So to give a bit of background it is National Day weekend here in the UAE which means we get a 4 day weekend as opposed to the usual 2 🙌. Many people we know have jetsetted off to places near and far but we decide to have a rather chilled one before the madness of Christmas really does in sue.
However we knew we would take a trip to Dubai so that we could finally visit Dubai Garden Glow.
In the morning we went down to the pool for a little swim and a play and then after lunch we piled into the mini and got on the road. The littles napped on route which was great as I knew it would be a late one.
When we arrived we chilled out at the Mall of Emirates and had some food at ihop which was great! We have never been there before and the littles were so excited. I had half a stack of white chocolate and raspberry pancakes, the littles had funny face pancakes and Sam has chicken with waffles. Safe to say we were stuffed.
Once it was dark we drove over to Dubai Garden Glow. If you fancy a visit I would recommend you get there ready for darkness or park somewhere else and get in a taxi as there is no where near enough parking! That is the only real negative about it though.
Honestly we had such a lovely, lovely time. There are different parts to the park, the glow park, the art park, the dinosaur park and the ice park. You do need to pay extra for the ice park but do, it is SO worth it.
There is lots to see so gear yourself up for a couple of hours of walking. Posey and Lochlann coped really well though as they were so entertained by it all. A wow a minute came from their happy little faces and it was just so cute.
Tips:
As I said arrive before it gets dark so you can get a parking spot or get a taxi to take you there
Don't necessary bother booking online as you still need to queue to get your paper ticket which allows you to enter the park
Wear comfy shoes and socks (to keep you comfy and to keep you warm if you decide to go to the ice park)
Take some cash if you think you might get peckish as there are plenty of food stands in the park
Rather than listening to me ramble take a look at some of the photos below...
We paid 100aed per person to gain entry into all the parks but children age 3 and under get in for free so we didn't pay for Lochlann! Although it isn't cheap I would say it is TOTALLY worth a visit. Posey and Lochlann are already begging to visit again.
My favourite park was the ice park closely followed by the glow park, Sam loved the glow park, Posey's favourite part was the ice park & Lochlann loved the dinosaur part of the park.
If you visit I would love to hear from you, let me know which part of the park was your favorite!
