It’s time to experience Dubai through the eyes of a child and all the sense of a toddler. The city is filled with destinations for your tiny little ones looking for fun and adventure. All the glittering lights and family-friendly attractions make it the perfect place to explore things to do in Dubai with toddlers.

Dubai Miracle Garden

Welcome to the land of flowers where they’ve used amazing agricultural technology to design a floral garden that is out of a fairytale. Walk through heart-shaped arches made completely from flower arrangements. Take pictures of the trees and other structures that they’ve built with the use of more flowers than you’ll ever see all in one place. The Dubai Miracle Garden lives up to it’s name in that it truly is a miraculous accomplishment to put together this explosion of color to build real life replicas of planes and other characters. Take the little ones on a night tour to see it lit up against the night sky with the water flowing and pouring out of some of the structures and trees. Your toddlers will look in amazement at the unicorns, Disney characters, and other familiar faces that they will see. A great feature of visiting is that many of the characters change so each time will feel like a brand new experience. 

LEGOLAND Dubai

Next on the list of best things to do in Dubai with toddlers is the infamous LEGOLAND Dubai. Children ages 2 -12 are welcome here to spend the day having fun with their favorite building blocks. The park is split up into different zones that include Waterpark, Adventure, Imagination, Kingdoms and City. The Factory is where you can shop and buy some souvenirs. As you enter and walk down main street you’ll see the excitement start to build in your kids’ eyes. Under the dome, Miniland is waiting for you to enter and witness the incredible replica of Dubai’s skyline as well as other noteworthy landmarks in the Middle East. They are all built out of LEGOS and some of them are so large that you can actually crawl through the structure to explore it at a closer angle. The Submarine Adventure is one your toddlers must try out. You get into a submarine like structure that will be submerged in water on the bottom half and on the top half there will be screens filled with pictures and information about what lies beneath from marine wildlife. They actually have some LEGO fish in there as well with the real live fish and sharks.    

Magic Planet

Located inside The Mall of the Emirates is Magic Planet, an indoor playground just for your kids. This venue has won many awards for entertaining families all around the UAE, the Middle East, and Africa. Magic Planet entertainment consists of games, rides and fun-filled attractions. It has the feel of an arcade when you first walk in but it has so much more to offer. Try out the obstacle course or the climbing wall so your kids can work on some of their balancing and athletic skills. There is a designated soft play area for your toddlers if they prefer to stay in a safer zone. It’s filled with color to keep them engaged while enhancing their creativity and play skills. This will all help them develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. The Bubbly Bed is another attraction that involves cushioned pillows that will have your little ones bouncing with a safe exterior. What would a toddler area be without a ball pool? You won’t have to wonder because they have one that will allow your kids to start their journey to the Gravity experience. The Gravity Air Park is basically a huge bouncy house that has its own obstacle course, slides, and much more to enjoy.

Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo

As you walk through The Dubai Mall with your little ones, you won’t be able to pass the huge aquarium without wanting to explore it further. The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo has 10 million liters of water that fill the gigantic tank that is home to 140 various species and a whooping 30,000 fish. Walk through the tunnel where the ceiling is glass so you can see the tank and marine life right above your head swimming around. The Explorer Experience allows you to get on a boat with a see-through floor so you can also get an up-close glimpse of the aquatic animals right beneath your feet. Some of the animals your toddlers will be able to see at the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo are otters, jellyfish, sharks, and even some crocodiles. Book your tickets to feed the penguins and watch them play with each other. A trained professional will be there to guide you and your little kiddos can ask them any questions that may come up.

Dubai Butterfly Garden

The Dubai Butterfly Garden is the largest of its kind in the world and is located in the Dubailand Area. It contains 26 varieties of butterflies with over 15,000 actually living within the walls of the garden.
