Children's dream addresses

Natalya Popova, Leading Specialist, Al Fanar Tourism & Cargo Specially for the "Russian Emirates"
It is not so easy to please a modern child: he saw something, he knows about everything! Based on the experience of communicating with our own children, we selected what aroused and causes delight among the kids living today in the UAE.

Children's animation

In terms of children's animation, we prefer the Miramar Al Aqah Beach Resort Fujairah. For those who are not very familiar with the terminology, we recall that the animator is something like an entertainer, who should not let children get bored while adults are resting.

This hotel has a professional team of children's animators, whose task is not only to take on the entertaining functions, but also to positively influence the development of good physical shape and the activation of the creative abilities of kids. In the morning aqua aerobics or fun exercises are held for children, during the day the kids are engaged in drawing, modeling, collect crafts from the designer, and in the evening the most interesting begins: the animators organize fun competitions, games on the beach or sports ground that teach children how to do archery, volleyball, swimming and more. Then the discos begin, where the kids dance, sing, run in an unstable cheerful "train" on the dance floor, perform on stage. Even the most shy children after such leisure find friends and try to keep up with their more active peers.

Walking paradise

Jebel Ali Beach Resort is also an ideal place to relax with children. It has a huge landscaped area with lawns and shrubs, a river and waterfalls. Here you truly feel the freshness of the seaside air. Peacocks strolling throughout the resort complex are so used to the guests that they eat with them! The river is teeming with fish and turtles, many outlandish birds run on the grass. But that's not all: this hotel has its own stable! Under the supervision of experienced staff, children can ride horses or ponies. Add here a beautiful clean beach, a two-story children's club, a children's pool - and a good mood is provided for you and your child!

Perfect birthday at Atlantis

Everything in the apartment is turned upside down: a cat with frightened eyes hangs on the curtain, cookies are crumbled in the fish’s aquarium, juice is spilled on the carpet, vanilla cream traces from children’s hands, toys, sandals, pencils and plasticine scattered all over the house ... It's just that today is the child's birthday!

To make this momentous day less destructive for your own home is quite possible. We would charge this to Atlantis, The Palm. And here's why: nowhere in the world will you have such a party for children as in the Atlantis Kids Club!

Here you will be offered a package of services for birthday parties, taking into account all your wishes, so that your child can celebrate his best birthday. Holiday organizers will offer you: professional decoration of the hall with balloons and individual birthday greetings, thematic decorations (for example, Ben, 10, Hannah Montana, Pirates, etc.), snacks, drinks, birthday cake, CD with photos of this day.

The entire event, from start to finish, takes place under the tireless supervision of hotel staff. Children invited to their birthday are registered, put on them nameplates and "identification" bracelets. Opposite the names of the children, the names and contact numbers of the parents are entered in the register. After registering and sending the child to the fun and holiday zone, parents can relax and devote themselves to 4-5 hours of peace and quiet.

There will be nothing to worry about - at Atlantis Hotel there are many amazing entertainments for any child: various playgrounds are located around the club, and in the central part there are two climbing walls suitable for children of different age groups. In addition, children can climb on a cheerful sunken ship with children's slides. Under the supervision of the organizers of the holiday, the children are invited to do applied art - draw a birthday card or create a craft using the origami technique, acrylic applique, clay or wood sculpting. Children are happy to get to work and then proudly showcase their "works of art" to each other and to their parents.

The "Banquet Hall" for snacks and a sweet table is located in the Creative Zone. Passing through the Game Zone, children enter the Underwater Theater zone, through two round windows of which you can admire the sea and the underwater life of the Ambassador Lagoon. Young visitors usually squeal with delight when they see behind a glass a whale shark or a diver distributing food to the inhabitants of the aquarium. In the area of ​​the Underwater Theater, various competitions are held (with distribution of prizes to the winners), dances and group games. Here the kids are entertained by a magician when tired and running guests of the holiday fall into the multi-colored soft pillows of Fatboy.

The master in the manufacture of fancy figures from long balloons is especially popular with everyone: he has no end to orders. It is easy to assume that such a birthday rarely ends at the indicated hour, happy parents are still “caught” by the parents who have come from the club for a long time. Gifts from Atlantis, issued at the exit to each party guest, mark the end of the holiday. Programs and events are designed for three age groups: 4-6 years old, 7-9 years old and 10-12 years old. There are morning, afternoon, evening and full-day programs. Children and their parents will always be able to choose a convenient schedule for themselves.

KidZania: adult game

Which child does not dream of becoming an adult for just a short while? How fascinating and tempting this or that profession seems to be in childhood! To understand what your child wants to be, take him to KidZania, the “City of Children," an unprecedented project created by Mexican Xavier Lopez Ancona in 1999. Today, KidZania's unique amusement park is open at Dubai Mall.

In this park, conditions have been created for children of different ages to get an idea of ​​more than 70 "adult" professions in a playful way. Here, children from 2 to 15 years temporarily become teachers, doctors, drivers, firefighters, police, stewardesses, jewelers, etc., developing interaction skills and gaining the first adult life experience. KidZania has a hospital, a supermarket, a bank, a beauty salon, a fire station and many other "workplaces" that cause genuine interest in the kids. A variety of choices allows the "residents of the city" KidZania to change a boring or seemingly boring job for any other - you only have to wish it. Children are offered 30 minutes to master each profession. In addition, each child receives a uniform and tools suitable for the profession. There are no adults in the park. When crossing the "border" the child receives a bracelet that allows you to track the whereabouts of the child, and a certain amount is issued in the local currency KidZo ("kizo"), which can be spent on attractions and entertainment inside the park. And “work” helps replenish the wallet, the more you work, the more you earn. The official currency of the town can even be put in KidZania bank, and you can get a plastic ATM card in return. The child performs all actions without outside interference. However, the specially trained KidZania staff is ready at any moment to come to the aid of the "small adult", to give him the necessary explanations regarding a particular profession or type of activity.

But that's not all: the number is "stuffed" with toys from Hamleys - the English chain of stores of the world's best children's toys! Lego constructors, Playstations game consoles, Christmas costumes, coloring books, dolls, teddy bears of all sizes and colors bring small (and large) guests too. Jumping in a bouncy castle, dinner near a sparkling Christmas tree with lights and toys, gifts under the pillow - and your children glow with happiness.
