A Sneak Peek At What To Expect At DAZ Festival
This isn’t your average park day. Organised by Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and brought to life by BRAG, the festival is all about getting outdoors and enjoying everything from adventure activities to live entertainment. You’ll find games, workshops, roaming performers, and plenty of surprises around every corner. It’s the kind of place where you can explore at your own pace, try something new, and just enjoy being outside. Come with me and I’ll show you all the incredible things you cannot miss out on during the festival.
1. Fun Family Adventures For All Ages
Whether you’re going with friends, family, or little ones, there’s something here for everyone. You can take on exciting experiences like Jungle Escape, Into the Wild, and Zip the DAZ World, or jump into obstacle courses, carnival rides, and arcade games that keep the energy going all day.
For kids, it’s a dream setup. They can dig into Fossil Workshops, get creative with arts and crafts, enjoy storytelling sessions, and even try the PAW Patrol driving experience. Add in pony rides and interactive play zones, and you’ve got a full day sorted.
2. Live Shows & Surprise Performances
The Community Stage is back with daily live shows, all inspired by the festival’s wild theme. What makes it even better? The line-up changes every weekend, so no two visits feel the same.
Plus, keep an eye out for roaming performers and friendly characters popping up around the park—they’re guaranteed to bring a few unexpected (and fun) moments to your day.
3. Meet The Animals Up Close
One of the highlights? The animal experiences in collaboration with Al Ain Zoo. You’ll get the chance to meet friendly animals, check out reptiles and birds, and even step into a petting zoo. There are also interactive workshops that teach kids about caring for animals, making it both fun and a little educational too.
4. Food Worth The Trip
All that exploring is going to work up an appetite—and DAZ has that covered. The food area is packed with a mix of global favourites and local concepts, serving everything from comfort bites to indulgent desserts.
And of course, there are coffee spots on standby for that much-needed pick-me-up in between all the action.
A Nature Escape That’s Totally Worth It
Just under 90 minutes from Dubai or Abu Dhabi, this is one of those easy road trips that actually feels like a mini getaway. Surrounded by greenery, DAZ Festival is all about slowing down, spending time together, and enjoying the outdoors in a fun and interactive way.
Ticket Prices You’ll Never Believe
And now the part you’ve eagerly been waiting for. Drum roll please… Tickets are just AED 25 per person! Sounds too good to be true but it’s 100% real. Having fun with the whole family has been looked more affordable. And that’s the DAZ Festival charm I’ve been talking about.
