Dubai’s renowned waterparks are making a splash this summer, offering families and adventure seekers a vibrant mix of thrills, relaxation, and unforgettable moments. As part of the ongoing #DubaiDestinations summer campaign spearheaded by Brand Dubai, the city’s leading water-based attractions are at the forefront of family-friendly entertainment options, cementing the emirate’s status as a global leisure hotspot.
From iconic destinations like Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis The Palm to long-time favourites such as Wild Wadi Waterpark, Dubai’s offerings stand out for their innovation, scale, and immersive experiences. With high-speed slides, wave pools, surf simulators, and scenic relaxation zones, these waterparks cater to all age groups — from toddlers to thrill-seekers.
Aquaventure, renowned for its continually evolving rides and family zones, remains a flagship attraction. At the same time, Wild Wadi, nestled beside the Burj Al Arab, boasts over 30 attractions and panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline. For those seeking a unique experience, AquaFun Waterpark at JBR features an inflatable floating obstacle course situated directly on the sea — a thrilling adventure for all ages.
Families with young children are especially well-served. LEGOLAND Water Park, part of Dubai Parks and Resorts, presents a playful environment for kids aged 2–12, while Splash ’n’ Party and Al Barari Playground focus on safe, interactive water play in lush surroundings. Jungle Bay Waterpark, located near Mina Seyahi, brings a Mediterranean touch to Dubai’s coastal experience, appealing to both children and adults.
More tranquil escapes include Grand Hyatt Dubai Waterpark, offering a luxurious family retreat, and OliOli – Water Gallery, an educational water-themed play space in Al Quoz. These destinations blend fun with learning, ensuring every visit is both meaningful and entertaining.
Integrated services, including dining, retail, and family-friendly amenities, enhance the all-day experience. With a focus on safety, innovation, and comfort, Dubai’s waterparks are more than seasonal attractions—they’re vital pillars of the city’s summer tourism strategy.
In parallel with these aquatic experiences, the city continues to roll out a diverse set of water-based activities, from flyboarding and wakeboarding to diving and paddleboarding, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub for adventure tourism and family entertainment.
Running until 31 July 2025, the #DubaiDestinations summer campaign encourages residents and tourists to explore Dubai’s broad range of indoor and outdoor leisure options, shining a light on the emirate’s evolving role as a year-round destination for world-class experiences.
