5 fun new gaming and entertainment spots to get excited for in Dubai
From licensed bars with crazy golf courses to trampoline parks and golf simulators…
There’s a new wave of destinations opening their doors in right now – and we’re here for it. Say hello to the city’s slew of new indoor entertainment destinations. Adults-only mini golf spots peppered with bars, augmented reality cricket sims at a licensed hub, and a new family-friendly adventure park set to become the biggest in Dubai, are just a handful of summer openings to get excited for.
Here are 5 fun new gaming and entertainment spots coming to Dubai very soon.
Now open: Tiger Strikes
Looking to keep cool and have some fun this summer? Then get yourself to just-opened Tiger Strikes. Located within Megaplex Dubai, adjacent to the Grand Hyatt Dubai, the adults-only entertainment destination offers bowling, cricket simulators, digital darts and pool. You’ll be able to split up and roll with it on six bowling lanes, adorned in neon lights. Players can alter their speed or power with a variety of weighted bowling balls, as they look to strike big. Alongside bowling, the new venue is the first in the city to offer WIKIT, augmented reality cricket simulators. Set across three immersive cages, players can mimic playing like a pro on the pitch with virtual bowlers and real-time graphics. More traditional bar games located at Tiger Strikes include state-of-the-art digital darts boards, and several pool tables.
Swingers

London’s popular crazy golf venue Swingers is opening on Bluewaters Island this autumn, and we can’t wait. For those who aren’t familiar with the concept, Swingers is an adults-only venue with several nine-hole crazy golf courses, street food from renowned vendors, an extensive drinks menu for post-putt cocktails, and live DJs creating a party atmosphere. Each Swingers venue is made to look and feel like an English country club, bringing nature indoors with plants and trees and windmill-themed golf courses – so we can’t wait to see what the Dubai iteration looks like. When it opens later this year on Bluewaters, there will be three courses to tackle, as well as three bars to enjoy drinks from.

There will be plenty of ways to test your skills, with a whole host of experiences to check out. The indoor adventure park will be home to a series of trampolines, so you can bounce around in style, as well as bowling alleys, laser tag, arcade games, shuffleboard and something called ‘slime universe’, which we’re curious to find out more about.
