WHAT TO EAT, WHERE TO PARK, AND MORE ...

-

There are plenty of parking spaces, and the walk to Warner Bros World from the car park is straightfo­rward with clear signs pointing the way. On arrival, visitors are immediatel­y ushered into a courtyard that holds four ticket booths. Each station has up to three members of staff processing tickets. Two ATMs for cash withdrawal­s, and a large guest relations suite, are also available.

Taxis are easily accessible. A taxi from Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi to Abu Dhabi Corniche is about Dh80, while to Downtown Dubai is between Dh200 and Dh250. When it comes to food, restaurant­s are at every corner in each of the venue’s six themed “worlds”. In the Warner Bros Plaza there is the old Hollywood charm of The Starlight, the Italian-inspired Hollywood Trattoria and the bright diner of Celebrity Scoop. The latter is for those with a sweet tooth, with a simple softserve ice cream at Dh15. For something more substantia­l, Metropolis’s Big Belly Burger is a good choice. It is an all-American diner where you can gorge on burgers (from Dh25 to Dh45 depending on the number of patties requested).

One thing is for sure, Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi wants visitors to buy their wares.

Most of the shops in the park sell much of the same WB-themed memorabili­a. In Treasures of Hollywood, there are souvenirs on sale. A Batman #210, from March 1969, was the rarest comic we spotted, is Dh900. Visitors can also pick up original Road Runner artwork signed by Chuck Jones for Dh4,000.

General admission for adults is Dh295. Those under the height of 1.1 metres are eligible for a Junior ticket at Dh230. Those coming in groups can make use of the Family and Friends ticket, which is valid for four people and valued at Dh885. Children under the age of three go free.
