Choose your playdates option

Playdates are how kids deepen friendships and discover new ones. La Folie's hosted playdates handle the activities, structure and energy management so parents can actually chat with each other instead of refereeing.

Playdates are for brunches, family gatherings and school circles, not for birthday celebrations. Our hosts bring group games and activities. They do not bring the birthday-style show, themed entertainment and party management that celebrate your loved one. Celebrating a birthday? See our Birthday Parties or book a Birthday package.

Frequently asked

Playdates questions answered

What is a kids playdate in Dubai?

A kids playdate is a hosted gathering of 6 to 25 children, 60 or 90 minutes, focused on play and friendship rather than the birthday-party intensity. La Folie's version brings a trained entertainer who runs activities and games so parents can socialise without organising.

How is a playdate different from a birthday party?

A La Folie playdate is for brunches, family gatherings and school circles, not for birthday celebrations. The host brings group games and activities, not the birthday-style show, themed entertainment and party management that celebrate one child. Birthday parties are a separate product with their own packages from AED 1,850 plus VAT. See Birthday Parties.

How much does a La Folie playdate cost in Dubai?

A La Folie playdate is one flat price for the group: AED 1,200 plus VAT for 60 minutes or AED 1,850 plus VAT for 90 minutes, with one entertainer for up to 15 children. From 16 to 25 children a second entertainer is added for AED 800. Playdates run for groups of 6 to 25 children. Extra time is AED 350 per 30 minutes per entertainer.

How many kids can attend a La Folie playdate?

La Folie playdates are for 6 to 25 children. One entertainer covers up to 15 children; from 16 to 25 children a second entertainer joins for AED 800. For more than 25 children, ask us about a group package.

What ages are La Folie playdates for?

Playdates work best for ages 2 to 12. Activities adjust by age group, from sensory and craft for the youngest to sport and team games for older kids.

Where does La Folie host playdates?

La Folie comes to your villa, apartment, garden, community room or rented venue across Dubai, the UAE, Lebanon and the GCC.
