Ferrari World Yas Island

Ferrari World is built around the thrill of motor racing.

Under the famous red roof you'll find an indoor park dedicated to speed. The headline act is Formula Rossa, which launches from 0 to 240 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Around it are loops, drops and racing rides for adrenaline fans, plus gentler rides and driving experiences for younger racers.

If ticket cost is your main question, read our Ferrari World ticket price guide before booking.

Warner Bros. World™ Yas Island

Six themed lands bring DC Super Heroes and Looney Tunes to life.

One of the largest indoor theme parks in the world, Warner Bros. World is split into six themed lands, including Gotham City, Metropolis and Cartoon Junction. Expect immersive rides, live shows and character meet-and-greets. It is fully air-conditioned, which makes it a great choice for the hottest months and for families with mixed ages.

Yas Waterworld

Yas Waterworld is the island's outdoor water park, themed on an Emirati pearl-diving legend. With 40+ rides, slides and attractions, it ranges from gravity-defying slides to a wave pool, a lazy river and splash zones for little ones. Bring proper swimwear, sunscreen and a hat. Our Yas Waterworld guide covers what to pack and the best time to go.

SeaWorld® Yas Island

SeaWorld Yas Island is an indoor marine-life theme park with eight immersive ocean realms, taking you from the Arabian Gulf to the polar regions. Marine animal encounters, shows and rides make it a calmer day out that works especially well for younger children. It is included in the 2, 3 and 4-day passes, not in the 1-day 2-park ticket.

How many days do you need?

Each park can fill a full day, so match your ticket to the time you have:

  • 1 day: pick your two favourites with the 1 Day, Any 2 Parks ticket. A popular combo is Yas Waterworld in the morning and an indoor park in the afternoon heat.
  • 2 days: the 2-Day Pass adds SeaWorld and lets you split four parks across two days.
  • 3 days: the 3-Day Pass gives a more relaxed pace, around AED 188 per day.
  • 4 days: the 4-Day Pass means one park per day and the lowest price per day, around AED 166.

Tip: visiting with a mix of thrill seekers and little ones? Do Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World on the same day. Both are indoors and a short hop apart, so the group can split up and meet again easily.
