If you’re looking for a fun way to release all the stress from school and/or trying to get rid of any negative energy you have, or just looking for something new to do with your friends, then The Smash Room Dubai is the place for you. Smash Room Dubai is a fun place to let out all that stress by taking a sledgehammer or a bat to smashable objects and would be a fun group activity to do with your friends. When walking in, you are greeted by a well-air-conditioned space, a super important factor, especially during summers in the UAE. A super-friendly staff then walks you through the activity and safety precautions. After putting on the safety gear, you get to choose your weapon of choice, as well as some songs you want playing during the process, you’re then moved into a room with the equipment, and when the door is closed, you get to go crazy. The feeling of being able to throw glass cups at the wall and smashing a bat into a TV makes your adrenaline reach new highs, especially since it’s not something that you would do regularly. Just to keep in mind, this indoor activity requires a prior booking, which can be done through the Smash Room Dubai website. The prices range from 69-349 AED, and there are usually deals during holidays, if you are going in as a group of 6 or more, there will be a discount depending on how big the group is. For clothing, we would recommend wearing sportswear that you can easily move in, and if you are someone who dresses modestly, we would recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt, as the hazmat suit you are given can be a bit sheer. This indoor activity in Dubai is something you want to experience, even if it is only once in your lifetime.
