Leo & Loona Arrives in Bahrain

Leo & Loona, one of the UAE’s fastest-growing edutainment brands, is charting a bold new course across the Gulf.

In just under two years, the homegrown concept has evolved from a single venue into a multi-location success story, capturing the attention of families and investors alike. With three thriving locations in the UAE and ambitious plans to expand across the GCC, Leo & Loona is reshaping what family entertainment means in the Middle East.

Its next chapter begins with Bahrain. In partnership with Mabanee, one of GCC’s most prominent real estate developers, Leo & Loona will launch its first international venue at Avenues Bahrain by the beginning of 2026. Spanning 2,360 square metres, the new destination will be the largest family entertainment offering at Avenues Bahrain and marks a pivotal step in the brand’s strategic regional rollout.

Since launching in Dubai Festival City Mall, Leo & Loona has rapidly expanded to include Yas Mall and Dalma Mall in Abu Dhabi, with a growing base of loyal customers. Repeat visitors now account for 60% of total footfall, a significant increase from just 20% in the brand’s first year of operation, which is a clear indication of strong customer satisfaction and engagement. The UAE’s edutainment market is projected to grow steadily, with family-oriented experiences becoming one of the fastest-growing segments in retail destinations. According to industry data, the MENA family entertainment market is expected to surpass USD $1,685.36 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of over 13.3%.

What sets Leo & Loona apart is its ability to evolve with the expectations of modern families. Today’s parents aren’t just seeking entertainment, they want environments that inspire creativity, build confidence, and reflect the region’s values. Leo & Loona delivers this through beautifully designed spaces, imaginative educational zones, and experiences that promote emotional and social development.

With Bahrain on the horizon and new launches already planned across the GCC Leo & Loona is not just expanding, it’s helping define the future of family entertainment across the Middle East.
