Zamania by Leo & Loona is now open in China Court at Ibn Battuta Mall, Dubai — a roughly 2,389 m² indoor 'sportainment' park aimed at pre-teens, teenagers and families rather than just toddlers.
- Attractions include a double-level Ninja Warrior course with zipline, trampolines, interactive climbing walls, giant slides, racing simulators and a wide spread of arcade-style sports games.
- A dedicated toddler zone and an 80-seat café mean mixed-age families and waiting parents are catered for too.
- Ticket prices, session structures and age/height limits aren't publicly listed yet — contact Zamania directly before planning a weekend or birthday visit.
The brand already runs more than 20 locations across Europe and is expanding across the GCC, and this Dubai venue is pitched as a permanent ‘sportainment’ park: sport plus entertainment, wrapped in a manga-inspired theme built around a character world called Zantaro’s. At around 2,389 square metres, it’s a proper multi-zone destination rather than a corner of the mall with some padding, and it’s open now.
Dubai teens just got their own arena: Zamania is now open at Ibn Battuta Mall with ninja courses, ziplines and racing sims
The headline attraction is a double-level Ninja Warrior course with a zipline, backed up by interactive climbing walls, trampoline challenges, reaction games and giant slides. That’s the physical half. The gaming half runs through the whole venue: Mario Kart racing machines, penalty kick simulators, basketball games, tabletop football, air blasters and digital challenges designed for friendly competition rather than solo button-mashing.
| Zone | Best for |
|---|---|
| Ninja course, zipline, climbing walls, trampolines | Pre-teens and teens who want a physical challenge |
| Racing simulators, arcade sports games, reaction games | Older kids, teens and competitive parents |
| Giant slides, labyrinth and maze zones, car track | Younger children and mixed-age groups |
| Toddler zone with soft play and sensory activities | The youngest siblings |
| 80-seat café with burgers, pizzas and healthier options | Parents, and teens hanging out between rounds |
That last row matters more than it sounds. The café is designed as part of the experience — a place for teenagers to catch up with friends after a few rounds of competition, and for parents to sit down with a view of the action rather than hovering awkwardly by the entrance.
Why the teen focus is the interesting bit
Elizaveta Rossiiskaia, who leads Zamania’s GCC expansion, was explicit about the thinking behind it: older children and teenagers rarely get spaces designed for them, and Zamania is meant to be somewhere they can be active with friends without it feeling like a kiddie venue. She also called Ibn Battuta Mall ‘a natural fit’ as the brand’s first Dubai location, given its standing as a family destination.
It fits a broader pattern of Dubai entertainment venues carving out more specific audiences — from Black Bunny’s neon-and-VR arcade in Al Quoz to SOCO’s bowling-and-arcade combo coming to City Centre Mirdif. Zamania’s bet is that the pre-teen and teen bracket is big enough, and underserved enough, to sustain a dedicated 2,000-plus square metre venue. Given how many Dubai parents have spent weekends negotiating with a bored 13-year-old, it’s not a bad bet.
Before you go
The venue is fully indoors and air-conditioned, in China Court at Ibn Battuta Mall on Sheikh Zayed Road, and it’s built as a stay-a-few-hours destination rather than a quick arcade stop. Walk-ins appear to be accepted — launch posts simply invite visitors in, with no mention of mandatory pre-booking.
What isn’t public yet: ticket prices, session structures, and age or height limits for attractions like the Ninja course, trampolines and racing simulators. Zamania has a dedicated tickets and booking contact page with phone and email details, and the venue promotes birthday and celebration use, which suggests party packages and group bookings are available or on the way. If you’re planning a weekend visit or a birthday, ring ahead to confirm peak-time capacity, any timed sessions, and restrictions for the more physical attractions — particularly if you’re bringing children at either end of the age range.
