Save money: Children can now stay for free at Dubai’s top hotels and attractions for the summer

Dubai: Are you looking to save money on your family’s summer vacation in Dubai? How about a free hotel stay for children? Or free entry at popular attractions and theme parks? The ‘Kids Go Free’ campaign, launched by Visit Dubai, the emirate’s official tourism platform, is a limited-time offer and allows children to stay for free at many of Dubai's luxury hotels, and get deals at attractions and theme parks.

Many hotels are also offering additional perks such as complimentary meals, free play sessions, and family friendly activities. So if, you're planning a family holiday in Dubai, here’s all you need to know about the Kids Go Free offer.

When is the offer valid?

The majority of 'Kids Go Free' summer hotel deals are valid on stays between June and August 2024, with a few hotel offers even valid until September 30. It is important to contact your specific hotel to check the terms and conditions before booking.

What is the age limit?

Many hotels are extending the offer to children up to the age of 12, which means children who are currently 12 years old are also included. Some hotels, however, have an age limit of ‘under 12 years of age’. For theme parks and attractions, each venue has an age limit, which you can find out when making your booking.

Which hotels are a part of the offer?

The 'Kids Go Free' summer deal is available across more than 100 hotels in the city, from five-star hotels to more budget-friendly options. There are also several beachside hotels that are providing the offer.

How can I get the discount on hotel stays?

The way to book your stay using the 'Kids Go Free' deal is by visiting the hotel’s website and clicking on the 'Book Now' button. This will take you to the hotel’s booking portal, where you will have to enter the number of adults and children in your party. The discount will be automatically applied in most cases. Some hotels may require a promo code, which can be found on their website or by contacting them directly.
