Emaar Retail LLC’s flagship edutainment attractions in The Dubai Mall recently hosted 60 students as part of the 20th Scientific Forum for GCC Youth, under the patronage of the General Authority of Youth & Sports Welfare. Children were entertained in KidZania®, the 80,000 sq ft, award-winning interactive mini-city and Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, one of the world’s largest indoor aquariums.
The visits to KidZania® and Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo were chosen for their educational value, along with other important attractions and landmarks of the Emirates including museums, factories and industry locations. Students between the ages of 11 to 15 years old enjoyed a diversified cultural tour of the UAE.
The students, from the various GCC countries, experienced a fun-filled day out at KidZania®, taking part in the several professional role-plays offered within the children’s city and learning about the importance of ocean conservation and environment protection at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo.
