WIN! A family day for fun at KidZania...

Top Things To Do In Abu Dhabi

Hey parents! There’s a new place in town for your kids to play “Let’s Pretend!” It’s called KidZania. It’s in Yas Mall, and you just might discover that your child wants to become a citizen of this child-friendly land after just one visit.

Rather than offering thrill rides, like a Disney park, or video-game arcades, like Sparky’s, KidZania gives children ages two through sixteen the chance to enact the roles of grownups in a lavishly realized, scaled-down world that’s kid-sized.

Join our competition for a chance to win a family playdate at KidZania!
