★★★★★4 years agoI really enjoyed Mohammed’s birthday party in Al Jalila Cultural Centre. Well organized and it was lots of fun ❤️. It's great place for kids activities, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

★★★★★7 months agoMy kids went to camp there. It was an outstanding experience, it’s such a hidden gem. At the end of the camp they performed a show and had an exhibition. The only thing I didn’t like is my kid reported me that only the filipino assistant was doing the class, the main teacher was just staying on her phone all class long. Very rude for the kid who felt worthless.
