Great for all ages! - A great experience for adults and children alike. Not cheap but with our Emirates flight boarding passes we got a good saving off the ticket costs which was fab. It took about 2 hours to visit every room experience but you could stay as long as you like in each area so you could really eek this out time wise if you so desired. It’s great for teens too as this is Instagram gold.

Pleasant experience at AYA universe - If you are an artistic person, you will love this place. The place is full of vibrant animations. It has 11 areas with unique themes. By visiting, you would at least get 20 awesome profile pictures. We were a gang of 7. Initially, It was a bit boring. However, the final 2 areas changed our minds. The penultimate area is filled with plastic balls where you can do a lot of fun with friends. The last area is for relaxation with some lying space, soothing music and mild colours. We slept there pleasantly and it was refreshing. You can visit this place for a different experience. If you are an adventurous person, you can exclude this from your itinerary.

Nice experience but be prepared for crowds - Located in the Waif Mall (near the Obelisk, the area is decorated with an Egyptian theme), the universe is a series of a twelve light experiences to enjoy. The Source, Outland and Drift are probably the weakest executed while Lunar, Celestia (a large 3 meter deep ball pit) and Tides are particularly well done. Can be quite crowded and there are a few chokepoints like the Waterfall and Celestia where you might be inline for awhile. Worth a visit.

Honest review - A beautiful and enjoyable place with a unique concept. It will appeal more to adults than children. However, it has a dark atmosphere and needs more lighting.

Price too high - The lights and effects are already interesting. However, the entrance fee totally excessive for this attraction. Our son still enjoyed it
