Expo City Dubai is leading this change by turning its iconic centerpiece into a submerged theater. It is a smart way to let children burn off energy while staying fully immersed in their favorite stories.
This Saturday, the Little Splashers Cinema takes over the majestic Al Wasl Plaza. This is not your standard sedentary film screening.

For those seeking a family cinema experience that breaks the mold, this event offers six hours of continuous fun from noon until early evening. It is an ideal setting for siblings to bond while parents enjoy the unique architecture of the plaza.

The logistics are as smooth as the water, with tickets priced at a flat AED 50 for all activities.

Small children under three and People of Determination with a caregiver enter for free, ensuring the afternoon is inclusive for everyone. You can settle in with classic cinema snacks like crunchy popcorn and cheesy nachos while the kids navigate the water zones.
The energy of Al Wasl Season is all about community and discovery. While the kids are occupied with the splashing and the big screen, the surrounding district offers plenty of space for a weekend stroll. It is a relatable, human way to spend a Saturday without the usual stress of indoor play areas. The collaboration with VOX Cinemas ensures the projection quality and sound are top-tier, even in an open-air environment.
