Going on a vacation with your kids is fun as the little ones are energetic and they spread their energy and enthusiasm to everyone. However, if you just stick to sightseeing while on a holiday, your kids are likely to get bored. Hence, it is necessary that you find things for them to do. If you are in Dubai for your annual holiday, you would know that the city does not disappoint you as it offers a lot of fun things for kids. So, if you and your kids are a little tired of Dubai city tour, take a break and do some fun things.
Dubai is full of surprises. This desert land is the last place where you would think of seeing snow. However, it is true. There is a place in Dubai where you can see snow and even play in it. Yes, we are talking about Ski Dubai and Snow Park. It is the world’s largest indoor theme park and is located inside the Emirates Mall. While the ski park and snow world has something for people of all ages, kids would definitely enjoy the most. It gives them the opportunity to clad in winter wear, making a snowman and having a snow fight anytime during the year. Apart from the 3000 square meters of snow, kids can enjoy the Snow Cavern, Tobogganing hills, and Twin Track Bobsled, etc. at the snow park.
Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo
The Dubai Aquarium inside the Dubai Mall is an enchanting place. Consisting of a 10-million litre tank, the aquarium is home to around 1000 aquatic animals amongst 140 species.

A tour of the aquarium tunnel would give you the chance to see different species of aquatic animals like sand tiger sharks, stingrays, etc. If you want to have a closer look at the inhabitants of the aquarium, you can go on a glass bottom boat tour, and if you are bolder, you can also go on a tour where you can swim with the sharks.
Nevertheless, the tour does not end at the end of the aquarium tunnel. Rather, it leads you to the underwater zoo where you get to see and meet animals that live under the ocean as well as the river. This place houses different species of underwater animals like otters, water rats, garden eels, Humbolt Penguins, lionfish, paddlefish, giant spider crabs, African dwarf crocodiles, seahorses, etc. The underwater zoo is divided into three ecological zones which are Rocky Shore, Living Ocean, and Rainforest. A few hours at the aquarium and zoo would definitely be a lot of fun for you and your kids.
