Start your trip by visiting the Dubai Miracle Garden, the world's largest flower garden that is open from November to May. Admire the beauty of more than 45 million blooming flowers arranged in various shapes and designs, including the heart-shaped floral structures, and the record-breaking Emirates A380 floral installation. The garden also has a butterfly garden, a flower-covered vintage car, and an aromatic herb garden.
Escape the heat and head to the Ski Dubai indoor ski resort in the Mall of the Emirates. Go skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, or meet the penguins in the snow park. The resort has different slopes and packages for different skill levels and ages. You can rent the necessary gear and enjoy the snow even if you don't have any prior experience.
End your trip on a high note by visiting the Dubai Parks and Resorts, an entertainment complex with four theme parks: Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai, Legoland Dubai, and Legoland Water Park Dubai. Choose your favourite park or buy a combo ticket to access all of them. The parks have thrilling roller coasters, 4D shows, live entertainment, and kid-friendly water rides. Enjoy the charm of Bollywood, the magic of Legos, and the adventure of Hollywood movies.
If you have more time, you can visit other family-friendly attractions such as Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, The Green Planet Dubai, or KidZania Dubai. If you have less time, you can visit the top two attractions (Dubai Miracle Garden and Ski Dubai) and combine them with a mall visit or a desert safari. Make sure to check the opening and closing times of the attractions and book your tickets in advance to avoid waiting in lines.
