Know what you are doing this weekend? There are laughter-filled, magical evenings calling your name. Or, if you want a kid-friendly day out, that's possible too. Here's a look at some fun ways to spend the days.
Indulge in fun and games
Get ready for a wild ride kids, complete with heart-pumping action, cool shows, and free – yes, free – ice cream. Motiongate Dubai, the Hollywood-inspired theme park, has a bunch of kid-friendly pop-ups this month. Young ones can exercise their creative juices at the Colouring Corner, where they'll get a complimentary funbook filled with games and stickers and later, tuck into free ice cream (on Friday). There are also some fun shows on the agenda including the Kung Fu Academy Show, King Julien's Sideshow, and Just Smurf It! Show. Besides these limited-period draws, there are 29 ridess to choose from. That's right, it's time for fun, fun, fun.

Time for class
Have kids, will play. Get ready for some giggles and shouts when the kiddos head to Chaihona The Greens where they can enjoy 30-minute sessions of activities such as face painting, arts and crafts, painting, and sensory play. The sessions are free but you do need to book your little one in.
Free. Every Sunday, noon-2pm. Chaihona Greens
Celebrate Mother's Day
This Friday, take your mum on an adventure. Check out our things to do on Mother's Day for ideas. One cool option is Dip Dash, where you can order their favourite sushi from the menu and the restaurant will add her initials on the plate. The place is a vegetarian Pan-Asian gem where food is all about fresh flavours. At the end of the meal, mum will also be treated to a complimentary cheesecake.

Abracadabra!
