summer festival 2015 - my experience




 After  Summer Festival 2014  when  there was a great Fun City set up in  Doha Exhibition Center I visited the facility with great expectations .Last year theme was winter - slides and snow villages , ski lessons and many more original and memorable  games . Like the school of acrobats where kids learnt about  the art of jumping from real acrobats - they were allowed to swing on the trapeze  and juggle with balls .. Well , this year there was the old ,tired ,boring games  . Nothing original . NO theme .Just very loud music , flashing lights and minimum 15 year old rides .It was rather sad , not fun at all . My kids played a bit on the inflatable slides - then  a session on the trampoline ... they were watching these " skill games "  where one has to throw a ring or a ball into a bucket or bottle neck... sadly ,they looked like a daytime robbery rather than fun games  - we were watching them for about 20 minutes and nobody managed to do them ... All in all - the fun city was a step back  compared to last year . Is it only me who thinks that our kids deserve more ?
