Indoor Birthday Parties For Kids

September doesn’t just mean back to school, mamas, it’s also the start of birthday party season and your little (or big) ones are going to expect a cool celebration, even when the weather’s still hot. Check out some of these awesome venues  – it’s time to get the party started (indoors!).

dubai-aquarium-party-with-otter

Dubai Aquarium

Would your birthday person like to share his/her celebrations with an otter? We thought so! And hanging out with this cute creature is simply one of the super cool activities on offer with the birthday package at Dubai Aquarium. Home to over 140 species of aquatic animals, little party goers will get the chance to have a guided tour and visit the Aquarium Tunnel experience, complete with sharks and rays plus take a trip in a glass-bottom boat and feed the fish at the Underwater Observation Deck. But it’s the otter who wins our hearts – after helping to make toys for this cute creature, kids will learn about the species and assist trainers with animal training behaviours – AMAZING! And to top it all off, little guests will be treated to games themed around the rainforest and animal care. Sounds wild.

2-hour party packages are offered every day except Wednesdays at 12pm2pm4pm and 6pm and include an otter encounter session, activities and guided tour for a maximum of 20 guests (including adults) at a cost of AED 2,800.
Outside decorations and food will not be considered for health and safety reasons but a special rate of AED 40 per kids meal is available at Rainforest Café and themed goody bags can be organised at an additional cost.

Dubai Ice Rink

Is there anything cooler than putting your party on ice?! No, thought not. It’s time for your birthday kid to get his/her skates on and glide their way through their party at the awesome Dubai Ice Rink!  This Olympic-size rink comes with all sorts of exciting activities with birthday packages featuring options including snowfall (imagine that, skating under falling snow #magical) and disco and DJ skating sessions. Each party option offers a 30 minute skating sesh accompanied by a specialized Dubai Ice Rink instructor (who’s on hand to help make sure everyone is safe and to deal with any tumbles) plus skate hire, free helmet rental (we’re all about safety, mamas), delicious meals for party guests and commemorative photos of the special day – yippee!

And if you want to add even more fun to the mix, additional entertainment options such as mascot appearances, snowmen or penguin pals (no, not real ones but super cute skate aids) and longer supervised sessions are also available. Available everyday, birthday party packages are tailor-made according to your (or rather your kiddo’s) needs. Time to break the ice and get those invites out, mamas!
