Beyond Dome is a 360° dome at Dubai Festival City Mall, set about 100 metres outside the South Entrance at Festival Bay, next to the IMAGINE waterfront show.

The single films, The Great Dinosaur Secret, The Great Solar System Adventure and Expedition Reef, cost AED 75 for a child aged 3 to 12 and AED 85 for an adult.

The activity

Attractions & Edutainment, explained

Beyond Dome is a 20-metre 360° dome outside Dubai Festival City Mall where films are projected all over the curved ceiling, so you lie back and the picture fills your whole view, with spatial sound around you. It is a short ticketed show rather than a play area: each programme runs 25 to 55 minutes, at set slots from Friday to Sunday. The themes are dinosaurs, space and the ocean, from a solar system journey and a dinosaur film made with generative AI to a coral reef film and real underwater footage. Every family show is listed for ages 3 and up.

Who it's for

Families with children aged 3 and up: every family show is listed for ages 3+, and children under 3 go in free. Child tickets cover ages 3 to 12, and children under 12 must be with an adult. The films are gentle, look-up-and-watch shows, so they suit younger children who might not manage a long theatre show. Schools can book curriculum-aligned programmes for students aged 5 to 18, in groups of 20 to 80. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park. The language of the narration is not published, so ask Beyond Dome if that matters for your children.

What to expect

You book a show and a time slot online from the Tickets page, and the site asks you to arrive 10 minutes early. Inside the dome you recline and look up while the film plays across the whole ceiling, with sound coming from different directions. A single film lasts 25 or 30 minutes; The Great Dinosaur Secret comes with a bonus film, Nebula: Cradle of Creation. Combos run 45 or 55 minutes. Seats are limited per show, so booking ahead is sensible. You can reschedule for free up to 24 hours before your slot. Whether you can buy tickets at the door is not published: ask Beyond Dome.
