FAMILY FUN
ABU DHABI IS THE ULTIMATE FAMILY FUN DESTINATION OFFERING THE COOLEST EXPERIENCES
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi
If you want bragging rights to having tackled the world’s fastest roller coaster, you have to visit this indoor shrine to speed. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is home to record-breaking roller coasters, a connoisseur’s collection of classic cars, family-friendly thrill rides, a huge zip-line and roof-walk adventure attraction and a series of fun festivals throughout the year. @ferrariworldabudhabi
CLYMB
Inside Yas-based adventuredrome Clymb, you can brave an indoor skydive and scale up an artificial Everest. The venue is home to a truly epic wind tunnel that lets you live out all the thrills of hurling yourself out of a plane, except at a few metres above sea-level. Prefer your ascents a bit more hands-on? There is a huge collection of climbing walls, and boulder-edging to pit your finger strength against. clymbabudhabi.com
Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi
The What’s On Award-winning attraction is a summer must-do for all, where your favourite DCU superheroes (and villains), Tom, Jerry, Bugs, Daffy, Tweetie, and The Flintstones are all backed up by some spectacularly wild rides, and expertly choreographed shows. @wbworldad
Prison Island
Taking inspiration from iconic TV show, The Crystal Maze, Prison Island – Beat the Bars is a new adventure experience now open at Abu Dhabi Mall. Set over a 1,000sqm expanse, this is no escape room, it’s a network of 26 individual ‘cells’ featuring tasks each more fiendishly conundrous (shhh, that’s a word) than the last, and you’ll have to beat them all if you want to escape the island, with winner’s bragging rights. @prisonisland.abudhabi.
The National Aquarium
When it’s all looking a bit scorchy outside, why not head to Abu Dhabi’s stunning underwater kingdom, The National Aquarium? In addition to the eight themed zones, an XXL reticulated python known only as ‘Super Snake’, back stage tours, and marine animal rehabilitation projects, there are also a range of marine life meet and greets. You can, for example, have an ‘Ocean Encounter’ feeding sharks measuring up to two metres in length for just Dhs180. And that price includes access to the ‘Aquarium Journey.’ thenationalaquarium.ae
