Unsure how to keep your kids entertained? Zayed Sport City’s “Big Weekend” has you covered — at least for three days. Between October 30 and November 1, the facility is offering “games, sports activities, arts and crafts and light-hearted entertainment”.

“It’s a great way for families to have fun and get active, offering an impressive array of entertainment to keep our guests smiling all through the weekend,” said Barry Bremner, General Manager of Zayed Sports City, in a press release.

“The event sees kids being kids again. We’re providing a unique and healthy entertainment outlet that is well distanced from TVs and computer screens.”

Amongst all the activities on offer, children will be able to play soapy soccer, jump in a bouncy castle and try their hand at football, tennis, rugby or basketball. Meanwhile, animal-lovers can enjoy a petting zoo and creative types can browse a handicrafts bazaar.

The three days also promise competitions, youth performances and a chance to take pictures with stilt-walkers, jugglers and cartoon characters.

As for teens and adults? A high-octane obstacle course and a bungee run will keep them occupied.

*Prices for tickets to Zayed Sports City’s Big Weekend are Dh50 for a day pass, whilst a family ticket (two adults and two children for one day) is available for Dh180. The cost of the ticket includes admission to all activities.
