Kuwait is bursting with beautiful landscapes, vibrant cultural attractions and exciting activities for all the family. From shark-spotting to paintballing to practising for their future careers, here are some of the best ways to entertain and delight kids in Kuwait.

Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland Kuwait is an immersive entertainment extravaganza that starts at the beginning of the next winter season and is packed with fun and joy! Al-Sha’ab Leisure Park , will host Winter Wonderland Kuwait’s various entertainment events. Featuring more than 30 rides, skill games and attractions, live performances, and booths serving various delicious food and drinks. You may book your tickets via Winter Wonderland Kuwait official website.

Visit the Aquarium

Located inside Kuwait Scientific Center is The Aquarium. It’s easy to spend a half day here, admiring colourful sealife native to the Arabian Gulf gliding through ceiling-to-floor tanks and learning about their habits and habitats in the wild. Time your visit right and you may even get to see a brave diver feed the sharks. For a full day out, combine The Aquarium with a visit to Discovery Place or the IMAX theatre, both adjacent.

Meet the animals at Kuwait Zoo

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Set in Omariya on Kuwait’s outskirts, Kuwait Zoo will be a big hit with animal lovers. Housing over 1,800 species, many endangered, it’s a full day of discovery. Marvel at giant beasts including the Asiatic Black Bear, Angolan Python and Nile crocodiles; see playful monkeys, shy Korean Water Deer and sly vultures and make sure to save the best for last — the big cat enclosures, home to graceful cheetahs, tigers and lions.

Act out your dreams at KidZania

Let children indulge their dreams for the future at KidZania, an indoor, children-sized city packed with role-playing stations. Whether your child’s a budding flight attendant, radio host, bank teller or interested in one of almost 100 other careers, they’ll get to dress up and learn the basics in a fun, friendly environment.

Soak up the sights and smells of Souk Al-Mubarakiya

From fragrant spices to colourful cloth to children’s toys, there’s nothing that can’t be found at Souk Al-Mubarakiya. One of Kuwait’s oldest markets, where locals have haggled for over 200 years, a visit here is a feast for all the senses. Children will be fascinated by the sheer variety of colours, scents and flavours, and can sample new foods along the way. A pretty play area serves as a great place to stop for a rest on your way round.
