebrities have conveniently gathered on the beautiful Bluewaters Island to help make your selfie dreams a reality.
Playing grownups
Just because class is dismissed, doesn’t mean learning should be. Pay a visit to Kidzania and give the kids a chance to feel like grownups for a day. Whether their dressing up as firefighters ready to save kittens from treetops, flipping burgers at McDonald’s or making their sweetest dreams come true as tiny Willy Wonkas, these real-life experiences are guaranteed to teach them a lesson or two without skipping out on any of the fun.
Once the hard day’s work is done, what better way to cool off than to perform a few pirouettes on the Dubai Ice Rink just a couple levels down? Put your winter sports skills to the test and enjoy one of the coolest experiences in Dubai with the entire family.
World full of adventures
If you’re looking not only to meet your favourite celebrities, but also the biggest superheroes over this break, it’s time to head to the IMG Worlds of Adventure. With five action-packed zones to discover, thrilling rollercoasters to ride and all the heroes and cartoon characters you could ask for, this one’s a definite hit with the entire family. After escaping the Haunted Hotel and making your way down IMG Boulevard, fuel up over a themed lunch guaranteed to beat the average school cafeteria servings.
