Yas Island Theme Parks: Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld or Yas Waterworld?
5 min read
The answer first
Yas Island has four parks: Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and Yas Waterworld. If you only have time for one, pick by what you enjoy rather than by name: rides and speed (Ferrari World), film characters and family rides (Warner Bros. World), marine animals (SeaWorld) or slides (Yas Waterworld). If you want two or more, the operator’s own multi-park tickets are offered as 2-, 3- and 4-park options, and the Yas Island Multi-Park Passes are on GetYourGuide from €105.47.
The four parks
| Park | What the listing says | Price | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrari World | The world’s first Ferrari-branded indoor theme park, with rides and attractions “for visitors of all ages” | €83.65 | 4.1 / 5 (1,757 reviews) |
| Warner Bros. World | The world’s first Warner Bros.-branded indoor theme park, with rides, themed attractions and character meetings | €83.65 | 4.5 / 5 (443 reviews) |
| SeaWorld Abu Dhabi | The world’s largest indoor marine-life theme park, eight realms, animal encounters, live performances, rides; optional add-ons sold separately | €71.53 | 4.2 / 5 (442 reviews) |
| Yas Waterworld | A water park holding the Guinness World Record for the most waterslides, with over 70 rides, slides and attractions | €71.53 | 4.3 / 5 (181 reviews) |
How to choose
- Rides and speed: Ferrari World. It has the most reviews of the four.
- Children who love film characters: Warner Bros. World. The listing describes character meetings and themed attractions.
- Animals: SeaWorld. Note that “optional add-ons sold separately” means some experiences cost extra; the booking page shows which.
- Hot days: three of the four are described as indoor. Yas Waterworld is the water option.
Rides have their own height and age limits, so check the park’s rules and the booking page before you promise a child a ride.
One park, two parks, or a pass?
Every park is a day out on its own; trying to fit two into one day is possible with a one-day ticket for two parks, but means a long day and rushed visits. A multi-park pass, which the operator says you can use for six days after your first park entry, gives you room to split the parks across several days. Whether that is better value depends on how many days you have, so price the single tickets above against the pass for your dates.
Getting there
All four parks share the island, so you can switch parks without a new journey across the city. The park tickets in the listings are admission tickets; whether any transport is included is on each booking page. Our city tour guide covers sightseeing options that stop on Yas Island.
Check before booking
- Whether your ticket is for a fixed date or open.
- Which add-ons or queue options cost extra.
- Age, height and health rules for individual rides.
- The park’s opening hours for your date: they vary, and the park websites show different times by day.
Our recommendation
Choose by interest: Ferrari World for rides, Warner Bros. World for film characters, SeaWorld for animals and Yas Waterworld for slides. If you add a second park, a multi-park pass is worth pricing. Look at the theme park tickets section for all options.
