Expo 2020 Dubai: Check out the highlights of the Kid’s Winter Festival

It’s time. As winter sweeps the land with a cool breeze and temperatures relax enough to allow outdoor plans, it’s the perfect period to head to Expo 2020. It helps that the schools are on a break and a merry time is afoot. But if you really want to hear your child’s squeal of pleasure, head on over to The Kid’s Winter Festival, running until January 8 at Festival Garden, Wadi Avenue, Jubilee Park. Here’s a look at the reasons to drive over… now.

It’s a financially friendly visit – you pay for a day pass (Dh95 for the month) and kids and young adults i.e. those under 18, get in for free. The festival is on from noon until 12am weekdays and 2am weekends, which means you can spend the whole day here even if you don’t take a break to hit the pavilions, which – trust us – you will.

There are bouncy castles that are sure to thrill the young ones as they jump and play. | Photo for illustrative purposes only.

When you head to this colourful splace, you’ll also notice an inflatable park. On these grounds, each day there are a tonne of activities – including a treasure hunt.

Does your child fancy himself/herself a superhero? Check out the face painting stand where they can get their own customized mask.

Oh, and there arts and crafts and a magician – you know, in case boredom dares to rear its head. With food trucks on hand to fuel the fun, DJs, movie screenings and sporting events, this trip will be one the whole family will love.

Between Sunday and Wednesday, all kids under eight eat free when their parents order a meal. For a list of places where kids eat free at the Expo, go to https://gn24.ae/cbb0ed933930000
