It’ll cost you… A one-hour trampoline session for adults is AED 70 and you can use The Entertainer to get another one free.
2. Go head to head at a bowling alley
Nothing quite says ‘I Love You‘ like an “attractive” pair of bowling shoes. Go head to head at Yalla! Bowling, a funky space that’s conveniently located in two shopping malls. Get ready to win her (or him!) over with that lucky strike!
