Fun Things To Do In The UAE For AED 50 Or Less

July 13, 2020 Posted by: Kidzapp Team Kids Activities

One of the great things about the UAE is that there are endless options of things to do with the family. When we come around to summer time, however, those options tend to narrow down (especially outdoor activities) and it can be tricky to keep the kids busy without breaking the bank. So to help you save a bit this holiday, we have gathered some fun things to do in the UAE for just AED 50 or less. Do keep in mind that some venues have limited capacity, age restrictions or temporarily unavailable activities. Make sure to call ahead to check for availability to avoid disappointment.

1. IMG Worlds of Adventure

Explore four Adventure Zones offering over 20 rollercoasters and attractions at this huge indoor theme park. Head to Marvel for a chance to experience the thrill of your favourite superheroes such as Spiderman and Hulk, brave it into the Lost Valley to encounter prehistoric dinosaurs, and take a stroll down IMG Boulevard if you're in the mood for fun arcade games or a bite to eat.

For your younger kiddies, Cartoon Network is where it's at. Here you can go on a ride with Finn & Jake, have an adventure with Gumball and even play around in Lazy Town!

For a limited time, IMG Worlds of Adventure is running a Pay As You Go deal where you pay just AED 20 to enter and then AED 25 per ride.
