Abu Dhabi Entertainment Company (ADEC), a subsidiary of Solutions+ and part of the Mubadala group, is gearing up to make an official attempt at a Guinness World Record™ for the Largest Ball Pit in the World. This remarkable, eco-friendly installation will be packed with interactive features, including inflatables, making it a fun experience for all ages.
The event will take place as part of Mansour, The Festival, an exciting new celebration filled with adventure, imagination, and non-stop entertainment.

With activities designed for all members of the family, the festival promises a mix of fun, learning, and creativity.
Mansour, The Festival is the first-ever live event for the beloved UAE cartoon character, produced by Bidaya Media with support from Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority. The latest instalment of the award-winning cartoon show follows 12-year-old tech enthusiast Mansour and his new AI friend, Blink, as they navigate a world of innovation, exploring themes of family, friendship, and technology.
