Yas Water World is located on Yas Island and is spread over 15 hectares, making it the largest waterpark in Abu Dhabi!
 


The waterpark features a thrilling range of 45 rides, slides and attractions and it's theme is said to be based on a legend which closely represents local Emirati culture. Visitors can follow the adventures of the waterpark’s main character Dana, who is in search of a famed pearl which is said to bring prosperity to her village. This is also why the park has a unique diving attraction where guests have the chance to plunge into an underwater tank in a quest to collect three oysters, which contain precious pearls. You can also create your own pearl jewelry here!

A few unique features:
•Yas Water World Abu Dhabi is said to have more slides, rides and attractions than any other park in the Middle East.
•The water park is the first “green” certified waterpark in the Middle East.

Yas Water World’s many rides are split into 4 thrill levels; Adrenaline rush, Exciting Adventure, Moving and Grooving and Young fun.

If you’re an adrenaline junkie, you’ll feel right at home with the rides at Adrenaline rush. Start at the Rush rider which is an endless sheet wave and lets you enjoy SoCal style fun in the sun. The Bubble’s Barrel is also a must to experience as it has the world’s largest surfable sheet-wave with a 3 metre high wave!

Adrenaline action not really your thing? Head to the Exciting Adventure section to take on some thrilling action in the Falcon’s Falaj, a six person water coaster with a lot of twists, turns and drops. You just can't leave without trying Bandit Bomber which is the longest suspended roller coaster in the Middle East!

The water park’s Moving and Grooving and Young Fun sections are for the calm and cool who’re there to spend a great day at the park with their families and have easy access to food and changing rooms.

Yas Water World also has great shopping options for you to take a little bit of nostalgia back to the park with you. From themed products and souvenirs to photos of you on the ride along with Arabic spices and calligraphy art. Pick and choose whatever catches your fancy!

Finally, as the sun sets, leave the park with great memories of a wet and extremely exciting day and head back to rest at Centro Capital Centre.
