Ferrari World is probably the best thing about Abu Dhabi. Catch a bus from the city, get there earlier as sometimes they might close earlier than scheduled. Take your pics and start adrenaline journey. The rides are amazing. The Mission Ferrari is a cool surprise, as it has unexpected turns and jumps. The Rosa was closed, but it didn't spoil the experience. Even if you are scared of speed and heights, my advice is: Just Do It! Here is my suggestion on how to ease into it (without Rosa): Rosa Junior, Turbo TrackFlying AcesMission FerrariGT challange. You will enjoy it. Do one park at a time on Yas Island because Qs are long. Don't fear, just enjoy the rides!!!!!
Ferrari World is a lot of fun.
Enjoyment: Surprisingly, there are quite a few attractions for children under 110cm tall.
The park also has a small playground where children can climb freely, which keeps them entertained for hours.
Temperature: Although the park is located on the second floor of Yas Mall, the space is naturally light-filled, so it's quite warm inside. Even wearing summer clothes won't be a problem; you won't feel cold.
It's much warmer than Warner Bros. and SeaWorld, haha.
Convenience: There's a direct shuttle bus from Yas Island to Ferrari World.
Dubai also has a direct shuttle bus to Ferrari World, both of which are super convenient.
Note: You can bring food and water into the park. This is very user-friendly.
However, I'm not sure what their criteria are; each park on Yas Island has different rules. If you find something that's not allowed, you can either throw it away or check it in.
I tried bread, snacks, and plastic bottles of water, and they were all allowed.

It's quite small and I walked around it in ten minutes. I happened to see the fish feeding and it was quite lively. The discounted ticket I bought on Ctrip was not expensive and it was OK. If you want to see a big one, go to Dubai Mall or the one in Abu Dhabi. This one is suitable for those staying in or near Palm Island.
## Jumeirah Palm Island: Is the golden dream on the steel palm leaves worth going? ** If you want to witness the ambition of human beings to transform nature, this place is a spectacle; but if you pursue the relaxation of a beach holiday, the price is not as good as a public beach**. **The core shock is on the macro scale and engineering miracles. **Take the light rail into the "palm leaf stalk", the two sides of the billionaire mansion such as white keys arranged, the Atlantis hotel at the end such as the mythical castle on the final stage **This moment understands what the visual hegemony of "artificial islands"**. The most amazing at dusk: the sunset dyes the arced breakwater into a golden ring, as if the Persian Gulf wears a crown. **Two high-light experiences: **-**Atlantis Hotel**: Free crossing the giant aquarium corridor, 6.5 10,000 fish swim on the arched glass top; Pay to experience the Water World Adventure Park's Faith Leap Slide - **Palm Leaf Point Beach Club**: Exclusive view of the Persian Gulf, the Sailing Hotel mirrors the Burj Khalifa **Invisible cost warning:** Limited public areas, **High-quality beaches are mostly private hotels** (one-day admission fees often exceed ￥500); light rail fares are high and only lead to the main road; food and beverage prices double. **Summary: ** The essence of this island is a landscape symbol** of ** huge capital. It is worth checking in quickly to cross the light rail and overlook Atlantis. Feel the wild imagination of humans to use desert as canvas. But if time is tight, the viewing platform overlooks the panoramic view enough to land and explore, and it is easy to fall into the fascination of consumerism.

We had the VIP package and I’m glad we did because we were waited on fantastically by our host and the amount of people there was amazing, the queue for the food on the normal package was huge but the VIP package entailed that our food was served to us..The food was endless with fish, meat and all served with a fantastic evening of entertainment..We will do this experience again.
## Dubai Desert Camp: Bedouin Fable under the Stars ** Worth going? ** If you want to get a trace of the original Arab soul in commercialization, this is the most cost-effective cultural slice** but be sure to lower your expectations of "wildness". **The core value is the triple time-space crossing: ** -** dusk sand rush**: take a 4×4 off-road vehicle to rush down the 45-degree dunes, the weightlessness moment the yellow sand is like a golden waterfall (choose traditional camels to watch the sunset more quietly melt gold) -**Camp ritual sense**: barefoot into the Bedouin account group, Smell the saffron roast leg of lamb in the campfire, ** Haina tattooist fingertips flowing thousands of years of pattern** - ** Starry sky hegemony**: After staying away from light pollution, the Milky Way is like a broken drill, lying in an Arab cushion and listening to Udqin sing "One Thousand and One Nights" Select section **Highlight experience hidden in details: ** - **Eagle Trainer Dawn Show**: Masked black robe arms hunting , wild tremor of gold and your eyes **Sand painting bottle workshop**: Seal colorful quicksand into glass bottles, solidify desert chromatography **Secret moment**: In the early morning, climb the dunes alone, watch the crescent and the Dubai skyline resonate in the violet morning light **Reality barrier: ** - **The performance is strong** (belly dancers may be Eastern European faces) - The basic package includes instant Arabic coffee, hand-made beans are charged separately - The temperature difference between day and night is huge (Noon 40℃/Late Night 15℃) **Summary: ** This is not a real nomadic life, but a carefully choreographed desert fairy tale**. When the bonfire goes out and dives into the wool blanket and looks up at stars older than the Burj Khalifa lights, you will forgive those performance marks because the stifling starry sky really belongs to the Bedouins four thousand years ago.

Coming to the Global Village is like traveling around the world. You can see the food and representative buildings of various countries here. It is the best choice for relaxing travel with family, friends or couples in Dubai.
🌍✨ A World in One Place — Global Village is Magic! ✨🌍Global Village is hands-down one of the best cultural experiences on the planet. Imagine walking through Morocco, Japan, Africa, India, Europe, and the Americas — all in one evening. The pavilions are bursting with life, color, music, and smells that instantly transport you across continents. It’s like taking a round-the-world trip without a passport!🎭 The live shows are world-class, with everything from Bollywood dancing and African drumming to acrobats and fireworks that light up the Dubai sky.🛍️ The shopping?

## Dubai Aquarium: Suspended in the shopping center of the deep sea theater ** worth going? ** If you are traveling with your parents or obsessed with the giant ocean landscape, the visual impact of the 48-meter viewing window is definitely worth the fare**; but if you have experienced a top aquarium (such as Okinawa/Singapore), you may have limited surprises. **Core hegemony in scale and magic:** -**World's largest suspended viewing window**: in the atrium of Dubai Shopping Center, the three-story blue hole suddenly topped, hammerhead sharks like ghost fleets passing by, sardine storms whirled into liquid tornadoes**The absurdity of shopping is instantly replaced by deep sea fear Experience** -**Glass Bottom Boat Tunnel**: Take the elevator through the arch tunnel, the emperor's wingspan is three meters, and the reflection and entity are twisted into double behemoths in the arc glass **Hidden highlights in details:** 1. **Nighting shark side**: limited camping area to put sleeping bags in front of the viewing window, at 3 am reef shark green fins swim in dark blue like aliens 2.**Backfield breeding laboratory**: touching the leaf sea dragon that just broke eggs in the box, translucent body slightly trembling with the current 3. **Rainforest area reversal setting**: through the aquarium tunnel, the Amazon dome that roars monkeys, the toucans dive to grab food and trigger screaming**Reality considerations: **-**Basic tickets ≈￥300 only include the observation deck**, tunnel/glass boat needs to be superimposed ￥150+-The crowds are turbulent on weekends, **Doubling the admission experience at 10 am or 8 pm** - The exit is forced to pass through 59 souvenir shops, and the children's crash prevention warning**Summary:** This is essentially a surreal aquarium where business and spectacle coexist**. When you look up at Hermes window and see the shadows of tiger sharks and shopping bags overlap on the viewing window, you understand Dubai's ultimate logic - even the deep sea behemoths are the most shocking window models in luxury malls.
It is one of the largest and most impressive indoor aquariums in the world located in the heart of The Dubai Mall. There are several ticket options available, including Basic Pass (access to the Aquarium Tunnel and Underwater Zoo) , Basic Pass plus (a glass-bottom boat tour and fish feeding), VIP Pass (Offers skip-the-line access, a guided tour, and an animal encounter in addition to the Ultimate Experience inclusions) and also a Combo Tickets (combine entry to the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo with other attractions like At the Top Burj Khalifa or the Dubai Frame)

It was a very cost-effective experience. The climate was very comfortable when I came to Dubai this season. Maybe it was because of the off-season, there were not many tourists in Legoland. I chose Moviegate and Legoland. Basically, more than 80% of the projects did not require queuing, and the children had a great time. I went there when the park opened in the morning and left when it was almost closed. The experience was very good.
I went to Lego and Moviegate. I highly recommend Moviegate!! There are very few people and there are many fun activities!!! However, if you are timid, there are also many exciting activities. You must observe them in advance. Hahaha. Legoland really doesn't have many activities to play, but it's nice to buy some surrounding things.

It's a great place. It's so hot in Dubai, but there's still such a large air-conditioned amusement park without sun exposure. It's rare. There are several areas and a large venue. The waiting time is less than 30 minutes, which is super friendly. It beats most amusement parks in China. The parks in Germany can't do this. There are two roller coasters in each area, which are quite exciting.
I feel it is suitable for slightly older children. My son is 13 years old and there are some activities that he can't play. But it is really worth the trip. The adults also had a lot of fun. It is worth recommending. It is a very exciting project. You will regret it if you go on it.

Smaller than expected. But a good place for families to visit.
Dubai is a relatively niche attraction. It is very interesting to take children there. It is a bit like Singapore's Gardens by the Bay, but the animals are more interactive and close to each other. Birds fly around and there are many species. However, it is not big overall. I finished the tour in less than an hour. It is cheaper than buying tickets directly on site. You can buy and use as you go. You can place an order after arriving at the gate and get the ticket in seconds.
