Dubai for families

Dubai safari park visit as a winter break gift for my 2 sons of 3 and 7. We researched for a day or two and decided to book it through headout as recommended by many instead of the official Dubai safari website. Not quite sure of other booking channels, however, headout happened to be more economical than the official Dubai Safari booking site as the entry fee listed on their app is all inclusive of VAT. We booked the ticket that includes the guided safari and that was the best experience ever. A hack... you get 10 % discount on your next booking in headout. Not sure if this applies to every booking or just us as we booked it through them for the first time. The park is huge.. so, plan well to spend the entire day or atleast 5 hours.. Our journey.. 1. We reached the park at 10 AM. Took the train to the African Village. Explored African village and then boarded the train to the Explorer village. 2. The guided Safari took off from the explorer village which is close to giraffe station or we can say they are one station/village. The experience may have been different if we had book the general admission ticket. Highly recommend to book the ticket that includes the guided safari. 3. After the guided safari, it was already 12:30 pm, we headed back to Africa village as we wanted to eat lunch at Oregano.. very basic pizza and pasta.. ok for quick lunch. Reached Oregano at 1:15 pm and done with lunch at 2 pm. Please take note of the time.. moving in between takes time as we have to wait for train, then walk, enter restaurant. Order, wait, eat, walk to the train pick up point for the next stop.. 4. After lunch, we headed to the Asian Village and enjoyed the 3 pm echoes of the wild presentation, which was amazing. Sadly we missed the Birds of prey presentation as the show started at 4 and the kids were exhausted. 5. We took the Arabian Dessert safari tour from Asian village of 15 mins to head back to the kids farm which is close to the exit. The safari was enjoyable. 6. We enjoyed feeding the bird at the kids farm and exited the park at around 4:30 pm. Overall, it was a good experience, if we have to visit again, I would do the following: 1. Head straight to African village 2. Enjoy the explorer village with guided safari( not included in general adminision). 3. Have lunch at the explorer village 4. Explore Asian village 5. Know the timing of all shows and don't miss them. 6. End the experience with the kids farm. Basically, out fo all the 6 villages , what's worth enjoying were the African Village, explorer guided safari, Asian Village, Arabian dessert safari and the bird feeding in kids farm. If planned well, the journey can be shortened, nonetheless expect to dedicate 3/4 hours to enjoy the whole experience. Lastly, but not the least, all staff we interacted were all kind and helpful. Thanks a lot.

We had a wonderful day visiting Dubai Parks and Resorts with our 3- and 5-year-olds. Motiongate was great and surprisingly quiet, even though we visited during peak season around Christmas and New Year. We managed to take photos with all the characters with very little queuing, which made the experience even more special. There aren’t many rides for children under 1 meter, but overall it was still an amazing park and much less busy than others we’ve visited. We also went to Real Madrid World, which was the absolute highlight for us. I was pleasantly surprised by how many fun rides there are for younger kids, and as my son is obsessed with football, he had the best time. The two-park one-day ticket was excellent value for our family. The only downside was that we couldn’t use the free shuttle, as our hotel (Centara Mirage) wasn’t included, so it’s worth double-checking that in advance. Overall, we highly recommend it for families with young children.

A wonderful family experience! Dubai Crocodile Park is clean, well organized, and perfect for kids. The guided information was engaging, and the kids loved seeing the crocodiles up close. It’s not too tiring to walk around, making it ideal for families. Highly recommended for a relaxed and educational day out.

We loved the future park a lot and enjoyed painting on paper with lot of colours, and scan our page to see the virtual image on the wall beautifully

We enjoy the roller coasters , especially the big one that it was outside of the park in Dinosaur area was amazing experience !!!

Legoland park are awesome place to visit with kids. Lots of fun games and you can take unlimited rides on all games. Must visit places in Dubai with family.

The service of headout is awesome. however, since it's the 1st time in Dubai, and pick time for tourists, got 3 hours in line for the view at palm and that took a significant time on the other ticket which is aquaventure.

Seal show was fun and enjoyable. Dolphin show was okay to watch once. The DJ was entertaining. The show was more towards VIP tickets area
