I've been there over the weekend and I enjoyed it. I don't think the full day will be enough to cover the whole thing. Not exaggerating because of the park size but some queues are really long. Plus, at times, they are having technical issues that causes delay. I would suggest to come at opening times and take your lunch/brunch before you go to save some time from eating.
Regarding the soft play area - I don't think they actually have one. Although there is like a playground but didn't really checked it out. However, there is a live show in Cartoon Network area where the characters from Lazy Town are featured. Your daughter will enjoy it. Lots of dancing and singing.
Some attractions are timed. Like the Haunted hotel which is a hit for me are timed every 1.5 hours. I suggest you do that one first as the line goes really long later during the day.
Main courses are priced at min AED 40. We bought churros for 10 dhs each. I was a bit shocked, thought it was 3 for 10 AED but I guess that should be expected. Water is 5 AED and softdrinks are 7 AED. There are variety of restaurants, from Indian, continental and western, and stalls from here and there.
There are plenty of benches so you can take a break from the walking. The rides aren't too far from each other as well.
I think your son will enjoy it and the money will be worth it for him.
Looks like during long Eid holidays we are stuck in Dubai without DH, so I was wondering if anyone's already been there and can you share your experience?
I have a 9-year old son, who I think would really enjoy those rides but I also have a 20-month old toddler daughter - is there anything for such young children (at least some soft play area)?
The tickets are quite expensive so I wanted to get more information before we actually go there.
TIA
