An immersive light park at WAFI: twelve worlds of interactive installations — open date.
from114 AED
AYA Universe is an immersive park inside WAFI mall where twelve halls become separate 'universes': a glowing forest, an aurora zone, floating jellyfish, alien landscapes and mirror infinities. It all runs on projection, sound and motion sensors — the installations react to you, so the park feels alive rather than exhibited.
✨ What to expect
The route takes 1–1.5 hours and works for any age: children love touching the glowing surfaces and triggering effects, adults get some of the most unusual shots in Dubai. It's cool and dark inside — a welcome break on a hot day.
Open-date ticket: come any operating day, no slot needed. Located at WAFI (Umm Hurair), near Dubai Healthcare City metro with mall parking.
Aim for weekdays or early hours: weekend evenings queue up at the popular halls, and the installations look better with fewer people in the room.

AYA is about light, projection and reactive 'universes'; House of Hype is about ready-made selfie sets. Different formats — many visit both.
