Lasting just over two months, this Dubai summer event single handedly pulls crowds to its enclaves and leaves its patrons begging for more. Though at first glance it seems like a great place for the kids to spend their summer holidays, the adults get hooked on soon enough. It’s not just the colours, the flamboyance or the cheery nature at the venue, it is also the food, and the excitement and the joy of seeing the children have the time of their life.
‘Modhesh’ is the official mascot of the summer surprise initiative; he is a well behaved role model for all children while being their best friend as well. The yellow squiggly creature with a broad and bright smile plastered to his face has come to stay since the year 2001 as he is so warmly cherished.
The entertainment arena is split into several vividly hued halls, where education is cleverly intertwined with entertainment to ensure the children have a rewarding experience during their summer break. The universally loved bumper cars are probably the most heavily patronized area at Modhesh World, while Magic Planet, Science Planetarium, Arts and Crafts Zone and the Doscovert Centre are the areas that parents try to lure the children to. After a while the kids become hooked to the novel learning experience.
Ballerina and Girl’s Zone are two dedicated areas that cater to the pretty, young damsels who appreciate more feminine activities, while the Toddler Zone and the Soft Play Area are ideal for the delicate little ones who need lots of cushioning to prevent any discomfort. There is a special kiddies restaurant that serves food suitable for consumption by even the smallest child, with less spice, oil and more variety and colour.
The UAE hotels that are almost always packed to the brim have to really stretch themselves to house the flow of Modhesh World fans who make it a point to book Middle East hotels well in advance and reside for a considerable number of days. The Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Middle East is one of the more desired locations of these fun finding travelers.
