Tips

1. It is advised that you visit the park between 10:00 and 11:00 AM to take advantage of all the attractions. To see everything without having to wait in line, give yourself four to five hours.
2. Even on weekdays, there may be a 30 to 40-minute wait for some attractions, such as Tom and Jerry. Consequently, we advise going throughout the week and giving priority to the most popular attractions.
3. After buying a Tasty Ticket, you can get a meal ticket that is 30% more valuable and can be used at any restaurant. Or you can visit the nearest IKEA (which is 5-7 minute drive from Ferrari World) to have a tasty and budget lunch after having fun or visit the food court in the Yas mall and choose any of the dining options there.
4. If you want to visit more than one theme park on the island, we suggest getting a ticket that allows you to enter two to four parks, which may save you up to 685 AED.
5. Take into account the Flash Pass option, which costs 150 AED and enables you to skip the lines so you can enjoy the park’s attractions without having to wait in long lines.
6. Pay attention to the discounts provided by ticket sellers listed in the section under “Warner Brothers Abu Dhabi Tickets Price”; a few of them provide additional city tours, transfers from Dubai, and other tempting services at affordable prices.
7. Select one of the hotels offering the “1 night – 1 visit of the Yas Island park” policy (W Abu Dhabi, Yas Island Rotana, Staybridge Suites, Crowne Plaza, Double Tree by Hilton, Park Inn by Radisson, Centro Yas Island).
8. It is recommended that you wear comfortable shoes and clothing because you will be walking a lot while there. It can get a little chilly indoors, so pack appropriately. Children must enter certain experiences wearing closed shoes only.
9. Trying to surprise your kid? With a studio character as the special guest, celebrate their birthday. In addition to food, drinks, presents, and a birthday cake, the party package offers a range of activities and entertainment. Make sure you reserve the premises at least five days in advance of the preferred date of the event.
10. While certain slides and rides are open to everybody, be mindful of height limits if you intend to enjoy a specific attraction to avoid disappointing your child.
