Very nice mall with large spaces for kids to play as well as exhibits. We went for the #Dubai30x30 opening weekend. lt was a great event with lots to do. The baby changing rooms are clean and well thought trough. Moms can easily feed and change their little one without any fret.

Amazing fountain starts every after 1 hour gap i believe i have seen 2 fountain shows. Very nice music with fountain and the spacious a huge crowd can watch all togetger very clean tidy area and the mall it self very good and spacious parking. Good luck

Good place for weekend family entertainment. Water show with digital video projection is an amazing experience during weekend nights after 8pm. There’s lots of entertainment and open space available also boat rides were amazing.

Amazing place for the family. All brands and famous shops are there. Also do not forget to visit the see front with amazing water fountain and lovely music. Good place for kids to play and enjoy thier times.

Indeed a nice place to visit with family and friends. A nice view of sunset facing Burj Khalifa. Amazing laser show at 8pm almost everyday.#letsguide

Loved the shops and the Water and Light show in the evening. Plenty of restaurants and outside has lots of places to sit and stroll about. Great for all the family. Be careful if your getting a taxi, first time I ever came across this but there are ordinary metered ones that charge the normal price and very expensive ones that cost a fortune. ( I think it was a Lexus) Didnt notice until we were on our way there was no meter so they charge whatever they want.

Dubai festival city is a huge shopping mall ,it have several brands shop .there are several nice place to have dinner .it have a fountain with a very interesting show every 30min.i liked the place very much

Best to view waterfront to watch Light festival. Huge mall

A good variety of brands and outlets are available in a relatively reasonable space. Entertainment options include cinema, outdoor and indoor restaurants. The mall is connected to IKEA in case you need some household items.

It is a good . Place for outing Dunai festival city mall just out side that you can view water dancing with a very good projector on it a very big projector over the building as well.The mall has KFC etc. As all the malls have it

Best ever experience..the light and water show is the perfect one... best place to spend time with kids and family in weekend...And also the festival city mall have all the major outlets

Super experience! Fire, laser, water, all in the same show. Just incredible

A top attraction,where you can see the fountain on the lake. Looks great during night time with music along with lights.

One of the biggest maals in dubai after the dubai mall, the fountain show over here is fabulous. And it will be held once in one hour till 10.00 pm in the night from 6.00 PM. Its a water fountain with laser show. And even the mall is a very big one having multi national brands in it. On every Friday the local people are allowed to put up their own stalls in the mall to sell home made goods and stuff.

Nice Big, Wide MallWith Beach Water Front.Next to IkEA, Centerpoint.Always Busy specially during Festival Days.Fireworks on 1st 3 days of Eid Holidays at 9 and 10:30

The mall has become a new attraction in town. It was improved a lot with new stores and new activities. The cinema is new.Not 5 star, because the waterfront can be better developed with more attractions and kids areas.The new Imagine Show is very interesting and intense, best show in Dubai right now. The images are projected on a water curtain. The 3D effects are very well created.A must see show, if you enjoy 3D projections.

Amazing show but the only problem is there r very limited seats.

100% you need PAID PARKING!Or very soon the mall becomes unaccessible!Very nice design! Bravi!

Such a lovely view and massive arena for various events. Didnt get to enter the mall though. But I hope to visit the mall some other time. Lovely place. 😍😍😍😍.

Wonderful experience... dont miss

Good place for leisure, fun and shopping. On special occasions like New Year Eve, a beautiful fireworks and laser show is arranged..one also enjoys nice music and fun.

Mall only half renovated, still lots of empty areasEspecially at the opposite end from M & S.But an amazing Arabic restaurant at the quiet end, Semsom.A great gem, with shisha!Enjoy the fountain and a great food.

Nice place to visit and relax, lovely show. Theres a show every 30 minutes starting at 7pm and ending at 10pm & watching the water and fire laser dance with music

Very nice place. With a light show in the evening.

Every evenings, there is a light and sound fountain show by Imagine, at the waterfront. Images are shared below. The show is free to watch and hosts every 30 mins with different themes. Also, Wi-Fi is free !

The best mall and water front for me in Dubai, especially imagine activities ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing show! I think it is better than Dubai Mall fountains.

Great place , a little far from metro ,but you can take taxi from metro ,it would take 12-15 AED only.. The fountain show here is a must watch , very different from the other ones. Good restaurants n the movie hall is great.

Visited the Cheesecake Factory for a morning business meeting and it was such a wonderful experience that enjoyed completely and it made my day and added to an awesome visit to Dubai. I had a wonderful delicious breakfast, the service was smooth and on time and the people I met added great value to this amazing experience.

Amazing show! The best ten minutes. The show combine lights, fire, water and projections

Nice place with laser show and good view. Its one of the prestigious mall of dubai. Lot of shopping options and novocinemas

We pretty much loved the khor cruise at night

Nice Mall and great dancing fountains with laser show

Big mall with a lot of and free parking space. Completed facility, clean and have food court, Cinema, IKEA, Carrefour, Toys City, Novo Cinemas and Hard Rock Cafe.Good for family spend weekend

Excellent place for family and kids in good weather

During the national day event, I loved the water and laser show at night, then the fire works were amazing, while I was enjoying Kounafa and Turkish ice cream from the outside carts, we ended up eating popcorn as well. Some of my friends tried the slushies where they loved its taste while enjoying the show..

Beautiful mall but almost empty with people. I have been here two times and its almost empty.Many stores and they even have IKEA!Recommended to visit this mall.

Fountain with music and fire..Good experience.. more interesting than Dubai mall fountain.

Now this is again a wonderful place to visit specially the theme 3d laser water show for complete family a good package

Amazingly beautiful place ..especially for weekend

Great location with wonderful waterfront. The garments shops and restaurants are just good combination and the opening of more restaurants is on going.My favourite restaurants are all in one area in the center part of the mall, Cheesecake factory, Paul, Eataly and PF Chang.As of the garments shops, the opening of Zara, H & M has added value to the mall.Also, the recent opening of GODIVA Chocolatier has given a luxury touch to the mall.Also, the opening of Carrefour supermarket in the place of Hyper panda has also had a wonderful impact on the mall due to the great trust of Carrefour amongst shoppers in Dubai.And last but not least, IKEA has been always giving great value to the mall.Highly recommended to visit for all ages.

Full of life.. innovation.. multi generational

The Waterfront is a great place to go and unwind for a bit. There are usually programs lined up during festive holidays such as Eid and national day. The light and water show is a great sight for both kids and adults. The surroundings are home to great restaurants with options of a quick snack or even fine dining.

Great mall with beautiful views,nice food court and shops

Good place to relax and windup on a weekend

There is a beautiful lazer show every hour starting from 7pm everyday. Should not miss it..!

The waterfront show is cool, recommended for kids and kids at heart!

One of the best sight seeing in Dubai.The centre has lot of shops.But the main highlight is the water fountain.One of the best in world. The place is filled with lot of grass and you can sit and watch the show.The grass is artificial so if you have kids watch them not to eat it.Kids will enjoy it. The show timings will be 10 mins once in half an hour.20 mins you will be great and kids will enjoy it.You can also but foods in the centre and also turkey ice cream will be available in the area.So you can use buy them and enjoy the whole night with your family.The timings will beIn weekends - 7:00-10:00In weekdays - 7:00-9:00.Try it and the facilities will be available inside the centre.You have restroom and feeding room and everything is available inside the centre so better use it before you enter the show.Bus stop and the centre will be 500-600 metre distance.The main show will be one hour once and in gap they provide a simple show with basic water fountain and lights after half an hour of the main show.

A wonderful show but keep in mind stand on the stairs do not get too close to the water front , coz u r gonna get wet

Picturesque line of restaurants. Best in winter

Perfect place for family and kids

Nice place , there is lights work every night

Amazing mall with great options for shopping for everything you need under one roof , my fav mall to watch movies and for IKEA, very easy to find parking love to watch the water fire show by IMAGE ,which is attracting crowd on weekends to watch the show its mind blowing .

A great, no, fantastic Mall. Lots of shops of all kind, coffee shops and restaurants. It is slowly getting busier, now that the bus tour stops here and theres a water bus connection from canal metro. It is very spacious compared to other malls, with lots of natural light. It, also, has a water and fire, lazers and music story told in the harbour. So shop, have a coffee and snack, catch a movie, see whats new in ikea, get a 1 dirham ice cream, shop the next floor, let your children play in Fabyland, go out to watch the evening show, have a meal outside, watching the next show. Maybe too much for one day. Enjoy it for 2 or 3. Dont worry about getting home, theres always a bus, boat or cab waiting for you.

... the place becomes SCI FI !come specially at 9pm every Friday for a spectacular laser, hologram, fountain...oh my whatever! Its sooo amazingly immersive!

A wonderfull experience #lightshow #fireshow #fountain

Beautiful place to visit. The marina, the views and especially the site and sound with the dancing fountains in the pool in front of the center. it is definitely worth visiting while doing a late evening shopping at the Festival Centre. Can make a nice break of a long day. I think I will go again to see more. I like the place.

Amazing views, amazing light shows, great variety of restaurants, pretty good mall, beautiful decor, ample parking... I mean this place ticks all the right boxes and then some..!! Highly recommended..!!

Very Awesome water show

If you get the boat over to this mall you wont be disappointed. Its new and as the name implies is on the waterfront. Various good quality shops are situated on each of the floors as well as a food court. There are plenty of more upmarket restaurants overlooking the waterfront and are great to watch the amazing evening light and sound shows. The show should not be missed!!!

The place is very beautiful and situated near creek water bay.a good view of Dubai eye and Dubai festival city.sitting area is avail to relax and watch the ferry to move around.big shopping complex with lots of fun activities. You can watch movies if you love the shopping you have a great choice available over there. If are foody guy there is lots of restaurant in front part of Dubai festival city.there is lot more to do.if you want to visit the nearest metro station would be creek from there you have walk little ahead to get ferry to go to Dubai festival city or you can hire a taxi.if you can afford because its little expensive.thank you hope the review will be helpful for you all.

The Festival City Waterfront is a decent place for an outing with family or friends specially in good weather conditions.The view is great with open areas for kids. There is arena for musical performances etc.There are variety of restaurants and cafe available for dining and quick bites.

The best light show Ive seen and A true visual treat. It transported me back to a time when every experience is awesome. I was pleasantly surprised by the holo effect in the mist and the orbiting planets on the facade of the building. Ive almost dropped my phone when the pyrotechnics started. I can feel the heat in my face right where i stand. It was indeed an exhilarating experience.

Great place for watching cultural events, new year eve is a event to watch with family. I will advise to carry some refreshments and portable chairs to wait and watch the events. Great place to take your guest for the dinner. One of the most happening place in dubai.

I really like festival city.. Really nice mall.. But they need to have more security guys in the mall..If you want directions no1 is always available to help.
