Dubai with kids: cheapest tickets and child prices (2026)

Only a handful of Dubai attractions charge children less. The Dubai Frame (AED 20), The View at The Palm (from AED 80), Dubai Miracle Garden (AED 84), The Green Planet (AED 135) and the Dolphinarium show (AED 62) all have a lower child fare. The theme parks and Dubai Aquarium charge children the adult price, so the saving there comes from booking a day ahead and from Headout and Klook. Under 3s are free almost everywhere. Prices were checked on 30 October 2026.

Child prices and free ages

Dubai Safari Park	AED 50	AED 50	Under 3
Aquaventure	From AED 205	No child price shown	Under 2

The View’s prices are its lowest slot, and the Green Planet charges AED 175 and AED 150 on Saturdays. Wild Wadi reopened on 1 November 2026, and its height-based child fare equals the adult one. Burj Khalifa (from AED 189) shows no child fare we could read, and Ain Dubai (from AED 145) hides it until you pick a date.

For two adults and two children, the child rate cuts the Frame from AED 200 to AED 140 and Miracle Garden from AED 420 to AED 378.

Where a reseller beats the official child price

Our reseller data records adult fares only. These are cases where a reseller’s adult price is already below the official child price, so open the child option before you buy.

Attraction	Official	Cheapest reseller (adult)	Seller
Green Planet	Junior AED 135	AED 109	Headout (Klook 126, GetYourGuide 129)
Butterfly Garden	AED 52.50, all ages	AED 22	Headout (Klook 25)
Lost World Aquarium	From AED 95	AED 68	Headout, perhaps a sale
IMG Worlds	AED 365	AED 200 until 11 November	Headout (Klook 275)
MOTIONGATE, LEGOLAND	AED 295	AED 249 for 2 or more	Headout (Klook 255 to 275)
AYA Universe	AED 135	AED 94.50	Headout (Klook 103)

Official wins at Aquaventure, from AED 205 against AED 225 at Rayna, AED 240 at Headout and AED 360 at Klook, GetYourGuide and Tiqets (checked 2 November 2026). Headout says its Green Planet, Butterfly Garden and MOTIONGATE tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled.

AYA’s Family Pass is AED 399 for four guests of any age, AED 141 less than four tickets at AED 135.

Family tips

• Book parks a day ahead. AED 295 online against AED 330 on the day saves AED 140 for four.
• Two parks, one day: the Two Park ticket is AED 355 against AED 590 for two singles, a AED 940 saving for four.
• Supervision: at Dubai Parks, children under 13 need an adult aged 18 or over. At the Frame, children under 12 must stay with an adult, and strollers go to the Gate 4 counter.
• IMG Worlds: the Kids Zone is extra, AED 50 an hour or AED 100 a day per child, bought at the park.
• Heights: some Aquaventure slides need 1.2 m.
• Seasons: Miracle Garden runs 8 October 2026 to 31 May 2027. Global Village runs from 14 October to May 2027 at AED 30 on any day, with no child price, and its Tuesdays are for families, couples and ladies.
• Museum of the Future is closed until early 2027. See what to do instead.

When a Go City pass helps a family

Go City sells child passes for ages 3 to 12, but the discount is small: Explorer 4 is AED 878 for a child against AED 988 for an adult, converted from US dollars. A child’s pass must average about AED 220 an attraction, so it only pays at the flat-priced giants. Go City also leaves out Wild Wadi, The Green Planet, AYA Universe, Dubai Safari Park, Real Madrid World and the Dolphinarium.

Here is a family of four, two adults and two children, doing MOTIONGATE, LEGOLAND Dubai, IMG Worlds and Aquaventure against Explorer 4 for four (AED 3,731):

How you buy	Total for four	Result
Official singles, a day ahead (295, 295, 365, 205 each)	AED 4,640	Pass saves AED 909
Two Park ticket (355), IMG Worlds, Aquaventure	AED 3,700	Pass costs AED 31 more
Same, with Klook’s AED 275 for IMG Worlds	AED 3,340	Pass costs AED 391 more

This assumes children pay the adult price everywhere. The parks’ own rules say so, but we have not confirmed it for Klook. Aquaventure’s AED 205 is a lowest-date price. At AED 360, each row moves AED 620 in the pass’s favour. Run your own list through the Go City pass calculator, which has a children counter, or read whether the pass is worth it.

How to book it cheapest

1. Price the attractions with a real child rate on the official site first.
2. Book theme parks a day ahead and check the Two Park ticket.
3. Open the Headout and Klook child options before paying the official price.
4. Buy Aquaventure direct.
5. Take ID for any child who is free or on a child ticket.
6. Skip the pass unless your plan is four or more big parks.
