Magic Planet Mall of Emirates: Family Indoor Fun
Magic Planet at Mall of the Emirates offers family arcade games, bowling, and rides. See 2026 pricing, peak hours, and how to plan a smooth visit.
Where to Find Magic Planet
Magic Planet sits on Level 1 of Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha, directly connected to the Red metro line. The entrance is near the indoor ski slope, so families can combine a cool indoor activity with arcade time in one trip.
2026 Ticket Prices and Packages
Entry itself is free. You load credit onto a Magic Planet card at the counter. A standard game costs 15-25 AED. A 100 AED card gives roughly six to eight plays. Bowling lanes start at 85 AED per game for up to six people on weekdays before 5 pm. Weekend and evening rates rise to 110 AED. A 30-minute unlimited play pass costs 95 AED per child on school days.
Popular Games and Rides for All Ages
Younger kids head to the soft-play zone and ticket-redemption machines. Primary-school children like the VR coaster and basketball hoops. Teens usually queue for the dance pads and racing simulators. Parents can sit at the central café tables that overlook the main floor and still watch their children.
Best Times to Visit Without Crowds
Weekdays from 10 am to 2 pm are quietest. After 5 pm and all day on Friday the floor fills quickly with school groups. During Dubai summer (June-September) the centre stays air-conditioned at 22 °C, so families often stay two to three hours comfortably.
Practical Tips Before You Go
- Bring socks for the soft-play area; they sell pairs at the desk for 15 AED if you forget.
- Recharge cards at any kiosk; unused credit rolls over for 12 months.
- Lockers cost 10 AED and fit two backpacks.
- Food courts on the same level sell meal combos from 45 AED; you can take trays inside the play zone.
Parking validation is available at the concierge desk for stays longer than three hours. The nearest RTA taxi rank is on the ground floor exit near Ski Dubai.
