Dubai is not only a hub for futuristic architecture and luxury shopping but also a vibrant city filled with enriching experiences for families. For parents looking to combine fun with learning, the city offers a wealth of educational activities tailored for curious young minds. At SOLMA GROW, we believe that real-world exploration is one of the most powerful ways to nurture a child's growth. Here are some of our favourite educational activities to explore with your children in Dubai.
1. The Green Planet
Step into a lush tropical rainforest right in the heart of the city. The Green Planet is home to over 3,000 species of plants and animals, making it a fantastic place for kids to learn about ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. Interactive exhibits and animal encounters provide hands-on learning opportunities that align with many school curriculums.
2. OliOli Children's Museum
Designed specifically for experiential learning, OliOli is a wonderland of creativity and science. With themed galleries like Toshi’s Net, Future Park, and Water Gallery, children can explore concepts like physics, engineering, and art in a hands-on, playful environment.
3. Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
Located in Dubai Mall, this massive aquarium offers children a glimpse into marine biology. Educational programs, behind-the-scenes tours, and interactive experiences help children learn about aquatic life, conservation, and the importance of ocean health.
Post visit idea: Encourage your child to draw their favorite sea creature afterward and turn it into a DIY sticker activity (tip: our Dubai Sticker book has a page dedicated to Dubai Aquarium).
4. Al Fahidi Historical District & Dubai Museum
For a journey back in time, explore the heritage-rich Al Fahidi district. The Dubai Museum offers insight into the Emirate’s cultural history, traditional life, and transformation over the decades. It's a great way to introduce children to the idea of history and storytelling.
5. Desert Safari & Camel Farm Visits
Introduce your child to the natural beauty of the UAE’s deserts. A guided desert safari or a visit to a camel farm can teach children about desert ecosystems, Bedouin traditions, and animal care. These experiences ground children in the geography and culture of the land they live in.
Extend the adventure: Use our puzzles to spark a storytelling session about their desert day!
