Exclusive Experiences for the Whole Family

If you’re searching for a place to drop off the kids while you explore your favourite brands, Al Maryah Island has you covered with not one, not two, but three exclusive first-to-the-region family-friendly experiences. The Island has the Middle East’s first-ever National Geographic Ultimate Explorer, a family edutainment concept with a fully immersive play-based learning experience. Complementing this Zero Latency is the first free-roam virtual reality experience in the emirate. If that wasn’t exciting enough, Mission Play! By Mattel – a family entertainment centre featuring family favourite brands such as Barbie, Blox & Hot Wheels – is set to open this year.

All these exclusive options add to already outstanding entertainment options at The Galleria including Abu Dhabi’s largest theatre – a 21-screen VOX Cinemas with IMAX, dedicated KIDS screens and elevated dining concept Theatre – children’s favourite Xtreme Zone, Caboodle play centre and three urban rooftop parks dedicated to sports, family and leisure.

Speaking of adventures, Al Maryah Island’s ACTIVE is the place to be for fitness fanatics. A world-class athletic offer, it houses Abu Dhabi’s only full-size indoor football pitch, which serves as a state-of-the-art practice and match facility. ACTIVE also oversees 11 academies pursuing eight different sporting options such as football, tennis, basketball, cycling, futsal, handball, netball, padel, roller skating, volleyball and more, with the likes of La Liga, City Football Schools, Baynounah SC, and Zayed Sports Academy coming to train. The facility welcomed 145,000 visitors last year.
