The agreement was signed by Aziz Dzhabarov, founder and president of Big Fun, and Abdulrahman Al-Juwaied, CEO of VEDA Real Estate.

The Big Fun founder also offered a glimpse of what is in store at the new Big Fun museum. This attraction will house three immersive adventures. The “Fairytale Forest” beckons visitors into a mesmerizing labyrinth of mythical creatures and avian wonders, with a mystical deer as their guide, leading them to the maze’s exit. The enchanted setting also features a lake, a hut and a tree adorned with resplendent blossoms. A snow-covered woodland teeming with polar bears adds to the enchantment.

The “Museum of Emotions” forms the second thrilling experience, allowing visitors to traverse a spectrum of emotions, from happiness to sadness, and from fear to anger. These are the very emotions that often accompany life’s most gripping moments.

The third adventure, “Museum of Illusions,” visitors can enjoy a collection of hand-drawn three-dimensional artworks, crafted by the world’s top artists. Moreover, they can marvel at the magic of Riyadh under the starry night sky, seemingly from the palm of King Kong’s colossal hand. A snow-blanketed forest inhabited by a mystical owl awaits exploration, and a plunge into the depths of an awe-inspiring sea sets the stage for experiencing captivating three-dimensional illusions, perfect for capturing jaw-dropping photographs.

The grand opening of the Big Fun museum is slated for November 2, 2023, beckoning families and friends to embark on an exhilarating adventure of a lifetime.
