OliOli Dubai Birthday Party Packages & Prices: 2026 Guide
I stood under the giant suspended net canopy of Toshi Nets on a warm Saturday morning, watching twelve six-year-olds scramble across woven neon tunnels while their parents chatted comfortably with flat whites in hand. As a Dubai parent who has attended dozens of birthday bashes across soft play warehouses and bowling alleys, the calm focus inside OliOli immediately stood out. There were no flashing arcade screens or deafening token buzzers, just genuine sensory delight.
When planning your own child celebration here, navigating package tiers, workshop add-ons, and catering guidelines can feel daunting without upfront numbers. Having hosted my daughter milestone party at the Al Quoz museum this season, here is the complete breakdown of packages, hidden costs, food rules, and timing tips you need to know.

OliOli Dubai Birthday Party Package Tiers and Pricing
OliOli structures its birthday celebrations around two core packages designed to accommodate different age groups and party sizes. The standard Classic Play package starts at AED 149 per child on weekdays and AED 179 per child on weekends from Friday through Sunday. For parents seeking structured creative activities, the Epic Workshop package is priced at AED 199 per child on weekdays and AED 229 per child on weekends. Both options require a minimum booking of 10 children and include access to the museum galleries alongside dedicated private party room time.
Every booking requires a non-refundable deposit of AED 500 at reservation to secure your chosen room and calendar slot. The final headcount and balance payment are finalized 72 hours before the event date. Two complimentary adult passes are included for the birthday child parents, while additional accompanying adults pay AED 45 each to enter the galleries.
Package | Weekday Price | Weekend Price |

Classic Play | AED 149 child | AED 179 child |
Epic Workshop | AED 199 child | AED 229 child |
Extra Adult | AED 45 adult | AED 45 adult |
Book weekday afternoon slots between 2 PM and 4 PM to get quieter galleries and lower per-child rates.
Six Interactive Themes for the 2026 Party Season
For the autumn and winter party season, OliOli introduced six interactive themes that blend hands-on science experiments with creative crafts. Each theme runs as a 30-minute facilitator-led workshop inside a private lab before the children head into the open play galleries. The workshops are tailored to specific age brackets between 2 and 11 years old, ensuring developmentally appropriate tasks that hold kids attention without overwhelming them.
Party hosts handle materials setup, guided instructions, and cleanup so parents never have to manage art supplies. Children take home their physical creations at the end of the session, eliminating the need for separate plastic party favor bags.
Creative Maker Themes for Ages Two to Five
Toddlers and younger children engage with sensory building challenges like Colour Splash Lab and Dino Dig Adventure. These themes emphasize tactile exploration, non-toxic washable pigments, and kinetic sand excavations under the guidance of trained facilitators.
Engineering and Science Themes for Ages Six to Eleven
Older children tackle mechanical challenges such as Rocket Launchers, Glow Circuitry, and Marble Mayhem. Participants construct working aerodynamic models and closed electronic loops using test tracks installed specifically for party groups.
What Every OliOli Party Package Includes
Understanding what is built into the base fee helps parents budget accurately before adding external suppliers. Every package provides two hours of total event time divided into gallery discovery and dedicated party room access. You receive full digital invitation templates branded with OliOli artwork that you can customize and message directly to guest parents on WhatsApp.
A dedicated party host coordinates the schedule from the moment your group gathers at the welcome reception desk. The host escorts children through priority zones, tracks wristband access, and leads the cake-cutting celebration inside your decorated room.
Two hours total venue access including 80 minutes in interactive galleries
Forty minutes exclusive use of a private themed party room
Dedicated party host managing group movement and cake celebration
Digital WhatsApp invitation templates with directions and maps
Complimentary grip socks for the birthday child and all child guests
Gift voucher offering free future entry for the birthday child
Catering Guidelines and Outside Food Policies
OliOli enforces clear food safety guidelines to protect young children with diverse dietary needs and allergies. You can order in-house meal boxes through the museum partner cafe featuring organic fruit cups, mini sliders, Margherita pizza squares, and fresh juices for AED 35 to AED 50 per child. In-house catering arrives warm directly to your room five minutes before the scheduled dining window.
Parents are permitted to bring external birthday cakes and themed cupcakes provided you present an official commercial bakery receipt. Home-baked cakes and outside hot catering platters are strictly prohibited under Dubai Municipality hygiene regulations. The venue supplies compostable plates, wooden cutlery, napkins, and cake servers, so you do not need to transport disposable dining sets across town.
Order juice boxes instead of open cups to avoid accidental spills on the museum wooden workshop tables.

Parents driving large SUVs can utilize the adjacent street RTA Dubai parking bays along 4th Street using zone 322B SMS codes.

FAQ
Can I bring my own decorations to an OliOli party room?
OliOli provides fully themed room backdrops, table runners, and banner installations in every package. You may bring free-standing table centrepieces or weighted balloon bouquets, but wall adhesives, confetti poppers, and pinatas are prohibited to protect room fixtures.
What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy for birthday parties?
If you notify OliOli at least 14 days prior to your reserved date, you can transfer your AED 500 deposit to another available calendar slot within three months. Cancellations submitted with less than 14 days notice forfeit the deposit entirely.
Are siblings of invited children allowed to join the party?
Siblings who wish to enter the party room and eat catering must be registered as paid child guests under the party headcount. Alternatively, parents can buy a regular general admission ticket at the reception desk for siblings to explore public galleries independently.
Do adults pay admission fees for children birthday parties at OliOli?
Each party reservation grants complimentary entry for two hosting parents. Additional adult relatives and chaperones who wish to enter the museum galleries must purchase discounted guest passes for AED 45 per adult at the front desk.
