Families looking for indoor activities in Dubai this summer have a new destination to add to their list, with the launch of X Distrikt at Dubai Festival City Mall.
Spanning more than 62,000 square feet, the entertainment hub brings together four interactive attractions under one roof, offering everything from educational play and physical challenges to tactical gaming and virtual reality experiences.
Designed as an all-day indoor destination, X Distrikt caters to children, teenagers and adults, making it an option for families -combining four distinct experiences, each aimed at different age groups and interests.
woo-hoo!
The first is woo-hoo!, an interactive discovery space created for children aged up to 12 years old. Featuring seven themed galleries, hands-on exhibits and guided workshops, the experience encourages children to learn through play, with activities designed to spark curiosity, creativity and imagination.

For families with older children, DARE offers a more active experience. Suitable for ages five and above, the indoor adventure zone combines climbing, jumping and physical challenges with RFID and smart tracking technology, allowing visitors to monitor their progress while taking on a series of gamified activities.
Xstrike Outpost
Those looking for teamwork and strategy can head to Xstrike Outpost, a tactical indoor arena where players aged five and above work together through immersive combat-style simulation games in a bunker-inspired setting. The attraction focuses on communication, problem-solving and fast-paced gameplay.
multiVRse
Meanwhile, multiVRse introduces visitors to virtual and augmented reality experiences, transporting players into digital worlds through a range of interactive missions and immersive adventures that blend physical movement with cutting-edge technology.
As temperatures rise across the UAE, indoor entertainment continues to be a popular choice for families looking for things to do with children during the school holidays. By combining educational experiences, active play, gaming and virtual reality in one location, X Distrikt offers a variety of activities that can appeal to siblings of different ages as well as groups of friends.
Located inside Dubai Festival City Mall, the venue is designed to make it easy for families to spend several hours exploring different attractions without having to travel between multiple locations.
