Yas Waterworld: Insider Secrets to UAE’s Mega Waterpark – Rides, Reviews & Offers

Open since 2013, Yas Waterworld quickly earned its spot in the world’s top 10 water parks. Spread across 37 acres, it stands as one of the Middle East’s largest water parks and one of Dubai’s favourite attractions. It’s also home to the world’s first hydro-magnetic tornado waterslide, and the Middle East’s longest suspended rollercoaster!

Over the last four years, Yas Waterworld has been awarded over 17 industry awards and accolades, including 2015 & 2016 Travelers’ Choice Award by TripAdvisor, Second Best Waterpark in the World by LA Times in 2013, and was named Best, Biggest Water Park in the World by Online News Port in 2014. Surf at the world’s largest surfable sheet wave, take the plunge down an epic Slither Slide and pass through wave tunnels on your way down, jump in a six-person water coaster that takes you on a wild ride over twists, turns, rapids, and drops, and, when you’ve tired yourself out from all the adrenaline, sit back, relax and float along the lazy river. From A-list celebrities to UAE locals, Yas Waterworld attracts and entices with its promise to give you the best water park experience you’ll ever get.

Getting Yas Waterworld Tickets

There are several ticketing booths at Yas Waterworld. At the park entrance, you will find a booth dedicated to pre arranged bookings, such as online tickets, group tickets, and tour operators. Other booths are for Bronze, Gold, and Silver tickets.

There are also online options to get discounted park tickets. Headout, a trusted online marketplace for buying tickets at exclusive prices, regularly offers Bronze, Silver, and Gold Yas Waterworld tickets at 10% -15% off their regular price.

You can also purchase discounted tickets to Dubai’s other top attractions and theme parks via Headout.

Bronze, Silver or Gold – Deciding Which Ticket to Purchase

Each ticket type – bronze, silver, and gold – gives you unlimited access to all 45 rides, slides and attractions. In addition, each ticket includes a merchandise voucher; AED 5 with bronze, AED 10 with silver, and AED 15 with gold. The main perk of going for a silver or gold ticket is that they both include fast-passes for rides. A silver ticket gets you 3 fast-passes, while gold will get unlimited fast-pass entry, plus a free souvenir towel.

So when should you splurge for the fast-pass tickets? During the week, you can generally get about just fine with a bronze ticket, as the park is not that crowded so lines won’t be long at all. On the weekends, however, the park can get extremely busy. To make the most of your time at Yas Waterworld, spending a little extra money on a silver or gold ticket will pay off in the time you save not having to wait in long line, after long line. If you go for the silver ticket, it’s best to save your fast-passes for the most popular rides, such as Dawwama, Bandit Bomber, Liwa Loop and Bubble’s Barrel.
