If there’s one thing the UAE knows how to do well, it’s celebrating — and this National Day, Leo & Loona is turning the joy dial all the way up. Think a full week of creativity, culture, colour, and more “aww” family moments than your phone storage can handle. From 25th November to 3rd December, both Dalma Mall and Yas Mall locations are transforming into imagination-powered celebration hubs where kids, parents, and even that one super-serious uncle cannot resist joining in.
This isn’t just another themed week — it’s where heritage meets hands-on fun, and where family bonding feels less like an activity and more like an adventure. Expect flag parades, messy art time (the good kind), storytelling sessions, discovery trails, and craft corners where glitter will absolutely follow you home. And honestly? We’re here for it.
Leo & Loona – Dalma Mall
At Dalma Mall, Leo & Loona turns into the kind of vibrant celebration space that makes you want to channel your inner child. Every day brings something new — family collage-making, multi-age craft workshops, flag hunts, and activities that get parents and kids creating together rather than just… supervising.
There’s also a beautiful cultural exchange circle where children from all backgrounds can explore UAE heritage through stories, interactive moments, and shared creativity. It’s soft, it’s wholesome, and it’s the kind of vibe that reminds you exactly why you love this country.
And parents, don’t think you’re left out. The on-site restaurant is serving UAE Flag Latte Art and flag-themed desserts — the kind of treats that justify taking a photo before the first bite.
When: 25th November – 3rd December
Where: Leo & Loona, Dalma Mall, Abu Dhabi
Tickets: From AED 179 for Unlimited Day Pass
Leo & Loona – Yas Mall
Over at Yas Mall, the celebrations march to an even livelier beat — starting with a flag-raising ceremony and the national anthem, guaranteeing at least one goosebump moment per visitor.
Kids can unleash their sparkle-loving, ribbon-sticking, sticker-layering imagination at the mini flag personalisation corners. These hands-on activities are not only adorable but secretly brilliant for building motor skills and confidence.
Craft stations invite every age group to join in, turning parents and kids into co-creators (and occasional glitter rivals). Meanwhile, the super-popular Flag Hunt Game mixes cultural learning with playful problem-solving. Families team up, chase clues and uncover UAE-themed surprises — it’s like a mini treasure hunt with big patriotic vibes.
When: 25th November – 3rd December

A Celebration of Families, Feelings & the UAE Spirit
As Elizaveta Rossiiskaia, GCC Manager at Leo & Loona, puts it:
“Our National Day celebrations are designed to bring families together through experiences that spark creativity, pride, and emotional connection.”
And that’s exactly what shines through. Each Leo & Loona park may have its own personality, but they share the same heartbeat — creating joyful, meaningful moments for families. Whether it’s a toddler making their first-ever handprint or a parent rediscovering the fun of play (it happens!), every activity is built to support childhood development and emotional wellbeing.
This National Day week isn’t just a celebration of the UAE — it’s a celebration of the people who call it home.
