The amenities for kids in the malls overseas are surreal!! I had a chance to visit the Abu Dhabi mall and I was mind-blown by the opportunites provided there. Though my daughter is regretfully yet to go, the restaurants, the malls, the streets, they’re often overflowing with entertainment for kids to learn!! All while parents can take a break and/or can engage as well. Some places in the Middle East are SOOO freaking family friendly, I was STUNNED! hahaha. We don’t get that impression from daily television & media in the USA. But, I have noticed this on my recent trips to the Middle East and even felt a bit betrayed/conufsed by my own country and its lack of this awareness for this HUGE gap we have not kept up with: the ability to entertain and teach kids. I thought education was bad… but so is “after school fun/learning”. There are dozens of choices in the malls for ways to entertain your kids, restaurants commonly have incredible play areas attached… I think the Middle East (maybe parts of Turkey, Abu Dhabi, even Armenia in some places, Georgia!) they’d all be fantastic places to bring your kid for a few hours, days, weeks, months, and just enjoy the amenities. At least consider it, and/or be inspired to get more going on here in the USA to improve the lives of kids.
Why Go? It’s one thing to say it, but it’s another to show it (and to see it yourself!) I recently captured many different locations in the Abu Dhabi Mall which were fantastic options for entertaining your kids!! I can’t believe we don’t have a culture like this over in the USA and I’d like to see it change. It’s not just Abu Dhabi, either… I’ve seen this all over the Middle East on my explorations. I was shocked, since I had never seen anything like it throughout my time in the USA (and even China). This is fantastic and exceptional. I hope to gather more evidence to show in the future. It’s so inspiring on so many levels.
