During the first four weeks of DSS, Times Square Center will be hosting the 'Summer Health Festival' an event that aims to educate visitors about wholesome health and lifestyle in an entertaining ambience.

The first two weeks will focus on the theme 'Healthy Eating', which will involve demonstrations of select recipes and healthy diet plans, on-the-spot cooking contest for parents and children as well as other health activities that will benefit the entire family, especially the children.

The succeeding two weeks will focus on 'Physical Fitness', with activities such as 'gamathon' for children, races, exercise demonstrations and family games, in addition to WII Nintendo kiosks lined up for visitors and participants.

    'Moreover, the success of our DSS activities last year has motivated us to come up with a different but just as exciting concept for this year's event, and we have chosen to steer the focus of the festivities to the important subject of health and lifestyle. As a fast growing family-oriented leisure center in Dubai, we are expecting many parents to appreciate the list of activities we have in store for them and their children to enjoy during DSS,'
