1 / 3Sharjah Discovery Centre
⚠ Temporarily Closed📍 Al Qarayen, Sharjah
Government-run discovery centre near Sharjah International Airport with interactive science exhibits, measurement labs, and teacher-led workshops for children up to age 10. Adults and toddlers under 3 enter free. Free parking on-site.
It’s an excellent place for families with kids below 6 years. It’s very very reasonable price compared with current rates in UAE for kids. Thanks to Sharjah govt. for proving such a great place for kids. This place is located after Sharjah International Airport opposite side little further. I generally take 2-8 pictures maximum but for this place I took more than 30 pictures above as its such a huge space. Today it’s a Happy & Blessed Eid Al Adha holiday time, more than 200-500 families spending their hot summers with unlimited time in this place. It’s a great place I ever see for children discoveries. This place is good for playing and getting very good knowledge of science. The price to enter to this place is Aed 10/- adults and kids aed 5/- unbelievable price. The following are the available in this place 1). Go carting 3 rounds for every child 2). Soft Play 3). Many science discoveries required for kids including sounds, smell, human body parts, building bricks, construction related information etc 4). Small kids international airport, baggage check in, scanners, helicopter, Small boats on hydraulic movements controlled by the kids themselves. 5). Shooting balls with air excellent play for every kid 6). Huge parking lots. Etc Many more which I can’t explain but should see. Each and every family 💯 % should visit this place atleast 5-6 times to cover all discoveries this Sharjah discovery center has. I am very much impressed for their innovations, maintenance and price. I hope this price should not go higher as there is high demand for such a great place where we can afford atleast weekly once.👏👏👏👍🙏
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 2–9 seeking structured educational play at a fraction of typical Dubai venue costs. The scientist-led sessions add genuine learning depth beyond standard play areas. Children over 10 will exhaust the exhibits quickly. Allocate half a day — a full day overshoots the content available for most age groups.

“Amazing kids play area, it's massive and has loads of cool educational and fun things for kids to do. It's such good value for money, 25 AED for kids above 3 so adults and toddlers go in for free. Theres also a small coffee shop if you want a quick bite and something to drink. It's a bit of a drive for anyone driving from Dubai but well worth checking out if you're lookin for something new and exciting to do with the kids to escape the summer heat.”

“Very interactive and well planned place for kids. Lots of activities where kids can learn while playing. They have classrooms where teachers dressed as scientists picks a topic and explain it to children. When we visited they were explaining about measurements and how to use right scale etc for different object types. They also provided activity kids and rulers and papers to kids so kids can learn by doing it theirself. Overall I will recommend this place to parents to take kids to spend good quality time learning.”

Staff dressed as scientists run themed classroom sessions — topics range from measurement and scale to live experiments — giving children structured engagement beyond self-directed exhibits. Interactive stations are designed for independent exploration by under-10s. A small café handles refreshments.
