Water Parks in Dubai

The UAE is home to world-class water parks and aquatic playgrounds. In Dubai, the major parks are Aquaventure (the city's largest, located at Atlantis The Palm), Wild Wadi (known for its thrilling freefall slides and Burj Al Arab views), and LEGOLAND® Water Park (designed specifically for children aged 2-12). In Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld offers over 40 water rides, including the exciting Dawwama, based on an original Emirati tale.

While ticket prices vary seasonally, booking your water park tickets online with Gentoo is always the best way to find great deals and secure the lowest prices. Online tickets not only save you money compared to gate prices, but also let you skip the ticket counter queues and head straight to the fun.

If you are traveling with toddlers and young children, LEGOLAND® Water Park is the ideal choice, as all its water slides and attractions are tailored for ages 2-12. Aquaventure also has a massive, dedicated Splashers Island zone with over 20 interactive attractions perfect for younger kids, ensuring they have a safe and fun experience in designated kids' areas.

Yes, since water parks in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are extremely popular and often crowded, buying e-tickets online usually grants you skip-the-line access or direct entry. This is the best way to save time and ensure you get right to the exciting water rides like the Leap of Faith or Jumeirah Sceirah without waiting in long queues at the entrance.

For sheer adrenaline and thrills, the competition is between Aquaventure and Wild Wadi. Aquaventure boasts the world-record breaking Aquaconda waterslide and thrilling slides through shark lagoons. Wild Wadi is famous for the Jumeirah Sceirah, one of the fastest freefall slides outside the United States. They both offer the most extreme water rides.

It depends on the park! Most standard water park tickets do not include meals. However, purchasing combo packages that include a meal voucher often offers a good discount compared to buying food a la carte inside the park. Always check the ticket details, as menu restrictions apply at most food outlets and restaurants.

While the water parks are open all year, the best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons (September to November and January to April). The weather is pleasant, and the crowds are typically smaller than during the busy holiday season (December). If you must visit during the very hot summer months, go on a weekday to avoid the biggest crowds and long wait times.
