Children can now enjoy a series of swashbuckling adventures at Al Majaz Waterfront, one of the premier tourist and leisure destinations in Sharjah. The facility’s popular Mini Splash Park has opened its ‘Pirates Village,’ promising kids of all ages an array of refreshing fun activities up until August 19.

Little ones participating in the first week of the Pirates Village have enjoyed face-painting sessions, handicraft workshops, and giant bubble sessions, which have shown them how to create huge floating spheres. They have engaged in pirate chases and fought pirate battles with water-filled ‘cannonball’ balloons.

 

The children attending Al Majaz Waterfront’s Mini Splash Park summer entertainment programme have the chance to meet renowned pirate captain Jack Sparrow, star of the Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise, who performs a thrilling entertainment silent mime show, as well as engage with the stilt-walking pirates who are roaming throughout the venue.

Al Majaz Waterfront’s summer entertainment programme aims to develop children’s social skills, provide them with the perfect environment to play and interact with their peers, and to make the summer holidays an exciting and stimulating time. The waterfront’s Mini Splash Park is just one of its numerous facilities that have been designed to provide every family member with a fun-filled and memorable experience.

The AED 120 million Al Majaz Waterfront – Sharjah Investment and Development Authority’s debut project – opened in March 2012, and is situated in Sharjah’s most vibrant and commercial district on the Khalid Lagoon. As one of the premier tourist and leisure destinations in Sharjah, it plays host to major events in the emirate.

Al Majaz Waterfront houses many world-class restaurants and cafes overlooking the breath-taking Sharjah Fountain. In addition to the Mini Splash Park, Al Majaz Waterfront also offers mini golf, a play area and Alwan, an activity centre designed exclusively for children to spend quality time with their parents or simply to have fun.
