Lemonade Play Opens at Marina Mall, Bringing Screen-Free Discovery to Abu Dhabi's Youngest

Lemonade Play & Discovery Centre has landed at Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi, and it's built around a refreshingly simple idea: children learn best by doing, not swiping. Designed for little ones aged 1 to 7, the space swaps screens and passive entertainment for hands-on, imagination-led play - role play, building, sensory exploration and open-ended discovery that lets kids construct, invent, dress up and make-believe at their own pace.

What sets Lemonade apart is its attention to age: dedicated, purpose-built zones mean babies and toddlers aren't confined to a token gated corner while bigger kids run the show, but given room designed to their size and stage of development. Any parent who's white-knuckled their way through a visit to a big indoor play centre, hyper-alert to bigger children barrelling past a toddler, will understand exactly why that matters.

Sessions start from AED 95 for 1.5 hours, with full-day passes at AED 180, plus flexible plans including 15 hours of play for AED 850, a midweek monthly pass, and a three-month plan for frequent visitors. Birthdays are covered too, with private party rooms, themed décor and hosted games, plus add-ons like face painting and confetti blasts.

Lemonade Play at Marina Mall joins sister branches at Arabian Center and Triple 777 Center in Dubai. More at www.lemonadeplay.ae or @lemonadeplayuae.
