A new kind of play space opens in Dubai

Dubai has a new destination for families: Lala Little Wonders is now officially open at Al Joud Building on Sheikh Zayed Road in Al Quoz, inviting children to explore a world where play, creativity, movement and imagination come together.

The concept is built around one simple idea — let the child lead. There is no set route and no fixed programme. Children can climb, bounce, swing, crawl, create, dress up, experiment and explore at their own pace, with every activity designed to encourage curiosity and support physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

A trip around the world, indoors

The centrepiece is an adventure zone built like a futuristic airport terminal for little explorers. Five themed worlds connect to a glowing central terminal through winding tubes, interactive play structures and immersive experiences inspired by destinations around the world.

Children can bounce to the top of the Taj Mahal and Burj Khalifa, take on a Dutch windmill-inspired super climber, swing through interactive environments and crawl through hidden pathways. Then, in the Dark Room of Continents, glowing immersive environments transport young visitors across Africa, Australia, North America, Europe and Asia — a sensory journey where discovering the world feels less like a lesson and more like an adventure.

More than climbing frames

Lala Little Wonders goes well beyond traditional play. At Glow Pop House, little guests can enjoy playful makeovers, braids, updos, glitter and sparkly nail art, while creative workshops let them personalise accessories through design, patching and embellishment.

At The Vibe Vault, children get hands-on with slime, clay, pottery, painting, baking and other creative activities — a space built for experimenting, making and getting gloriously messy.

The venue also pitches itself as a birthday and celebration destination, with dedicated party spaces, food by Tom & Serg reimagined for little guests, and a rotating line-up of dancers, performers, magicians and balloon benders.

Who is behind it

The philosophy comes from founder Dr. Dalia AwadAlla, an Egyptian-Canadian physician, mother of three and early childhood education leader who left medicine to rethink how children learn through play. “We wanted to create somewhere that feels incredibly fun for children,” she says, “while giving parents the reassurance that there is so much happening beneath that fun — from building confidence and physical skills to encouraging creativity, independence and connection.” She is joined by partner Amr Aldeeb, a business leader with 25 years of experience across global markets.
