And all of a sudden, our Spring Break has been moved a week earlier – starting from Saturday 7th March, until Sunday 22nd March, coinciding with Ramadan and ending with Eid Al Fitr. With the Ministry of Education announcing that nurseries are to remain closed during this time, and limited flights going out of Dubai, parents (ourselves, included) must be wondering – what we are we going to do with the kids over this two weeks break? Yes – it is crazy what’s going on in the region right now – but look, we’re still here, and we’re all safe – so let’s just make the most of what we can do in the UAE.

If you feel comfortable enough to go out – here’s a little list of family events and offers that are on over the Spring Break. Stay safe.

Take the kids to a Family-friendly Iftar

As it is still Ramadan for most of the Spring Break – it’s a good time to take the little ones to a family-friendly Iftar here in Dubai. A lot of venues have indoor options if you are more comfortable there with the family. There are of course outdoor options, and some, are next to the hotel’s playgrounds, or set up by the beach as well. For a list of venues – to include all relevant offers, see : Best Family-friendly Iftars in Dubai – Ramadan 2026.

Featured : Tagine at One&Only Royal Mirage Dubai

Family Pool & Beach Day with the Little Ones

The weather is still perfect for a pool and beach day in Dubai, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable taking the kids for a splash, and to build some sandcastles – there’s lots of family-friendly pools and beaches at various hotels and golf clubs around Dubai. A lot of venues have temporarily reduced their day pass rates, making it a lot more affordable for UAE Residents. See : Dubai Pool & Beach Day Passes 2026 – The Ultimate List for all the rates, so you can plan ahead and do something a little fun altogether as a family.

Featured : Banyan Tree in Bluewaters with a shallow family pool, and beautiful beach with rolling waves. Day Pass Rate from 10th March onwards : 250 AED Fully Redeemable All Week | 75 AED 4-11 Years Old Fully Redeemable. Tip : You can also take advantage of their Serenity by the Sea offer – where you book any spa treatment and enjoy complimentary pool and beach access for the day!

Free Waterpark

From Tuesday 10th March, to Sunday 22nd March over the Spring Break – entry to Aquaventure Waterpark is completely complimentary. This is limited to 4 tickets per transaction and has to be reserved on aquaventureworld.com. Payment will only be taken when you are at the venue. Big thanks to Aquaventure for this generous gesture.

Breakfast with the Kids

Tired of prepping breakfast at home? Head over to a buffet breakfast in a Dubai hotel. For most, kids under 6 eat free and there are lots of offers for adults, so it does become quite pocket-friendly. It will be a nice ‘change of scenery’ for the family. See : Ultimate Guide to Dubai Hotel Buffets for Families.

Spend a day out, to see animals

It’s still cool enough to head outdoors – so why not take the kids to the various farms, parks and lakes to see some animals? A bit of fresh air, and something fun for the little ones. Feed the goats at the Animal Sanctuary in Sustainability City, spend a day at Dubai Safari Park, or head over to Jumeirah Al Naseem to learn about the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project (featured below). You can venture out further for a road trip to the UAE Flower Farm in Fujairah, or the Emirates Bio Farm in Al Ain. See : Where to see Animals in Dubai : Farms, Parks, Lakes & More

Saturday & Sunday Family Brunches

Whilst some family brunches will be on hold over the first two weekends of the Spring Break as it’s Ramadan – all will be back on just before school starts. To get a good idea of what’s on and what’s not, see : Best Family Brunches in Dubai 2026 : Tried & Tested.

Indoor Attractions

If you’re more comfortable staying indoors – which is understandable, don’t worry – there’s lots of indoor attractions you can head to with the kids. Go for some snow play at Ski Dubai, spend all day at House of Hype, say hi to the animals in The Green Planet. As the weather is still fairly cool outside – most of these attractions have offers, which helps! See : Top Indoor Attractions for Kids in Dubai
