Yas Island park guide

Yas Island theme parks compared: which one fits your group?

Yas Island in Abu Dhabi has four big theme parks: Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld and Yas Waterworld. Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and SeaWorld are fully indoors; Yas Waterworld is the water park. The parks say each one takes 6 to 7 hours to see properly, so plan on one park a day. This guide sets out who each park suits, the rules that catch families out, and the official prices next to ours.

One park a day, or a multi-park pass?

The parks say each one needs 6 to 7 hours to cover its rides and experiences, and Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and Yas Waterworld do not allow re-entry once you leave. Two parks in one day means rushing both.

For two parks or more, look at the official Multi-Park Experience: two, three or all four parks, with 6 days after your first visit to use the rest. Yas Island says it saves AED 200 to 700, depending on how many parks you choose. Entry is by FacePass or fingerprint; if you opt out, everyone needs official photo ID on every visit.

We sell single-park tickets for all four parks. For one park, compare the two prices on each card above; for two or more, set the official pass against the total of our single tickets before you buy.

Children, heights and free entry

Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and Yas Waterworld price tickets by height, not age: one price from 1.1 m and a junior price below it, because a few rides are closed to guests under 1.1 m.

Children under 3 go free at all four parks, and Yas Waterworld lets 3-year-olds in free as well. The parks may ask for ID to prove a small child's age, so bring it.

At SeaWorld, children aged 3 to 11 must be with an adult who holds a ticket. Formula Rossa at Ferrari World takes riders from 1.40 m to 1.95 m tall and up to 100 kg.

Yas Waterworld on Fridays: Ladies Day

Until 6 November 2026, Yas Waterworld holds Ladies Day every Friday from 11:00 to 22:00. Only women may enter, with boys aged 8 and under if they carry government ID; girls aged 11 and under need an adult with a ticket. All the staff are women, and phones and cameras are not allowed.

Ladies Day has its own event ticket, and a regular park ticket is not valid on those Fridays. Unless you are going for Ladies Day itself, pick another day of the week.

Getting there from Dubai

Yas Island puts the drive at about 75 minutes from Dubai airport. Parking at the parks is free.

The parks say return buses run daily from Dubai for ticket holders to Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and Yas Waterworld; check the timetable on the park's website first. If you stay on Yas Island, the free Yas Express shuttle links the hotels and the parks.

A private transfer from Dubai is the door-to-door option; ours is below.

Official prices and ours

Online, the parks charge AED 345 at Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World, AED 295 at Yas Waterworld and AED 375 at SeaWorld. At the gate, Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World cost AED 360 to 380, and Yas Waterworld AED 305 to 325, depending on the season.

Official tickets cannot be cancelled or refunded; the parks will change the date for AED 50 per person if you ask before 19:00 the day before. Our price for each park, and whether our ticket can be cancelled, is on its card above.
