Summer in Dubai has always been associated with cool shopping centers, nighttime outings, and family entertainment; however, this year the city has a special offer for families.

Dubai has launched a new campaign titled "Kids Go Free" that runs during the school holidays, allowing families to enjoy free services for children at many hotels, tourist attractions, and entertainment centers.

The idea behind this initiative is simple; adults pay the costs while children stay free in many cases, eat meals, or enter attractions.

In some participating hotels, including Yas Plaza Hotel and Riviera Dubai Hotel, children under 12 can stay in their parents' room at no extra charge and enjoy the same meal plan.

This initiative can significantly reduce the costs of summer vacations for families of four without compromising the quality of travel or family entertainment.

Among the attractions included in this campaign are names like Burj Khalifa, The View at The Palm, Museum of the Future, La Perle show, Dubai Crocodile Park, Expo City Dubai, Madame Tussauds Museum, and Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.

According to the terms of this initiative, in many of these locations, one child can enter for free with each adult holding a ticket. Some cinemas and indoor entertainment centers have also provided free access for children during specific hours.

Of course, the terms of use vary at each venue, and families should check the restrictions regarding children's ages, the number of accompanying guests, and the applicable dates before making a reservation.

For residents of the UAE, this campaign could be one of the best opportunities of summer 2026; a chance to visit Dubai's most popular attractions at a lower cost and with a more family-oriented experience.
