Yas Waterworld is a large, Emirati‑themed waterpark covering around 15 hectares (the size of about 15 football pitches) on Yas Island, near other major attractions like Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi. It opened in 2013 and has become one of the UAE’s most popular family and adventure destinations.

The park’s theme is inspired by The Legend of the Lost Pearl — the story of a young Emirati girl on a quest to find a legendary pearl — giving the park a unique narrative and cultural flair that you’ll see throughout its design, characters, and zones.

Yas Waterworld features over 60 rides, slides, and experiences (some sources say ~45 core attractions with new additions bringing more) suitable for all ages and thrill levels.
