Since the pandemic there has been a heightened need for social interactions and our new centre will be a hub of exciting activities for children and parents. That is also why we chose to launch an Orange Hub centre at Bada Zayed that offers a sizeable catchment area mostly dominated by local Emirati population and families.”

Speaking on the occasion, Shifa Yusuffali, CEO of IdeaCrate Edutainment Company added, “We are very excited about the new Orange Hub location in Abu Dhabi, as this marked our first opening since the pandemic. Our goal is to normalise social interactions for families in a safe, fun and friendly environment. We have designed Orange Hub in a manner that is easily navigable and optimally open to ensure social distancing. While there are several options to keep the children entertained, there is ample seating arrangement for parents to relax. The new opening also underpins our efforts to slowly regenerate the leisure and entertainment landscape.”

Aligned with the government regulations, the new Orange Hub facility is following strict safety and hygiene protocols. Social distancing is being carefully followed. A 1.5 to 2 metres distance is maintained between the rides. Face masks are mandatory at the facility, except for children under three years.
