If you’re wondering where the real Eid party is happening this year, let us save you the scroll — it’s all going down at Umm Al Emarat Park. Picture this: the scent of freshly baked goodies wafting in the air, laughter echoing from every corner, magic tricks making jaws drop, and a camel possibly photobombing your selfie. Yes, it’s that kind of fabulous.
And guess what? You don’t need to break the bank to join the fun — entry is just 10 AED per person. That’s cheaper than your iced latte. The Park is open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM, giving you plenty of time to soak in the vibes (and maybe some sun too).
The Eid Scene Is Lit (Literally)
From clowns pulling tricks out of their sleeves to magicians making your stress disappear — the entertainment lineup is nothing short of dazzling. Got tiny humans with endless energy? Park them at the interactive gaming zone or lose them (not literally!) in whimsical storytelling sessions.
And just when you think it can’t get better… cue the African drummers bringing in infectious beats and an LED light show that’ll make your Insta stories sparkle. Catch all that glittery goodness daily from 5PM to 9PM at the Children’s Garden. You’re welcome.
Kids, Assemble!
Let’s be real: happy kids = happy life. And Umm Al Emarat Park totally gets that. They’ve gone all out with a bubble house so epic, even adults may feel a little FOMO. There’s also a LEGO zone, a bouncy jumping castle, and a charming children’s train choo-chooing through scenic spots like a little adventure on rails.
Plus, Kidz Factory is bringing hands-on activities that will make your kid’s creativity pop louder than the popcorn you’re definitely going to be buying later.
Falcon Show = Pure UAE Magic
Get ready to be wowed at the Falcon Show — it’s got elegance, tradition, and some serious wingspan action. From 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Amphitheatre, watch these majestic birds flex their skills across the sky. Then, head over to the Children’s Garden until 7:00 PM for an up-close moment with these feathered legends. Yes, photos are a must.
Animal Encounters & Pony Goals
For the little animal lovers (and the grown-ups who “just want to watch”), the Animal Barn is straight-up adorable. Feed the animals, cuddle the cuties, or go for a ride — pony and camel rides are just 15 AED, and petting/feeding is only 10 AED. It’s open 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily, aka prime time for wholesome, heart-melting moments.
Splash Zone: Activated
When the sun gets a little extra, just head straight to the wadi and water fountains in the Children’s Garden. This little oasis of splishy-splashy joy is open 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and we highly recommend bringing a change of clothes… for everyone. Trust us on this one.
Eat Like You Mean It
After all that action, you’re going to be ravenous — and the Park’s food lineup is not here to disappoint. From gourmet bites at Parker’s, Salt, Home Bakery, and Farmer’s Bistro, to snacky delights from Green for Life, Kids Factory, Sugar Art, and more — it’s basically a mini food festival with every craving covered. Sweet, savoury, healthy-ish? It’s all here.
So, What Are You Waiting For?
Grab your crew, prep your festive fits, and make Umm Al Emarat Park your ultimate Eid destination. It’s got the sparkle, the snacks, the sunshine (okay, and maybe a little sweat), and all the soul-warming moments you could wish for.
