Why Dubai Is Perfect for Water Park Lovers
Dubai has a hot and sunny climate throughout most of the year, and water parks are one of the best places in the city to enjoy this weather. Dubai does not have a single large park; it has several water parks that are of world standard, and each park has its own identity.
You’ll find:
- Mega-parks containing more than 100 slides/attractions.
- Younger-specific family parks with a specific theme.
- Parks that have beachfront, where you can jump over waves and slides.
- Hotels and children's parks that are situated in compact areas are ideal to be visited for half a day.
The majority of parks have a convenient location and can be accessed by taxi, metro, or personal transfer, and tend to be quite near other significant recreational centers like Palm Jumeirah, JBR, or Dubai Parks and Resorts. At RAH Tours, reserving a water park entry, including transfers, allows a perfect day at the hotel, starting with hotel pickup and ending with hotel drop-off.
The Best Water Parks in Dubai
Dubai has plenty of water parks, and you’ll also find wonderful parks within a 60–90-minute drive, often included in Dubai travel packages. These are ideal if you have a day and want to add variety to your itinerary.
Aquaventure Waterpark – The Giant of Palm Jumeirah
If you wish to go huge, then there is Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis, The Palm. It is officially one of the largest water parks in the world, with more than 100 slides and attractions, a long lazy river, and a privately located beach on the Palm Jumeirah.
Aquaventure best attracts the teens and thrill-seekers, as well as families. The presence of such iconic rides as near-vertical drops, multi-lane racers, and shark tunnel slides ensures that the level of adrenaline is high. Meanwhile, they have single-purpose children's playgrounds, smaller pools, and less vigorous slides to serve the younger visitors.
You can also add your day with The Lost Chambers Aquarium or a day at the sea with dolphins and sea lions (combo tickets). It is a one-day trip, and thus, a lot of tourists prefer to book the tickets to facilitate the logistics and spend most of the time on the slides.
Wild Wadi Waterpark – Classic Views and Arabian Fun
Wild Wadi Water Park is located in Dubai, adjacent to the Burj Al Arab, on the Jumeirah Beach Road, which is considered among Dubai's classics. It is a park with an Arabian folklore theme, which makes it fun and storybook-like, but the rides are not as childish as adults might also like.
Wild Wadi is a combination of body rides, a large wave pool, a lazy river, and high-speed slides. There will also be master blaster slides, which will propel you up the hill with jets of water, which will make you have a roller-coaster experience on water. The medium size of the park is a huge plus: it is not that hard to navigate, and family members do not feel overwhelmed.
With RAH Tours, visitors of Downtown or the Marina can have round-trip transportation included along with the entry tickets, so that you can up and simply show up and be ready to splash.
LEGOLAND Water Park – Built for Kids Aged 2–12
Taking younger children out, and would like something just right? LEGOLAND Water Park, which is among the Dubai Parks and Resorts located in Jebel Ali, is specially created to attract children between the ages of 2 and 12.
In place of drastic falls, there are 20+ attractions and slides with a LEGO theme, and each is kid-friendly. Primary attractions are the mild body slides, splash pads, and the popular Build-A-Raft River, where children can create their own raft with massive soft LEGO bricks and then ride through a leisurely river.
This indoor water park in Dubai is also a good place to have small children who may be scared of giant slides in other larger parks. It can be easily combined with LEGOLAND Dubai or Motiongate in the course of one or two days. RAH Tours is also able to assist you in planning to arrange the transfers and booking the tickets for water parks in Dubai for kids, because the complex is approximately 30-40 minutes distant.
AquaFun Dubai – Floating Obstacle Course at JBR Beach
AquaFun Dubai, located at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), is another type of water park experience to explore. It is the largest inflatable water park in the world, a huge floating obstacle course located right outside in the water of The Beach in JBR.
There will be no slides and pools; you will climb, jump, slide, crawl, and balance your way on interconnected inflatables. It is quite physical and very fun, making it ideal when it comes to groups of friends, active families, and older kids. It is possible to accommodate more than 100 people at the park, and life jackets are given and needed.
Since AquaFun is located directly adjacent to the large beach, you can include your session with any of the following: beach time, jet skis, parasailing, or a Dubai Marina cruise. AquaFun can be enjoyed as a complete JBR & Marina day with RAH Tours.
Jungle Bay Waterpark – Boutique Fun at Mina Seyahi
Jungle Bay Waterpark, which is smaller and boutique in nature, is situated at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina. Its ambiance is relaxed and family-friendly. It is an excellent alternative to the giant parks, but more stimulating than a fundamental hotel swimming pool.
The main features are a 6m pneumatic wave pool, various medium-sized slides, and a special aqua play area with mini slides and cannons where the younger children can play. It also gives you that beachfront resort feel, where you have access to sun loungers and easy access to food and drinks.
Jungle Bay is also an effective half-day or relaxed full-day adventure, particularly among people who are staying at Dubai Marina or Al Sufouh.
Splash ‘n’ Party – Best Water Park in Dubai for Toddlers
When you have really young children, then big slides can be too much. In the area of Jumeirah, the Splash ' n' Party kids water park in the Al Safa neighborhood is dedicated to toddlers and younger children, with a safe, colorful environment.
The park has mini slides, small tipping buckets, small water sprayers, and soft play structures. Parents are provided with shaded seats on which they can rest, yet have a close view of the kids. Splash n part can be used as a birthday party venue on your trip to Dubai.
Grand Hyatt Dubai Waterpark – Urban Slides and Surfing
The newer entrant on the market, the Grand Hyatt Dubai Waterpark by the Sheikh Rashid Road, makes water park entertainment a little bit closer to the city center. This small park is adjacent to the Grand Hyatt hotel and is accessible to hotel customers and visitors during the day, which is a good option in case of a stay or a simple half-day trip.
The park has a spread of slides aimed at the older children and adults, and a FlowRider surf simulator, where you can experience bodyboarding or stand-up surfing on a simulated wave. Bonus pools, loungers, and food will make it seem like a restored hotel pool day with even greater excitement.
Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi – Big Rides on Yas Island
Yas Waterworld is one of the largest and most amazing water parks in the region, found on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, which is approximately 1.5 hours away from Dubai. It has an Emirati pearl-diving theme and 40-plus rides, slides, and attractions, including extreme drops, family rafts, and kid zones.
Yas Waterworld is ideal when you desire the complete theme park atmosphere of a water park, and do not mind the extra trip. Some of the popular features are looping slides, funnels, wave pools, and kid-friendly attractions. It is often combined by many travelers with either Ferrari World or Catching it together with Warner Bros. World, since all of them are located on Yas Island.
Dreamland Aqua Park – Old School on a Low Budget
Dreamland Aqua Park in Umm Al Quwain, approximately an hour drive out of Dubai, is one of the older and cheaper water parks in the UAE. It has a reputation for having a big, spaced-out design, a combination of traditional slides, family pools, and shaded relaxation spaces.
Although it does not feature the ultra-modern theming of the more recent parks in Dubai, Dreamland does provide good value for money, especially among bigger families or groups with a limited budget. Additions such as a mini petting zoo, greenery, and even camping facilities make it have a different touch as compared to the water parks in the city.
Dreamland has been a good choice as a laid-back day trip when you have been to the big-name parks, or you do not wish to spend much on tourism. RAH Tours has the option of booking entry tickets and transport to make it a temporary getaway.
