Yas Waterworld Begins Yearlong Celebration of Fifth Anniversary

This January, Yas Waterworld celebrates its 5th anniversary. Since 2013 the park stands as the country’s unique Emirati-themed aquatic adventure park - and Abu Dhabi’s favorite.

Yas Waterworld moved its way into the hearts of families across the UAE and abroad, thanks to its original adventure of The Lost Pearl, brought to life through a captivating world of rides, slides and attractions. Dana and The Legend of the Lost Pearl is a unique story of color and character, set to an Emirati background. Original in its conception, it captured the hearts of the nation, which continues to return to the park for more adventures.

Each time they do return, park guests are stirred by something new and unfamiliar at an attraction that promises wave after wave of experiences. Whether diving deep into Dana’s quest of the lost pearl or letting the water carry them at its own pace, they can hand pick the experience they desire, and be guaranteed a special new memory with every visit. Guests of Yas Waterworld  also got to enjoy 382 days of additional fun over the past five years. Ladies Night, Springfest, Neon Nights and Dana’s Spooktacular were just a few of the Park’s family entertainment events that saw guests return to Yas Waterworld again and again.

“Looking back at our five years of operation, it’s clear from the way our guests share their many memories, that we have become one of the UAE’s favorite family attractions, and this is just the beginning for us. Our aim is to continue to add more experiences to ensure families and friends continue to enjoy new adventures at the park,” says Bianca Sammut, General Manager, Yas Waterworld. “For Yas Waterworld, this is not a celebration for our team only, it is a celebration for all our guests,” she added.

Since its inception, Yas Waterworld has been recognized with nearly 30 awards and honors. Conde Nast Traveller ranked the waterpark among the 10 best in the world in 2017, while TripAdvisor awarded Yas Waterworld its Traveler’s Choice accolade for a 4th consecutive year in 2017. Other noteworthy recognitions have also been granted by CNN, LA Times, and others in the past.

For now, the park is concentrating on developing new experiences that will excite new and loyal guests in equal measure. As a year of celebrations down at the nation’s favorite waterpark begins, there’s never been a better time to plan a full day out at Yas Waterworld.
