I have been to Scienceworks Melbourne numerous times, but I have never taken the opportunity to venture out of the CBD very much. On a recent trip, we were tempted to venture 15 minutes out of the city to check out the town of Spotswood, home of Scienceworks – and boy, are we glad we did! We had a whole day of educational fun ahead of us – I had to physically drag the kids out at the end of the day. 1. Race Against Cathy Freeman My children have always loved being active and have been involved in Little Athletics since toddlers. Scienceworks has a very interesting sports exhibition that was akin to the holy grail for our sports mad kids. A fun exhibit consisted of the chance to line up at a race start line and run against a video wall of Cathy Freeman racing. The track was only about 15 metres long – the race took 2 seconds – but they did it over and over again. 2. Discover the Tallest Buildings in The World One of the compelling displays I discovered as an adult was the exhibit showcasing the tallest buildings in the world. The engineering that has gone into building designs to achieve the apex of modern society while construction of tallest buildings express the imagination and creativity, makes it so interesting. Back in 1931, the Empire State Building in New York was an impressive achievement at 381m tall, but fast-forward to 2010 with the Burj Khalifa in Dubai reaching heights of 828m and that is really much smaller by comparison. Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia when completed will raise the bar again, with its anticipated height of 1008m. <!– ticketCard:book-scienceworks-entry-ticket 3. See the Lightning Shows In addition to the interactive displays, the lightning room offers some fun kids science shows. We enjoyed Bolt from the Blue. A great interactive display to demonstrate how lightning is formed, and how to stay safe when there is a thunderstorm. The presenter was lively and entertaining, targeting the content toward the kids. From demonstrating ways to produce storm clouds in a plastic bottle, making balloons statically stick to a child’s head, and showing the hair on your head point straight to the sky, the session was chalk full of educational takeaways. 4. Visit the Planetarium If you’ve never been to a planetarium, you may not even know what one is. A planetarium is a theatre with a dome-shaped ceiling that is designed to display projections of the night sky . In addition, films that have been created specifically for planetariums can also be shown on the unique-shaped screen. The Melbourne Planetarium features a 16-metre dome and reclining chairs that make viewing the show (or napping if you’re exhausted from activities) pretty comfortable. We participated in the viewing of the film Blackholes, which was interesting, if not a little quirky, then a live narration of a current Melbourne night sky projections. It was the live narration that we enjoyed. For the kids, seeing the constellations that were in the Scienceworks Melbourne night sky, that night, was captivating. 5. It is Great Value We got there around 10:45am and didn’t depart until after closing, around 430pm. There is so much to see and do, and our kids enjoyed every minute. We went on a weekday, and it was a little hectic with school groups, especially when we first arrived, but then it settled down around 2:30pm and managed to have free range of all the exhibits. If you only have a handful of hours, you might want to plan for the afternoon, otherwise you’ll just have to put up with the crowds. Admission to Scienceworks costs only $15 for adults and free for children up to 16 years old. The Planetarium and Lightning Room also have an add on charge of $8 each, or $12 if you do both. For a full day of fun and learning Scienceworks is superb value. Getting There If you have a car, this is your best option but if you’re like us and staying in the CBD, Spotswood is about 15 minutes from the city. Initially, I planned to take the Williamstown train from Southern Cross Station to Spotswood – it seemed like an easy and inexpensive option. But it soon became apparent that Melbourne is nowhere near as visitor-friendly outside of the free tram system in the CBD. We had to buy each of a Myki Card to purchase a day fare for the metro train service costing $8.60 for adults and $4.30 for a child. So I had to buy a $6 card to put $4 of travel on a Myki Card.

I have always envisioned looking down from the sky and seeing the desert come to life. But nothing could have adequately prepared me for the surreal, quiet, and surprisingly moving essence of our morning in the clouds. As a father, I always find myself looking for something special and meaningful to do with my children when we travel. Our Dubai Hot Air Balloon was just that – an experience that transcended traditional “thrill.” Our time in the early morning air was so quiet, so soft, and so deeply humbling, that sunrise felt irrelevant. Before booking, I thought I read a few reviews about Hot Air Balloon Dubai, and now I wish I had read a lot more from a parent’s viewpoint. There were small details I did not know about the experience – things I may have packed, prepared, or things I may have better explained to the kids. So, in case you are planning your own ride, here is everything I would have wanted to know. What I Would Have Liked to Know 1. The Early Start Is Not A Joke We were picked up from the hotel shortly after 5 a.m., and I can truly say it takes some strong persuasion to wake children up that early into a vacation. And then we were out, into the cool dark desert night, and something changed. It was peacefully quiet, the stars were still out and the anticipation helped shift the mood of my daughter and son slowly to be a bit more agreeable. I would also have liked to have packed one more snack, but the excitement helped negate the missing breakfast. 2. The Takeoff Is Weirdly smooth I had expected a very exciting ascent but it turned out that the balloon ascended so slowly that we barely knew we were in the air. My boy inhaled sharply as he found out we were floating. When we turned around you could see dunes turning a dark bronze color and then gold when the light started to scatter across the horizon. Our air balloon ride in Dubai had already given us more than we could have ever dreamed of and we hadn’t even seen the sun yet. <!– ticketCard:book-hot-air-balloon-flight-tickets 3. Do not Overpack-You Do Not Need Much I felt really smart about all my jackets, snacks, wipes and cameras. Here’s the deal, though – the basket is tight and once you get up there, you get so mesmerized you don’t care about anything except the view. All you need is a light layer, your phone and your eyes wide open. I actually put most of our stuff away after we took off and didn’t even touch it again. 4. The Cold Goes Quickly You will get to the launch site when it is cold. My daughter complained the whole time and wore her hoodie. But, when the balloon went up and the sun hit the desert we were all taking off clothes. Go light and easy layers, especially if you have kids, and tell them it will not be cold long. When you are not worried about frost bitten hands, it is easier to enjoy the ride. 5. Landings can be Rough In this section we were surprised. Our pilot was great, but the landing was a bit off and we jerked in the basket. No one was hurt or scared, just one of those, laugh it out and hang on tight. I should have warned the kids before that not every landing is smooth and maybe it would have prevented a few of the stares in wide-eyed awesomeness and clutching elbows. 6. It Turns Out To Be More Emotional Than Expected I expected to see an entertainment and a few nice pictures. What I did not expect was inactivity, silence, and that warm feeling of experiencing something special. My son said, it was something as though in a dream, flying, and I felt the same. It was a desert, sunrise, floating feeling to it which I was not expecting to get out of a tourist activity. We were not just looking at something unique. We experienced it. Conclusion Hot air balloon Dubai family reviews. It would have also helped me more in knowing how to prepare both the kids and me better for the day. Hot air balloon ride Dubai was totally worth it, even though the preparation was not spot on, but also definitely because of the connection it inspired. It was calm, exhilarating and memorable. Just do it! When you think about it, think about just doing it, because you will embark on a ride that will be etched in your memory, long after your feet touch the ground. FAQs 1. What can I expect from a Dubai Hot Air Balloon ride? A Dubai Hot Air Balloon ride offers stunning sunrise views over vast golden dunes. You’ll glide peacefully above the desert, spot camels and gazelles below, and capture unforgettable photos as the sunlight paints the landscape in breathtaking colors. 2. How long does a Dubai Hot Air Balloon ride last? The entire experience typically lasts 3 to 4 hours, including hotel pickup, safety briefing, and around 45–60 minutes of actual flight time. The adventure often ends with light refreshments in the desert after landing. 3. What is the best time for a Dubai Hot Air Balloon experience? The best time to book a Dubai Hot Air Balloon ride is early morning at sunrise, from October to May, when the weather is cooler and the desert atmosphere is at its most serene and photogenic. 4. Is a Dubai Hot Air Balloon ride safe? Yes, safety is a top priority. All Dubai Hot Air Balloon operators are licensed, use modern equipment, and have trained pilots. Weather conditions are carefully monitored to ensure smooth, safe, and enjoyable flights every time. 5. What should I wear for a Dubai Hot Air Balloon ride? Dress comfortably in layered clothing, as mornings can be cool before sunrise. Closed-toe shoes are recommended, and don’t forget sunglasses or a hat for after the sun comes up during your desert flight.

Before you head off to discover either the desert safari or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai , there are a few things you should be aware of. To get the most benefit out of your experience, we have asked a few locals to provide us with a few suggestions and travel etiquette for someone visiting to Dubai Experiences soon. Read below for what they have to say. 1. Look beyond the glitzy skyscrapers and malls There’s much more to Dubai than The Burj Khalifa and mega-malls! The city is actually steeped in history and it’s not complicated to explore! Head over to Old Town Dubai for a glimpse into Arabian culture and feel free to thrift shop at the souks over at Dubai Creek. If you have a free, locals recommend taking a trip to Abu Dhabi for a day; where you can see the grand mosques and learn about the country’s Muslim heritage. 2. Food can be cheap If you thought food in Dubai is pricey, you’re not entirely off the mark, but you’ll discover affordable meals in Dubai, you just need to know where to go! Dubai Mall, JBR, and Downtown are surely not the places to go for the most delicious and filling meals! Instead, you should visit souks, outdoor markets, which are the best places to have great meals without emptying your wallet. 3. Share your food In Dubai, it’s actually discouraged to order an entire meal by yourself. It’s more socially acceptable to order a large platter to share inside your group. So unless you are travelling by yourself, be sure to order to share! Plus this way of ordering will save you money. 4. Ditch the metro, take a taxi While the Metro system is definitely inexpensive, it can be quite inconvenient. Many of the stations are located a long distance from the best spots and will require you to walk a good distance to get from there to your actual destination. Dubai is not really a walkable city, and taking taxi’s is truly the best option to get around, and what all of the locals agreed is what they would recommend. Since many of the key attractions are situated a distance from each other, taxi fares, in general, are reasonable. And remember to tip your driver too. 5. Head Downtown or to the Dubai Marina instead of The Palm If you’re not taking a private helicopter to fly over The Palm, many locals would say to not bother going. The traffic in this part of town is insane, so head to Dubai Marina or Downtown instead. 6. Happy Hour or nothing at all It is commonly understood that drinking in Dubai Experiences can be exceptionally expensive. However, that certainly does not mean you will miss out on the fun! There are numerous happy hour options available throughout the city, allowing you to enjoy a night out without breaking the bank. But if you happen to miss the happy hours, you will be looking at a cost of about SGD15 to SGD20 for a bottle of beer. 7. Avoid PDA Few visitors realize, but there is a strong separation of genders in the country, so even the most innocent public hug can lead to consequences. Even if you will be travelling with people of the same gender, try and avoid any PDA while in Dubai to avoid awkward, judgmental stares. 8. Get a copy (or two) of The Entertainer As soon as you arrive in Dubai, the first thing you should do is head to a convenience store or supermarket and purchase a couple of copies of The Entertainer magazine. Even though it might be a little expensive (SGD 185), it has so many discounts and promos for restaurants and activities that you will benefit from them for the entire length of your stay and it’s worth the money. 9. Malls are for entertainment, not shopping If you’re working with a budget, the mega-malls of Dubai may be challenging for you. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should skip the legendary shopping malls while you’re in town! In addition to shopping, the Dubai Mall offers very cool things to do for all ages: the Dubai Aquarium , a skating rink, and a book store. The Mall of Emirates has the Ski Dubai Ticket that we thought you wouldn’t want to miss. 10. Respect Even though more expats live in Dubai than Emiratis, it should be noted that he city is based on Muslim traditions. Consequently, you should respect the cultures and traditions of the locals. For example, all visitors need to understand the rules in a mosque (especially if you are planning to visit a few during your stay), show respect to the older generation, and do not criticize the Royal Family.

Dubai is a mesmerizing and multifaceted city. Its illustrious skyscrapers, opulent hotels and stunning deserts are well-known, but it is also home to the epitome of relaxation. One such beach, White Beach Dubai , has quickly become an icon of Dubai’s exclusive beaches. At the prestigious Atlantis The Palm, White Beach has incredible ambience, attractions and views, which can be hard to find elsewhere. It absolutely embodies Dubai’s luxury beach culture. White Beach is a place for those who appreciate serenity, comfort and chic relaxation – in a beautiful setting. Palm Jumeirah: what to do on White Beach Dubai? The central theme of this spot is relaxation and enjoyment on White Beach . Visitors to the beach will have access to beach chairs and cabanas; however, more importantly, is the unique setting that allows relaxation, as you enjoy music spin by DJs. It is perfect for escaping to peace and quiet while soaking in the energy from the sun, sea, and sand on Dubai Palm Jumeirah. Although relaxation is the mission, the attraction also has additional features at White Beach Dubai that allow you to enjoy your time even more. First, there are two incredible infinity pools; one even has transparent walls to create a sensation of swimming on the beach. Additionally, there are special areas to relax with comfortable beach chairs and cushions in the shade. Is it possible to engage in water sports at White Beach? White Beach is not a water sports beach like Kite Beach but is primarily designed for guests to relax. However, you can experience a yacht cruise with the guests or swim in the beautiful water and enjoy the unique view. If you’re interested in checking out some more amazing places, the city has so much more to offer. In addition to beaches, there are other sites in Dubai that you may want to go to see other than beaches and include things like an exciting desert safari, and futuristic structures. <!– ticketCard:kayak-or-paddle-dolphin-experience-at-atlantis-the-palm Luxury beaches: where is White Beach in Dubai? Located within the exclusive Atlantis The Palm complex at the eastern end of the Palm Jumeirah well-known artificial island, White Beach is a well-positioned beach to have a distinct view of Palm Jumeirah from the beach, which is one of the main highlights of this beach. While the beach is still technically inside of the resort, obtaining entry is easy and clearly marked for access via the easy Palm monorail. How to arrive at White Beach? If you are driving or taking a taxi, you will want to head in the direction of Crescent Road East, which is the road leading directly to the complex. Upon arrival, there is a large parking area available for visitors, which is a convenience for those traveling by car. However, if you are dependent upon public transit, the easiest option would be to take a taxi from the closest metro station or simply the Palm Monorail station nearby. This is ideal for simplicity and convenience for accessing White Beach. If you’re in search of a vibrant and upbeat venue, the beach clubs of Dubai hit the spot . Here, is where some of the top parties take place after the sun goes down. In the best beach clubs, you can enjoy some tunes from a well-known DJ, while catching one of the best panoramic views of the city. The exciting concept of enjoying carefree fun, with a completely different view, I say, is #Unforgettable. Jumeirah Beach – other beaches worth visiting In addition to White Beach, the city has many other equally nice places to sunbathe. Take for example Palm West Beach, known for its beautiful promenade, restaurants and bars create the ideal setting for an evening walk. Al Mamzar Beach Park is another popular option. It is next to a large park, making it a good choice for families. Sunset Beach, on the other hand, is where people go to take pictures, and, of course, the sunset is the biggest draw. Then there’s Jumeirah Beach Residence, which is a city beach with easy access to many restaurants and shops nearby.
