Modhesh world
Walking on water is not impossible any more, thanks to the Water Walker — an exciting and innovative play equipment brought to Modhesh World this year.
A waterproof clear sphere pumped full of fresh air, sealed and then released onto the shaded water of a custom built pool, children can float safely on water and literally walk on water.
"I had an amazing time kicking at the water below and slamming the ball against Abdulaziz's. It was sheer fun. I also loved sitting in the balloon like I was a princess," said ten year old Ragad Bin Mehfouz from Saudi Arabia.
"I also enjoyed myself immensely. It was fun trying to cycle and the make the ball spin around me while trying to keep my balance. It was more fun slamming against her balloon when she was pretending to be a princess," said her cousin Abdul Aziz Al Sirazy.
Modhesh World doors are open from 10.00am to 10.00pm (Saturday to Wednesday), 10.00am to midnight (Thursdays), and 3.00pm to midnight on Fridays. Tickets to the venue are priced at AED 10 for adults and AED 15 for children with numerous free zones and exciting activities.
