If there’s one thing Dubai has hard-earned a reputation for it is having some of the most amazing water parks in the world – not surprising given it’s also one of the hottest country in the world! Whether explosive rides for the young ones or lazy rivers for the adults to surf in that you are after, here are the top five waterparks in Dubai you need to check out before winter knocks.

Aquaventure :
Explore one of the largest waterparks in the world featuring 79 rides across three towers, 26 marine and water experiences. You will have the aquatic thrill of a lifetime here with the ‘leap of faith’, a 27.5m plunge in a clear tube seeing eye to eye with sharks.

A range of exciting motorised and non-motorised watersports awaits you. Register online to celebrate your birthday at Aquaventure for free, present your email voucher and a legal document at the plaza for entry.

Book an Aquaventure Day Pass for Adults at Dh299.

Aquafun:
Put your coordination, stamina, upper and lower body strength to test at the world record holder for the largest inflatable waterpark, Aquafun. It is impossible to not have fun while bouncing, tripping and going for more. They have over 72 obstacles ready for you to try out.

Wild Wadi waterpark :
From sunbathing areas to rapid rivers, this park has a range of attractions for all ages. Wild Wadi is the first waterpark to be ISO certified. Themed around Juha, a famous folklore character, enjoy Juha’s journey laid back on the long lazy river or explore Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon.

Laguna Water park :
Located on the beachfront, this new attraction is the place for surf enthusiasts, kids and their parents. Go 360 degrees, experience zero gravity and race all in one place. After a day of exhilaration, relax in private cabanas overlooking the Arabian Gulf.
