A lovely place for the kids and adults to hangout. After a long time my daughter tried her hands at skating.

We visited Reel Cinemas in Dubai Mall as a ‘date night’ and had such a good time. It’s easy to find and the mall car park is well sign posted to reach the appropriate section for the cinema. We bought our tickets online in advance as you get a 2 for 1 offer if you have a HSBC credit card (they also have 2 for 1 offers on the Entertainer App too). There were plenty of food options to choose from there located within the cinema - or even better there was a food court in the main mall area with hundreds of options to choose from. We had the dine-in VIP cinema option and thought the food was really nice. The VIP cinemas are smaller than the usual and seem to be better quality (however our favourite are the dolby cinemas for quality). Overall a great cinema and good value for money!

It was our first time at the café and we absolutely loved the concept. We had loads of fun while playing two board games and eating away one of the yummiest kit-kat chessecakes we ever tasted. The staff were really friendly and helped us with the rules of the games. An undeniably amazing place to chill and unwind; we would definitely go again!
