Now that Dubai’s outdoor season is finally here, it’s time to swap the air-conditioned malls for a little adventure in nature. And if your children have energy to burn, Aventura Parks might be just the place to take them.
Set across 35,000 square metres of natural Ghaf forest in Mushrif Park, Dubai’s largest zipline and rope adventure park is back for its 2026–2027 season, offering families a chance to climb, swing and zip their way through the treetops.
There are five adventure circuits to tackle, featuring more than 80 obstacles and 24 ziplines. Expect wobbly bridges, rope nets and, for those feeling particularly brave, the famous Tarzan Jump. The circuits cater to different abilities and ages, with participation determined by height, so there’s something for both cautious beginners and more confident little daredevils.
Younger children who aren’t quite tall enough for the harnessed adventures can explore the Discovery Playground, while families can also enjoy the park’s natural surroundings and take a walk along its Nature Trail to discover some of the UAE’s native flora and fauna.
And when everyone’s worked up an appetite, there’s The Ghafé, the park’s outdoor dining spot, serving everything from freshly brewed coffee and traditional Emirati luqaimat to pizzas, pasta and smoothies. From December, visitors can also enjoy live music on Saturdays.
Aventura also offers birthday parties, school holiday camps for children aged five to 12, and outdoor team-building activities.
Planning a visit? Aventura Parks is open Friday to Sunday, as well as school and public holidays, from 11am to 8pm, with last entry at 6pm. You’ll find it inside Mushrif Park, best accessed through Gate 1 via Al Khawaneej Street.
