This is my first post and I wanted to help the parents out there who are struggling to decide for anything and everything about their kids. This one is specific for party venues in Dubai.
There are a lot of promotions that are specific to kids' parties in Dubai. You can find these deals mostly from Groupon, Cobone, various nurseries and entertainment or activity venues. Kids definitely enjoy because of different activities that are included in mostly 2-hour program. But try to remember, every count of the kid is always plus one or two, with mommy, daddy or nanny alongside with them. You also can also be generous to adults by accommodating them with good meals and get them involved in games. There are numerous party venues that you can find here in Dubai, whether you have a good or low budget.

Restaurants
Other than the famous McDonalds and KFC, there are other well-known restaurants that relieve you from the stress of setting up a party.
Lila Cafe in TECOM is a very good venue for party. Although they do not have exclusive party hall, they have wide area where you can re-arrange the seats depending on your needs. Kids enjoy running and dancing with these ample spaces. They do not have decorations like balloons or provide party hosts. Their package per person as per our menu choice is 60 AED per person excluding desert. Kids are 50% off. Their menu as per our choice are really delicious. However, servings are lesser, but you can bring your own food with their permission. Contact them at 04 4543064.
Max Restaurant near behind Spinneys near Burjuman usually requires a minimum of 15 kids for party packages. If kids are lesser, you can pay for these number of kids and proceed with their kids' party packages. If not, you can have the option to pay only for certain kids but their program and party offers are limited. They usually have party host, party decors, mascot, prizes for games, and kids' give-aways. There are set of menus for adults that definitely fit your budget. The venue is quite tight, but still worth it. What is best in here is their CHICKEN! Their contact number is 04 3257797.
If you love the taste of classic Filipino food, Barrio Fiesta inside Burjuman will be for right you. They have 1 big party hall that includes balloon decorations and party host.

Hotels
Sometimes the rates of the restaurants per person equates to those with hotels. It is just the perception of being "cozy and expensive" when you say "hotel", but it is not all same as what you might think.
One good venue is Yassat Gloria Hotel Apartments in TECOM, facing Gloria Hotel in Internet City along Sheikh Zayed Road. They have a minimum meal package for 25 persons to avail the free venue. Kids above 3 is 50% off the price but as for our case, they did not count them in as the servings are lavish that they even allowed as to take away the foods. Cost per person ranges from 100-110 AED as of January 2014. The party hall is cozy and have great views as it is situated at 40th floor. They will only supply the projector, sound system and some support. Decorations, table center piece, party host, give-aways will be from you. But believe me, if you are wise on setting up things, the cost is almost the same as with ordinary restaurants. Contact them at 04 3818888.

Cost-Saving Party Places
If you are conscious about the budget, there are other means where to celebrate such as:
1. Park - you can have a sports theme party and you can set up decorations in the park. Recommended park venues are Barsha Park, Safa Park and Creek Park. But if the party falls on summer, you have to look for other alternatives.
2. Beach - the public beach at The Beach in JBR can be a very good swimming party venue. Just watch out for the weather.
3. Community Center - some exclusive residential developments have free or low at rental cost social halls and private pools just for the residents. Examples are in The Greens next to Emirates Golf Club. Take the advantage of these facilities.
4. Party Halls at Buildings - some buildings have party halls for free and some have costs. One example is the 500 AED for whole day rental. Correct me if I'm wrong, an example is Jumeirah Lakes Tower in JLT (if I remember it right). You can avail this if you have are a resident on that building.
5. Party at Home - try to decorate things at home. Ask for friends or relatives' assistance for setting up. The best advantage of this if you have enough space, you can do anything without restrictions other than toning down the volume of the speaker, making loud noises or inappropriate acts that will disturb neighbors
