The Dubai Mall is the ultimate family entertainment destination with The Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, the Olympic-sized Dubai Ice Rink, the children’s ‘edutainment’ concept Kidzania and a massive indoor cinema complex – just some of the ways to keep everyone busy.

Don’t miss the indoor fountain (one of the most photographed spots in the mall), or The Village, which features a retractable roof opened in the winter months to offer shoppers an outdoor experience. There is also direct access to the five-star Address Dubai Mall, ensuring a seamless shopping experience for hotel guests.

The world’s largest mall has also grown even larger with the 2019 opening of Dubai Mall Zabeel, a significant expansion that welcomed a host of new lifestyle experiences, dining options, retail options and 3,000 new parking spaces. The new Zabeel extension adds almost 15,000sqm of lifestyle space, with an incredible array of art on display – all linked by a fully air-conditioned link bridge from The Dubai Mall.
