Dubai’s favourite family-friendly ‘edutainment’ attraction is back this August, transforming Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) Halls 4–7 into an action-packed world featuring dinosaurs, robots, retro arcades, and digital playgrounds.
With 316 live shows scheduled daily until 28 August, Modesh World 2025 promises non-stop entertainment and unforgettable experiences for children and families. This year, guests can enjoy a refreshed unlimited-access ticket, giving them entry to the full day’s fun, including interactive shows, themed attractions, and surprises at every turn. Modesh and Dana, Dubai’s beloved mascots, will host singalongs, dance-alongs, and photo-friendly meet-and-greets.
Organised by DXB LIVE, the experiential agency of Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), in partnership with Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE) and as part of the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) calendar, the event’s headline acts transport audiences on an exciting journey through imagination and adventure.
THEMED ADVENTURES FOR ALL AGES
This year’s performances are centered around four thrilling themes: prehistoric adventures, futuristic robot worlds, retro arcade quests, and glowing digital cities. Children discover the importance of friendship and inclusion, the magic of teamwork and creativity, the power of resilience and problem-solving, and the joy of self-expression.
Leading the way is Jurassic Modesh, a prehistoric adventure where little explorers are invited to join the cast on stage for lively dino dances, roaring fun, and memorable photo moments with their new prehistoric pals. The energy shifts into high gear in Robot Laboratory, a high-tech playground where teamwork and music power up a cast of quirky robots. Gaming fans will love Game Over, where a glitch in the Time Machine zaps the heroes into a retro 80s arcade universe to dodge pixelated aliens in Space Invaders, stack Tetris blocks, and bounce through a Mario-inspired level in order to make it back home. Finally, the lights glow bright in The Future Will Be Digital, a journey through a dazzling city of the future that ends with a glow dance celebration and virtual photo op with the whole cast.
UNLIMITED, ALL-DAY ACCESS
The immersive performances are included as part of the refreshed all-access ticket for parents and children this year, allowing families to enjoy unlimited entry for the full day as they explore more, play more, and stay longer without paying separately for each experience. Priced at AED 25 per adult and AED 150 per child, the ticket unlocks a full day packed with non-stop fun, creativity, and excitement. Plus, families buying three tickets get the fourth ticket absolutely free. Additional savings are available for Esaad and Al Saada cardholders, while people of determination and their guardians or caregivers benefit from free entry.
These thrilling live shows complement Modesh World’s brand-new themed zones, 118 games and attractions, a jam-packed calendar of 316 thrilling live shows, and unlimited all-day ticketed access for families. Open daily from 10am-10pm from Mondays to Thursdays, and 10am-midnight on weekends (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays), Modesh World 2025 is the ultimate all-day summer playground for families looking to create unforgettable memories with Modesh and Dana.
