For thrill-seekers
Close your eyes and hold on tight – there is so much adventure to be found at the Dubai Hills Mall. At this stage, we’ve all heard about the insane indoor rollercoaster ‘The Storm’ that is… well, taking the city by storm. This is not an experience to miss, especially with prices starting at just Dhs49. The Storm is a high-octane indoor rollercoaster with twists and turns, inclines and massive dives that are definitely not for the faint-hearted. Expect non-stop action throughout the two-and-a-half minute ride that will leave you breathless and elated all at the same time.
The Adventure Park by Emaar comprises of 11 different elements; the Jump Park, Ninja Park and Cave Maze to name just a few. Jump Park is the perfect place to exhaust little people (and adults too) – bounce the day away on enormous trampolines. Test your balance, coordination and agility at the Ninja Park and for smaller children head to The Playground, is the perfect safe space to explore, interact and engage with other kids. From slides, big and small to a huge ball pit, they will be entertained for hours.
Prices into the Adventure Park start at Dhs89. Book your tickets at entertainment.emaar.com.
