👋🏻 Hi I’m Dot! I have 2 young kids and love to explore (and share) about Abu Dhabi! Follow me for more ideas!

🦁 **Leo & Loona - they have locations in Yas mall and dalma mall. We prefer the Yas Mall one more for its layout.
Weekdays: AED 159 (2hr), AED 199 (full day)
Weekends: AED 199 / 249
✨ First adult free, second AED 50
🍽️ once inside they have an amazing restaurant that serves really good food too! Their menu is curated by a one star Michelin chef - their slow cooked beef is delicious and always my go to!

🎨 **Caboodle (The Galleria)**
AED 119 for 2 hours (kids 1yr+)
AED 99 for under 1s for 2 hours
Extra adult: AED 25
🫧 if your kids love bubble time, they do songs, bubbles and dancing every 1-2 hours!

Starting to finally enjoy some peace ✌️ during a car ride! 🚗 It took us a while to find car seats 💺 they actually don’t complain about 😂 We finally found our go-to: the Chicco MyFit, with armrests and double cup holders (to hold drinks, snacks and more!) Safe, comfy and, most importantly, approved by my two little passengers. 👑

I’ve linked them from FirstCry in my bio.

🐴 If your kids love HORSES, this new area with cafes in Abu Dhabi is a hidden gem!! 💎 We sat at the best table with an incredible view of the equestrian arena. 👀 Once the weather gets better soon you can even sit even closer on the terrace! 🐎

🥺 Believe it or not, I started this blog, “Dot On Her Way,” as an aspirational travel blogger over 13 years ago.

The name was created while I was sitting in a hotel apartment in London as an expat wife, sharing my travels and documentation of all the countries I visit along the way.

Fast forward 10+ years and this channel has pivoted in so many ways I never imagined.

I built a corporate career, which I thought would naturally slow down my travel life. Then came babies… who turned into toddlers, and now young kids. So surely, that would slow down the travelling even more, right?

Well… surprisingly, not really.

My kids have already been to 18 countries, all before turning 6. And honestly, that blows my mind! 🌎

Travel looks very different now than it did 10 years ago, but maybe this is my little sign to slowly start bringing more of those travel stories back here. 🗺️

So, maybe Dot is finding her way back to where she started. ✈️

So feel free to comment or DM if you want to talk more about traveling with kids! ❤️

Share this to the first friend you think of whose kids can’t sit still during a meal. 👻

👋🏻 Hi I’m Dot, I’m your source for family dining in Abu Dhabi with young kids. I love to dine at restaurants with free play areas, if that’s useful to you or a friend, follow for more great finds in Abu Dhabi!

📍 Karaz Restaurant @karazrestaurant
It’s a small space for young kids. A lot of wear and tear but my daughter didn’t mind. There are at least 2 tables here where you can see the play area from your seat. 🏆 taken in Yas Mall, Yas Island Abu Dhabi UAE by @dotonherway
