Ferrari World: the thrill park
This is the park for speed lovers. It is home to Formula Rossa, one of the fastest roller coasters in the world: 240 km/h, 0 to 240 km/h in under 5 seconds, with a minimum height of about 1.40 m. There are more than 20 rides and experiences built around the Ferrari brand, under a huge red roof. Allow half a day to a full day depending on the queues.
Warner Bros World: the largest indoor park
Recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's largest indoor theme park, it has six zones (DC with Metropolis and Gotham City, Cartoon Junction, Bedrock, Dynamite Gulch and Warner Bros Plaza) and more than 28 rides. Everything is air-conditioned: it is the right choice when it is hot, with young children, or if you love Batman, Superman, Bugs Bunny or Scooby-Doo. Note the later opening from Monday to Thursday (12pm).

SeaWorld Abu Dhabi: marine life
This 183,000 m² park is home to around 100,000 animals from 150 species, arranged around a central hub, One Ocean. It does not keep marine mammals in captivity. People come mainly for the aquarium, the immersive exhibits and encounters with marine wildlife, rather than for roller coasters. This park is not included in our 2-park ticket.
Yas Waterworld: the water park
More than 40 rides and slides, themed around the lost pearl of the Emirates, with a river, a wave pool and a kids' area. The big rides have minimum heights, for example about 1.30 m for the Dawwama slide and 1.20 m for several others. The park is outdoors: aim for the cool season, from October to April. It is also the cheapest of the four.
Combining two parks
The 2-park ticket at 450 AED lets you choose two parks among Ferrari World, Warner Bros World and Yas Waterworld on the same day, with an inter-park shuttle. Bought separately, Ferrari World and Warner Bros World cost 640 AED: you save 190 AED per person. Realistic mainly for fit visitors who arrive at opening time.
Practical tips
- One park per day if you are traveling with young children. The double-park day is a long one.
- Arrive early: queues are shorter at opening, especially at Ferrari World.
- Check the minimum heights of the rides before promising one to your children.
- Allow 1h15 of travel from Downtown Dubai to reach Yas Island, each way.
- Tickets are non-refundable and must be booked 24 hours in advance: confirm your dates.
- Suitable clothing: swimsuit and towel for Waterworld, a light jacket for the air-conditioning in the indoor parks.
