A week of exciting competitions for toddlers and children was officially inaugurated on Sunday, July 25, at Mirdif City Centre as part of the ongoing Dubai Summer Surprises. The competitions were flagged off by Salem Al Dhamani, General Manager, Playnation, and Yousif Mubarak, Chief Operations Officer of the Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment.
Yousif Mubarak said, "These fun contests bring together children and parents and more than the competition, this event brings alive the spirit of family and a sense of togetherness. This event reflects the variety of entertainment on offer for visitors to shopping malls throughout the summer."
Spread across two locations of Mirdif City Centre, the competitions feature three arenas in the Central Galleria and four additional zones at Playnation.
