Outdoor Activities
The outdoor activities include a Sensory Zone, Mumbo Tumbo Drum Beats, Badge Caricaturists, Face Painting and Pop the Balloon Man.

Mumbo Tumbo Drum Beats is a high-energy, action-packed activity for kids that combines drumming, singing and dancing.
Badge Caricaturists are pioneers in producing mini caricatures on badges, fridge magnets and pocket mirrors, while the face painting will be done by Rita Cherry, a professional face and body painter who has turned the activity into an art.
Pop the Balloon Man is now a veteran of the Bahrain Grand Prix, having performed here for the last four years.
His work is just as incredible to adults as it is to children, as his skills with a couple of balloons and a balloon pump never fail to amaze.
All these and so much more are available for children to enjoy all through the Grand Prix weekend.
