What are some family-friendly vacation spots for children?
Dubai is the perfect destination for a family vacation, offering entertainment for all ages. Dubai Miracle Garden is a huge flower park with giant installations made of millions of living flowers. I watched children run excitedly among the floral castles and fairytale characters. KidZania in Dubai Mall is an interactive city for kids where they can try different professions, from firefighter to doctor. My nephew was thrilled “working” in a bakery and getting paid in play money. The Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, also in Dubai Mall, offers the chance to see sharks, penguins and even dive in a cage among marine predators. And Legoland Dubai is every child’s dream, where all the rides are made from the famous LEGO bricks.
