Global Village is bringing back one of its most-loved family events, The Wonderers’ Kids Fest, and it’s set to be bigger, brighter and packed with fun.

Running for 45 days from January 9 to February 15, the outdoor festival invites kids aged 3 to 12 to enjoy daily games, activities and surprises from 4pm to 10pm, right next to the Kids’ Theatre.

Best part? It’s included in the Global Village entry ticket, with no extra charges.

The season kicks off with a special drone show at 7:20pm on Friday, January 9, setting the stage for weeks of family fun during Dubai’s cooler winter evenings.

Children can dive into oversized games like the giant Snakes and Ladders board (a former Guinness World Record holder), Giant Battleship, life-sized 4 in a Row, and supersized Stack’Em, designed for both younger and older kids.

Kids can also become captains and sail on a life-size Pirate Battleship where they and navigate the seas in a swashbuckling adventure. 

Beyond the games, families can enjoy free face painting, balloon modellers, inflatable clown parades, and magical bubble blizzards. There will also be meet-and-greet sessions with The Wonderers mascots, plus small giveaways for participating children.

The Wonderers’ Kids Fest adds to Global Village’s growing list of family-focused attractions as Season 30 continues to welcome visitors.
