Shows for children
Dubai's children's theatre is busiest at weekends: classic tales at the Theatre of Digital Art (ToDA) at Madinat Jumeirah, ballet and musicals for little ones at the Meyana Theatre at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and seasonal productions at the Theatre by QE2 and The New Covent Garden Theatre. In December most of them stage Christmas shows.
Most shows are in English, some in Russian, Arabic or other languages — the title and the event page say which, along with the ages the show suits.
Beyond the stage
Workshops, cooking classes for children, circus performances and family festivals fill the cooler months. For attractions, water parks and tours that suit children, see our family page.
