Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 10 July 2026: Majid Al Futtaim officially opens the doors to Explorers today, unveiling Dubai's only large-scale indoor kids’ destination that combines free-play adventure with expert-led skill-building workshops under one roof. Located at City Centre Mirdif and thoughtfully designed for children aged 1-12 years and their families, Explorers is a one-of-a-kind adventure where your imagination runs wild.
Located at City Centre Mirdif, Explorers reimagines family entertainment by fuelling imagination and adventure, turning play into moments that light up childhood. At the heart of the destination Explorers features Adventure Play which incorporates three immersive Play Zones; Wildwood Treetops, Little Acorns and River Play. In addition, Explorers also offers a selection of interactive workshops each inspired by children's natural curiosity and love of discovery. Every space has been designed to encourage movement, creativity, imagination, and hands-on exploration while making family outings easier, more rewarding, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone.
Wildwood Treetops is an abstract soft-play adventure featuring more than 20 interactive elements that encourage movement, climbing, exploration, and active challenges, inviting young explorers to navigate a suspended net-based world complete with balconies, towers, tunnels, pods, and spiral slides. Little Acorns provides a dedicated sanctuary for toddlers, with safe and age-appropriate play features designed to support early development and River Play delivers a sensory-rich environment where explorers can experiment, explore, and learn through interactive stations inspired by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics principles.
Ignace Lahoud, Chief Executive Officer, Majid Al Futtaim Entertainment and Lifestyle, said: “We are constantly looking for new ways to create meaningful experiences that bring families together. Explorers at City Centre Mirdif reflects our commitment to developing innovative concepts that combine entertainment, learning, and creativity in a way that feels both engaging and enriching. Today’s families are seeking experiences that go beyond traditional play, and Explorers has been designed to nurture curiosity, encourage imagination, and inspire discovery through immersive, hands-on experiences. We are proud to introduce a destination where children can learn, create, and explore while making lasting memories with their loved ones.”
Complementing the Play Zones are four engaging workshops that transform learning into hands-on adventure. Mamalu Kitchen offers interactive cooking classes covering everything from pizza and pasta to sushi, ramen, breads, and cupcakes. StuDIYo Lab introduces children to the fundamentals of woodworking through guided projects and specially crafted kits. Explorers can develop communication and storytelling skills through public speaking, creative writing, and performance-based activities at Confidence Lab. Meanwhile, Picasso Artists provides an artistic playground where children can experiment with fluid art, drip art, resin art, tie-dye, and other creative techniques.
Finally, Pottery, which allows guests of any age to express their creativity, painting ceramics while enjoying delicious treats and refreshments.
Designed for children aged 1-12 years, Explorers offers flexible experiences for every stage of childhood, encouraging exploration, imagination, movement, and self-discovery in a safe and welcoming environment. Whether scaling new heights in Wild Woods, creating a masterpiece in Picasso Artists, or learning a new skill in Mamalu Kitchen, every visit promises a new adventure. In addition, families can look forward to an array of summer camps hosted at Explorers over the coming weeks.
