Here are seven dated events, including two plans for the following week, with prices, age conditions and booking links.<\/p>\n<h2>A day with the children<\/h2>\n<p>Halloween Festival at Terra is a flexible starting point. For two adults and two children aged four or over, festival admission totals AED 200; the option including Magic Phil totals AED 300. These are ticket costs only, excluding transport, food and other purchases. Admission to Terra\u2019s permanent exhibition is not included in this calculation.<\/p>\n<p>For a theatre outing, consider Titiz\u00e9, an acrobatic production open to ages four and above. Whether a child will enjoy sitting through it depends on the child; the emphasis is on movement, music and visual storytelling.<\/p>\n<h2>A date or an afternoon with friends<\/h2>\n<p>Two tickets for Benjamin Clementine on Sunday start at AED 1,000. Saturday\u2019s alternative is the Halloween Brunch at Crescendo: AED 898 for two adults with the soft beverage package. These are separate options rather than one itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>For two adults and children aged five and nine, the brunch comes to AED 1,098: 449 \u00d7 2 + 50 + 150. Transport and extra orders are excluded.<\/p>\n<h2>An outing without an admission charge<\/h2>\n<p>Dubai Ride is an option for those with a suitable bicycle who are happy to start early. Free participation does not mean bicycle rental is included. Next week, Dubai Design Week offers free festival access, while individual workshops and the separate Downtown Design fair have their own terms.<\/p>\n<h2>The events<\/h2>\n<h3>Titiz\u00e9 \u2013 A Venetian Dream<\/h3>\n<p>Compagnia Finzi Pasca brings an acrobatic theatre production inspired by Venice to Dubai Opera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> 30\u201331 October 2026 for this weekend selection.
