In the spirit of Mother’s Day, let’s be honest about what we really want: a much-deserved break from parenting. Don’t feel guilty about it! It’s actually healthy and good for your kids to do some activities without you; it teaches them to have self-assurance and independence. So here are five places that you can drop off your darlings while you escape for a couple of hours. You can thank us later.
1.Ikea
Ring Road, Cairo Festival City, New Cairo
If you want to “shop until you drop” the way you did before you started a family, then congratulations! You’ve just won the lottery. Småland is a play area in Ikea for children between the ages of 4 and 10, where they can feel like they are romping around and having fun in a Swedish forest. The team of dedicated staff is customer-friendly and highly respectful; you can shop yourself to death knowing your children will be safe, cared for, and mingling with others their age. There is one more perk, the first 60 minutes are free of charge.
2. Sugar Spell
Road 6 in Maadi
At Sugar Spell, you can find a candy shop, swings, trampolines, and many more entertaining things for your kids to do while you are away. You can finally put your feet up and get the relaxation you deserve knowing your little darlings are having the times of their lives in the fun house of sweets and activities. We can guarantee your kids won’t get bored no matter how many times they go; there’s always more to do, eat, and explore.
3. KidZania
Ring Road, Cairo Festival City, New Cairo
KidZania is like a dream come true for every mother who wants to sneak away for a couple hours of solitude. It’s an entire educational city and entertainment center built just the right size for children. It’s complete with buildings, streets, vehicles and a functioning economy where young ones can role-play their dream jobs. You might even be tempted to cancel your plans to join the fun, but sorry mum, this place is reserved for kids only.
4. Boomers
The Platform, Maadi
Boomers is an enormous playground that lets your children play by the hour. It has a workshop, trampolines, ‘castles,’ slides, a puppet show, and tables for painting and crafts. Boomers is the ideal place to drop off your children while you have some quality “me time.” It’s run by professional nursery owners who are always on high alert for the kids’ safety, and is also an incredible place to let your children communicate with other kids.
5. Kiddles
Downtown Mall & Arkan Plaza
Kiddles is a professional activity center where you can leave your kids for several hours. They can burn off all of their energy on the extensive playground and have fun with a variety of educational toys, games, and activities. Teachers are always present for both general supervision and assistance with games if needed.
