😠 I took my kids there today. Unfortunately, had very bad experience the moment I stepped my foot into the facility. The receptionist did not welcome us. She abrasively asked for our EHTERAZ even before I could reach the reception desk. She kept staring at it as if it was fake one, I never experienced...

    I took my kids there today. Unfortunately, had very bad experience the moment I stepped my foot into the facility. The receptionist did not welcome us. She abrasively asked for our EHTERAZ even before I could reach the reception desk. She kept staring at it as if it was fake one, I never experienced this anywhere else in Doha not even with security guards. I’m glad my kids asked to go the shop Next door and enjoyed their time there. I doubt that we are going back again to curiosity. Reply to Management: I am recovered. She did not ask about the doses. Unfortunately, she’s not being honest.

    A place that should be suitable for infants and toddlers but found out the following: - Some toys are broken and have sharp edges which is dangerous (see attached car photo) - A lot of beams and corners are not covered by any padded materials - Staff are not energetic nor play with kids, there is a small show in the last 10inutes which is nice and they give out baloons and thats about it. Overall its a good place but waaaaay too expensive comparing to other places in Doha. Keep an eye on your children which they are there.

    Very entertaining for younger kids and they clean the place thoroughly between sessions. It is overpriced though especially if you bring in multiple children

    Place is good for kids But the staff (especially the woman), she is very rude!! She replied to us in a very bad way. She told us we need to make reservation to enter. It s not my first time here, we didnt have to make reservation last time. And it s no one in the playroom. She is not welcoming us to the playroom. Unbelievable behavior!!!

    A misleading online ad about a "Slime factory" brought us here. We booked online one week ago, for 2 children, one hour of Slime Factory, for 125 QAR. When we arrived it was clarified that it is 125 PER KID (they said that the online booking doesn't work well) and by "Slime Factory" they mean 50 minutes of playground for little kids (mine are 10 and 12) and 10 minutes of making slime on a table. EDIT: after your response I have to clarify: the misleading part was the "one-hour Slime Factory" ad, while in reality you are providing a soft playground with a slime gift. The instagram ad prompts us to go to your website to book, where we booked two kids for 125 QAR. That is a problem in your website that you need to fix. An easy fix would be for the website to provide a confirmation email that would have cleared any confusion. The reception never explained an option about 90 QAR for one hour activity. I hope this info will help you. It is really a pity that you still don't understand our frustration.

    I was expecting curiocity playground in Pearl, to become the right place for my kids and their friends in spending their free time with a creative way. But nice places need also nice people-stuff to work in, care about children and love what they do. Today I was totally disappointed with the attitude of the employee in the reception of the curiocity playground. My kids 4 and 2 years old couldn’t use any of the facilities because a number of 5-6 boys around 10 years old were running after each other like crazy, pushing, climbing and jumping in a way that no one else could use any of the facilities specially if you were in the age of my kids. When I requested from the receptionist to ask the kids to calm down or to be careful because of younger kids playing around, she told me in a very impolite way “this is the meaning of the playgrounds”!!! I paid 130 qar for my both kids for two hours and the answer I got was place until I will be back. My daughter after a while started worrying about and started looking for me. She went to the exit asking where her mother is. That moment I just came back from the toilet and again the same lady told me” next time keep your eyes on both of your kids”! Excuse me??? I took both of my kids and I left and the only thing I promised is I will never gonna take my kids back to this horrible place. Not only me but all of my friends that have kids all over the Pearl! The HR management next time should be more careful in choosing the right people for this place. Definitely for this person they have totally failed!

    My 18 month loved her hour here, many stations were too advanced for her but in each room there was at least one activity she could enjoy. We'll definitely go again!

    It’s very nice place, in the tower 18, cross from kiddie zone. It’s has small cafe. However, it’s very expensive, 140 QR per child per hour without the food. They don’t charge for the nannies. The place is clean, but not affordable for the avarage families. Additionally the play area itself is pretty big and has some nice playgrounds, but some of them, like the water play place where poorly designed and don’t work because whoever made them left flaws. The kids enjoyed it but got bored after an hour, so I suggest not staying longer than that.

    The place is nice, but extremely overpriced. It charges an hourly rate of 125 QAR per child. The hourly rate should at least decrease after the first hour.

    Bedsides from being a bit pricey, this place is great for little kids and it has the added benefit of having an area for parents, it’s a little hidden behind what seems to be a toy store. It’s clean and it has all the proper safety measurements for kids. I recommend going in the morning as it is pretty much empty.

    Last Christmas we visited a place in Berlin called Labyrinth Kindermuseum. My 4 year old had so much fun. When we came back to Doha we hoped there would be something like this experience here. Lo and behold, here comes CurioCITY! The pictures of this place don't do it any justice. Nor do they represent the size of this place. As we enter we were greeted by friendly staff. We paid for 1 hour, took our shoes off and got straight into the fun! I don't know where to start. This whole place is educational. There are water activities and electricity activities and whirlpools and gravity toys. There are mock kitchens, dress up areas, construction areas, a strawberry ball pit and so much more. The whole place is laid out like a beautifully, polished wooden playground , where you and your kids could run and slide and jump and bounce and swing. Each educational activity also has a little description of what it is, so you learn as you go. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Even when I got lost trying to find the place, they helped me over the phone. The place is immaculately clean. The staff mingled amongst the kids, enticing them to play all sorts of games including huge puzzles and even a fencing game! One of the best things about CurioCITY is they cater to Special Needs kids, which was perfect for my son. There was nothing that was too overwhelming, loud or bright. All the sounds were made by the happy kids! They also have a different rate for special needs kids. We drove about 20 minutes to the Pearl and got lost for about 30 minutes trying to find this place. It was well worth it. I would highly recommend this place if you have kids. Hyperactive kids, special needs kids, kids who love sensory and tactile activities. All Kids. CurioCITY is the place to be!

    Wonderful place for kids. Many different activities due them to engage in: there is a water area where they can push levers or rotate wheels to different effects, there is climbing and balancing on knitted nets (3 levels of it ending in some huge balloons at the top), small trampoline, digital wall painting game, instruments to play, cars to drive, sand pit (being extra clothes it can get very messy), 2 high slides, a soft play area, a “ball pit” but with strawberries instead of balls 😍, numerous pretend play stations, dress up area, etc. etc. Honestly your kids will never ever want to leave. The only downside I see is that it is ridiculously expensive: 1 h is 125 qrs and an additional 30 min is 60 qrs…. Even worse babies as young as 6 months old need to pay and that’s just UNFAIR! Most of the activities cannot be enjoyed by kids who cannot walk yet and even then for new walkers only about half the activities are appropriate! Really to charge babies entrance for nothing that’s just GREEDY! That’s my reason for giving it 4 stars. Also grippy socks make the play areas more safe, so I highly recommend them for the kids and the moms that want to join in the fun.

  • 4/5 Anu G. 8 months ago on Google
    It’s a fun place for toddlers and kids alike. There are so many areas of interest for every child and it was not very crowded. It would have been helpful if there were more staff actively present to explain about explore each section. Although there were mini write ups all along, it was a bit hard to follow. And some of the staff/ cleaners disappeared the moment we stepped into any room to avoid any conversations. Despite this minor inconvenience, my three year old had tons of fun and wanted to come back again.

  • 1/5 Kevin D. 11 months ago on Google
    Tried to book a birthday party here, as we have done in the past. This time I was sent to pay only to find out there was no availability. Looked to find another time slot and was hung up on after being told I was wrong. Not worth the trouble and you can see by the responses to reviews that a similar poor attitude prevails.

  • 4/5 Wander L. 2 years ago on Google
    My son has so much fun here! I appreciate the various opportunities for all kinds of play, whatever interests your child. Very clean, well taken care of. My only deduction is for the high price for one hour of play.

    Very very nice place for the kids to spend an afternoon or morning. Interior design is relaxing, spacious, all made of wood. And the toys are really creative for the kids and trigger their curiosity. Price is also very reasonable when we went.. I hope it stays that way. Perfect place to take the kids in Doha's hot summer.

    Good place for kids to play. Pricey at 120 QAR per hour but in the current situation the only indoor place to take kids.

    After school brought my son and his friends to CurioCity. Amazing experience - they got chance to do sport challenges, dance challenge and crafts. Can’t get them out 🤦‍♀️😂. Good deal for unlimited pass. Myself enjoyed high tea (surprised to find this luxury tea brand in here, usually Mirrage Feres served only at 5* hotel lounges).

    (Translated by Google) The prices are by the hour and the best is to book an appointment to play. We are interested in the cleanliness of the place and the games and are sterilized every hour.

    (Translated by Google) Conscientious and quality service, pleasant staff, each of them is aware of the services they can provide. While the children are having fun, there is a place for parents to relax and have a cup of coffee. Also, if there are not enough places in the play arena, it does not matter, the cafe is full of entertainment, where children can make their own pizza, cookies, and after 10 minutes try their own work. Well, how not to pass by making a slime ... Children are delighted! I recommend and recommend to everyone. The center itself is very beautiful, almost everything in it is made of wood, which very well conveys the atmosphere with which you can abstract from the dry period in this country! CurioCITY, keep it up! Well done! I forgot to mention that most of the staff speaks both English and Russian. (Original) Добросовестный и качественный сервис , приятные сотрудники, каждый из них осведомлен об услугах , которые они могут предоставить. Пока дети развлекаются, для родителей есть место , где отдохнуть, выпить чашку кофе. Также, если не хватило мест на игровой арене - не беда , полным полно развлечений в кафе , где дети могут сделать свою собственную пиццу , печенье , а спустя 10 минут попробовать свое произведение. Ну и как не пройти мимо того, чтобы сделать слайм... Дети в восторге! Всем советую и рекомендую. Сам центр очень красивый , практически все в нем сделано и дерева, что очень хорошо передает атмосферу , с помощью которой можно абстрагироваться от засушливого периода в этой стране ! CurioCITY , так держать! Молодцы! Забыл упомянуть , что большая часть персонала разговаривает как и на английском, так и на русском языке.

    Very expensive but worth a visit. Most of the activities are interesting but don't provide more than one visit. Vaguely educational but soft play places are busier for good reason. More fun and way cheaper. Cafe is excellent, however, with the make your own pizza.
