A pleasant surprise.

AYA wasn’t originally on our itinerary. We chose to visit simply because it was close to our hotel and we had a few hours to spare before heading to the airport. I’m so glad we did—it turned out to be a fantastic experience. Having already visited TeamLab in Abu Dhabi, AYA doesn’t quite match it in terms of size or scale, but it absolutely holds its own. In fact, especially if you book through a third-party app like Klook (we saved around 30%), I think it offers excellent value for money. Each room has its own unique theme, ensuring there’s always something new to discover. The staff deserve a special mention—they were friendly, professional and incredibly helpful, happily showing us the best spots for photos and even taking some fantastic pictures and videos that were instantly Instagram-worthy. Our seven-year-old son also loved collecting stickers in his little passport as we explored each zone, which added another fun element to the experience. The highlight for all of us was the final room—a gigantic ball pit. I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed so much as the three of us swam, jumped and played our way through what felt like hundreds of thousands of balls. It was pure family fun. If you have a couple of hours in Dubai, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AYA. It was the perfect way to end our holiday.

Operator response

This honestly means so much to us! ❤️ We’re truly touched to hear that AYA became such a special part of your family’s Dubai trip, especially when it wasn’t even part of the original plan. Knowing you left with so many laughs, great memories, and moments you’ll remember together makes us incredibly happy. We’re so grateful you chose to spend those final hours of your holiday with us, and we hope to welcome you and your family back again someday! ✨

A Magical Universe for All Ages — Even Better the Second Time!

This was my second visit to AYA Universe, and this time I brought along family visiting from India — and what a wonderful choice it turned out to be! Our group ranged from a 3-year-old all the way up to a senior citizen over 70, and every single one of us was completely enchanted. AYA Universe is located inside WAFI City Mall and It's a journey through different chambers, each with its own theme of light, sound, and motion. As you move from room to room, you genuinely feel like you've become part of a vast, glowing universe. The reverse waterfalls, the cosmic gardens that seem to bloom around you, the mirrored infinity chambers, and the giant glowing ball pit were absolute highlights for everyone in our group. What makes it so special for a mixed-age group is that it's self-paced — there's no rigid path or rushing. You're even given a "passport" at the start to guide you through the zones, which adds a fun, collectible element for the kids. The interactivity sets it apart from more passive attractions — the lights and visuals respond to your touch and movement, so you're not just watching, you're truly part of the art. Photography is allowed throughout, and honestly every corner is picture-perfect. A few practical tips: plan for at least 90 minutes for a relaxed visit, expect short queues at the more popular rooms, and note that food and drinks aren't allowed inside. It's an indoor, air-conditioned escape, which makes it perfect year-round regardless of Dubai's heat. Whether you're visiting with kids, parents, or grandparents, AYA Universe is a beautiful, emotional, and unforgettable experience.

Operator response

This review truly made our day! ✨ Knowing you came back to AYA Universe for a second visit and brought your family all the way from India makes this even more special. And hearing that everyone from a 3-year-old to a 70+ family member was enchanted by the experience is honestly the best feedback we could ask for! We love that you noticed so many of the little details, from the interactive rooms and glowing worlds to the passport that makes the journey even more fun. Creating an experience where the whole family can explore, connect, and make unforgettable memories together is exactly what AYA is all about. We’re genuinely so touched that AYA became part of your family’s Dubai memories. Thank you for coming back and sharing such a thoughtful review and we can’t wait to welcome you all again! 💫

Immerse into the Aya Universe

I guess I have to start from the beginning. It was my first time in Dubai and, actually, my second time entering a space dedicated to the immersive experience. I have to say that it doesn't stand a chance against the Tokyo Lab immersive experiment, but none the less it was great. The space is apperantly small but the designers really made use of it. Before entering you are given a (literally) passport into the Aya universe which helps you a lot with the layout. (A huge plus, because we got lost a lot of times in Tokyo Labs and at some point it becomes frustruating). You check out each exhibit, you collect the stickers of each room/world you step into and you are left at the end with the experience, the photos and, of course, the new AYA `citizenship`. The staff is amazing and helps you blend into the story. Don't be surprised to see lines to some rooms or atractions. The universe is obviously a great attraction so the huge crowd of people coming through the doors at peak hours is just the right answer. The plus is that if you lay down in one of the rooms for about 10 minutes, you will be surprised to see that most of the influencers will be gone in no time.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience 🤍✨ We love that you noticed all the little details, from the passport journey to collecting stickers through each world of AYA 🌌 And thank you for the kind words about our team too, they’ll be so happy to hear this!

Hope your first trip to Dubai was a memorable one, and that we get to welcome you back to AYA again someday ✨

Immersive Digital Art Experience!

We recently visited AYA Universe and had an amazing time. Aya is a futuristic indoor attraction where light, sound and technology come together. Expect multi-sensory themed zones where light meets imagination. If you’re looking for an immersive digital art experience in Dubai, then look no further. It is a great venue for the entire family.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this beautiful feedback 🤍✨ We’re really glad you and your family had an amazing time at AYA Universe! We hope to welcome you all back again soon for another unforgettable experience ✨

Wonderful

It was so good experience, i like it so much. But i thought there will be more light shows or unbelievable things that it shocks us. It must be more good like it. At the end, me and my family liked AYA Universe so much and we're pleased too.

Thank you for sharing your feedback 🤍✨ We really appreciate it and are glad you and your family enjoyed your visit to AYA Universe 🌌

Great experience, AYA is worth it!

That's a great ride. Worth their money, went right after visiting the Future Museum, here liked it better. We arrived on a weekday evening, there were few people, the tickets were bought immediately on the spot, and went through the halls, getting space passports) Half of the zones are quite uncomplicated, if you look closely, you can pick on even some budget execution. For example, finishing materials and faint not-so-bright projectors that give a dim picture on painted walls and ceiling. The same thing was observed on the observation deck of the Framework. Like the same guys were doing it. But in a room with the Ava Tree, and especially in a room that's made up entirely of mirrors and mirrored columns, you don't even remember that. Very beautifully made, in addition to the changing colors of the surroundings very well selected space musical themes. But there's no point in running the gyms, because you can stay in each one for a few sessions, nobody goes anywhere. Interesting experience, even if half the zones are fairly predictable. BUT the aforementioned are worth visiting at least once. If you are in the mood, you can have a great time with cosmic motifs and colorful decorations. I think Dubai is one of the most interesting places to spend time. There can be many more visitors on weekends, so it makes sense to go on weekdays. We walked from the "nearest" bus station, didn't even take a car. Yes, walk about 40-45 minutes, but didn't waste time looking for parking spaces, check-in, and actually renting a car. Ticket prices are consistent with the show, never regretted attending. I recommend just looking at the photos and videos before you go to see if you need it or not)

Not suitable for kids

We were really looking forward to this experience with our 3 year old. Firstly it is NOT suitable for toddlers or even kids I would say. From teenagers it is ok. I felt the experiences to be too intense even for some adults

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback 🤍 We’re sorry to hear the experience felt intense for your little one. We understand every child reacts differently to immersive environments, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your personal experience 🌌
