Spanning more than 2,300 square meters and scheduled to open in 2027, the attraction is set to combine play, adventure, shopping, and dining in one year-round destination. With several concepts being introduced to Bahrain for the first time, Marina Walk is positioning itself as one of the Kingdom\u2019s most anticipated family destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed for children aged two to 12 and their families, the new destination will feature a fully themed indoor playground with soft-play areas, climbing zones, ball pits, slides, and interactive structures, alongside experiences featuring popular entertainment characters. It will also introduce the region\u2019s first-of-its-kind indoor adventure and interactive entertainment destination, combining physical activities with digital and interactive gaming for different age groups. A specialty toy store, children\u2019s retail, and innovative shopping and dining concepts will further expand the experience. According to BMDC CEO Gagan Suri, the development reflects the company\u2019s vision of creating an upscale waterfront address where visitors can move seamlessly between dining, retail, and immersive entertainment. Located within Marina Walk, the attraction will connect indoor activities with restaurants, caf\u00e9s, waterfront facilities, and open spaces, creating an experience designed for residents and international visitors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new family entertainment center is part of BMDC\u2019s wider strategy to establish Bahrain Marina as an integrated destination for residential living, entertainment, shopping, hospitality, and marine activities. Backed by a Bahraini Dinar 200 million development budget, Bahrain Marina will also feature luxury retail, fine dining, internationally recognized caf\u00e9s, a shopping mall, yacht parking, a 3,200-square-meter marine club, premium residences, hotel accommodations, green spaces, and sports facilities. With the entertainment center expected to become a centrepiece of Marina Walk, one question remains: what will Bahrain\u2019s newest family destination look like when the doors finally open in 2027?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bahrain Marina Development Company (BMDC), master developer of Bahrain Marina on Manama\u2019s eastern waterfront, has&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":312,"featured_media":14182,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_angie_page":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","page_builder":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[102,99],"tags":[1012,592,1015,1021,1017,767,1013,1019],"class_list":["post-14181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","category-entertainment","tag-bahrain-marina","tag-bahrain-tourism","tag-bmdc","tag-family-destinations","tag-indoor-entertainment","tag-manama","tag-marina-walk","tag-shopping-in-bahrain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/312"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14181"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14184,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14181\/revisions\/14184"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powerup.city\/bh\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
