A new era of indoor entertainment has arrived at Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai with the opening of Zamania by Leo & Loona. This innovative venue, located in the China Court, combines gaming, physical challenges, and immersive design, catering specifically to pre-teens, teenagers, and families.
With over 20 locations across Europe and expanding throughout the GCC, Zamania offers a fresh approach to indoor play. Instead of conventional play areas, guests are transported into a vibrant, manga-inspired environment filled with obstacle courses, giant slides, and interactive gaming attractions. This destination promotes movement, friendly competition, and shared experiences.
Recognizing a gap in offerings for older children and teenagers, Zamania is designed to be more than just a playground. It aims to create a setting that allows these visitors to challenge themselves, connect with peers, and experience a sense of independence, all while still accommodating younger siblings and parents.
The key draw of Zamania is its concept of Sportainment, blending sports with entertainment. Visitors engage in action-packed challenges, such as a double level Ninja Warrior Course featuring a zipline, interactive climbing walls, trampoline challenges, and reaction games. Other attractions include giant slides, racing simulators, and multiplayer gaming experiences.
From Mario Kart racing machines to basketball simulators and tabletop football, gaming permeates every aspect of the venue. A dedicated toddler zone complete with soft play and sensory activities ensures that younger visitors are also entertained, making Zamania a family-friendly destination.
Beyond the activities, Zamania features an 80-seat café that offers a variety of food options from burgers and pizzas to healthier alternatives. This relaxed space is ideal for a quick break between activities or for teenagers to socialize after engaging in competitions.
Elizaveta Rossiiskaia, who oversees the expansion of Zamania in the GCC, stated, "When Zamania was coming to the region, it was never meant to be just another playground. Over the years I had seen how children's needs shift as they grow, and how few places let a toddler, a pre-teen and a teenager each find something real under one roof. What matters to me most is what Zamania gives older children and teenagers: not a place that asks them to prove themselves, but one where they can simply be - active, side by side with friends, and quietly certain that they are already enough, exactly as they are today. That's what this generation needs - and what I'm proud to bring to the families we serve." She further added, "When selecting our first location in Dubai, Ibn Battuta Mall was a natural fit. As one of the city's leading family destinations, it offers the ideal environment for a concept designed to bring different generations together."
Zamania is now open at Ibn Battuta Mall, inviting families in Dubai to exchange ordinary outings for thrilling obstacle courses, gaming challenges, and a host of new adventures that foster movement, imagination, and connection.
