Education will be a key element of the show, with major interactive "edutainment" attractions including the thrilling ‘Science of ...Spying', which has just completed its remarkable debut at the London Science Museum; and the award winning ‘Robot Zoo', which has recently been delighting and amazing visitors on its tour of North America and Asia.
A packed program of live daily performances will feature International Children's Theatre Productions, Circus Workshops & Mini Shows, Freestyle BMX bikers, UV Puppet Theatre, and appearances by well-known Children's Characters.
"Summer in Abu Dhabi" will also feature Arts and Craft Workshops, Secret Story Gardens, a Mini Cinema, Optical Illusions, Climbing Walls, Lazer Mazes, Remote "CamCar" Racing, and a variety of lively Fun Fair Rides and Games.H.E.

The event will be unique; it will provide an eight-week extravaganza of entertainment and education to children and parents from across the whole country; it will be a truly great day out for all the family."

From cultural attractions, to high octane excitement; from relaxing zones to elements of pure fun, Summer in Abu Dhabi really does have something for everyone. The concept of the island zones mirrors the physical islands of Abu Dhabi and allows us to create distinctive areas which offer very different attractions, but all reside under one overall event brand," concluded Faisal Al Sheikh, ADTA Events Section Head.
