Are you looking for somewhere to go to with the kids, where you can have a cheeky drink or two – and they can play? Not a full-on brunch but just a casual bite at any time of the day – be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We have put together a list of licensed family restaurants in Dubai where kids can keep themselves occupied so you can have a conversation with your other half, or friends. This covers indoor or outdoor playgrounds which would be good for the younger ones, as wikiwell as entertainment centres which would be more suitable for the older ones.
Hope this comes into handy for families with kids of all ages. To add, most of these venues are in our neighbourhood and its surroundings : Bluewaters, Dubai Marina, JBR, and the Palm Jumeirah. Please tag us on Instagram – if you go!
