Alright parents, buckle up—and maybe grab a coffee—because we’ve got some seriously exciting news from the land of glitter, giggles, and high-energy kids who never seem to run out of steam (how do they do it?!). We’re talking about Hello Park at Dubai Festival City Mall, and let us tell you, it just leveled up in a BIG way.
This isn’t your average indoor playground with a ball pit and a few slides. Nope. Hello Park is more like if a theme park, a science museum, and a Pixar movie had a really fun baby. And now, with its shiny new attractions and a drool-worthy menu to match, it’s basically the coolest spot in town—where your kid can build their own avatar, dig up a dino, and party on Mars… all before lunch.
Space Missions & Martian Celebrations? Yes, Please.
First stop: space. Because Earth is so last season.
Kids can now jump into a galactic new game led by none other than Rocky the Fox, the universe’s most fabulous space guide. This isn’t just your typical space-themed corner—it’s a fully interactive, digital, planet-hopping quest. The mission? Help Rocky plan the ultimate party on Mars (yes, really) by visiting planets, solving challenges, and recruiting some delightfully quirky guests. Like adorable robots from Venus and a hilariously cranky alien named GI’org on Jupiter who may or may not need a nap.
It’s teamwork, imagination, and interstellar fun wrapped into one whirlwind adventure. And spoiler alert: it’s so engaging that you might want to join in yourself. (Go on, no one’s judging.)
Avatar Park: Where Kids Are the Stars
Next up is Avatar Park—the place where kids don’t just play the game, they are the game.
This immersive experience lets little ones design their very own digital characters through something called the Quest Portal (which sounds like a sci-fi movie, but is way more fun). They can track progress, unlock custom costumes, and earn Hello Pluses (park currency = very exciting). Think of it as a real-life video game where every challenge completed powers up their character. It’s creative, interactive, and—let’s be real—makes every single visit feel like a brand-new adventure.
(Also: if you hear the words “Can we go to Hello Park again?” for the third time this week, now you know why.)
Dig It: Dino Workshop Gets a Mega Upgrade
Calling all junior paleontologists and future fossil fanatics: the Dinosaur Workshop just got a serious glow-up.
This hands-on experience is the UAE’s first of its kind, and it’s all about taking a deep dive into the prehistoric past. Kids can dig for fossils (yes, with real tools!), identify ancient bones, and even make their own take-home fossil. It’s equal parts science, creativity, and just the right amount of messy fun. Basically, Jurassic Park… but with more learning and less danger.
After the Fun: Refuel Like a Foodie Family
Now, let’s talk food. Because even the most adventurous kids need to refuel after flying through galaxies and excavating T-Rex teeth.
Hello Park’s new menu? Chef’s kiss. It’s playful, inventive, and honestly, kind of a foodie paradise. First up: Pistachio Kunafa Waffle—a crispy, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece that might just cause a family fork war.
Then there’s everything from Dynamite Shrimp Bowls to Goat Cheese Brûlée Salad, Burrata & Turkey Focaccia, and even Truffle & Mushroom Pizza for your tiny (or not-so-tiny) gourmands. Whether you’re in the mood for bold flavors or something fresh and light, this menu is doing the most—in the best way possible.
So, Why Hello Park?
Because it’s not just a place to play—it’s a place where kids learn without realizing they’re learning, explore without boundaries, and burn energy in the most joyful, imaginative ways. It’s a space that keeps growing and evolving, just like your little ones.
From birthday blowouts to spontaneous Saturday adventures, Hello Park is always bringing something new to the table (and now, something delicious too). So grab your sneakers, charge your phone for a million photo ops, and get ready to make some magical memories.
