Having spent all week at school, your child probably has a lot of pent up energy that they’ll need to channel into some sort of activity otherwise expect your house to turn upside down.

And with the weekend nearing, parents are already dreading the question: “What’re we doing this weekend?”

Then parents must search for fun activities that will not only entertain their children but are suitable for the whole family so that no one is left behind.

And while watching your children have fun is extremely heartwarming, it’s not fair to you or other members of your family to sit and watch – family activities should be catered to let the whole family participate and have a great time doing so.

So don’t worry, we’ve already compiled the PERFECT list of activities that the whole family can do this weekend and without paying huge sums of money for tickets.

1. Play with real snow at Ski Dubai

If you’re looking for an activity to beat the heat, then this is the perfect one for you – AED189 will grant you a Polar Pass to Ski Dubai to live as a Polar bear.

You’ll be able to play in the snow, use the chairlift ride, kick the giant ball around and use the mountain thriller – and you don’t even know how to ski.

Something different than the usual, your whole family will thank you for showing them REAL snow in the Arabian Desert.
