★4.4(1,835 Google reviews)💰AED 25 per child👶0-10

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.

✓ educational workshops✓ scientist-led sessions✓ toddler friendly✓ affordable✓ interactive exhibits✓ free parking

🏆 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.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Aim to arrive as sessions open to secure spots in the scientist-led classroom workshops
⏰Children aged 3 and above require a paid ticket - toddlers under 3 and adults enter free
🎟️Free parking is plentiful - no need to budget extra time for parking on arrival
🚗The drive from central Dubai takes 30-40 minutes - factor this into your departure time

“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.👏👏👏👍🙏”

“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.”
