Wild Wadi Waterpark Jumeirah

This water park is a Dubai classic. It's big, beautifully designed and, although it's no longer state-of-the-art, beautifully maintained. There are enough attractions to make a day at the water park go by quickly. The rest areas are beautifully decorated and in different locations, the most beautiful is a terrace with an amazing view of the Burj al Arab. The ticket price is not low, but the whole experience justifies the price. There are, however, a few small things that the owners of the water park should fix (it is difficult to get cold water in the showers, which is rather impractical in the summer months, the food is of lower quality, etc.).

Wild Wadi Waterpark is located next to the Burj Al Arab and offers about 30 rides, but you’re right—it feels pricey for what you get. Many of the attractions are older, and only about two or three stand out, while the rest are fairly ordinary. It takes around 3–4 hours to experience everything. I visited on a Friday, so there were some wait times—not terrible, but noticeable. Overall, it’s decent if you’re nearby, but don’t expect a top-tier waterpark experience.

Wild Wadi is one of the best water parks we’ve ever visited! From the moment we entered, everything was smooth and well-organized. The park is beautifully themed with a fun Arabian vibe, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the day. The variety of rides was impressive — perfect for all ages. My favorite had to be the adrenaline-pumping Jumeirah Sceirah, while the lazy river was a relaxing break between thrills. The kids’ area was super engaging and safe, which made it easy for us parents to enjoy ourselves too. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities, the availability of lockers, and the wide selection of food options — everything was well thought out. Whether you’re looking for high-speed slides, wave pools, or just a sunny day out with the family, Wild Wadi delivers a fantastic experience. Can’t wait to go back!

I recently went to Ladies Night at Wild Wadi, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing and frustrating experience. The ticket price of 165 AED did not reflect the value or quality of the visit. Queue times for the rides were excessively long, ranging from 15 to 40 minutes, primarily due to the overwhelming number of visitors and the apparent exhaustion of the staff. It was clear that the park had exceeded its acceptable capacity. Basic utilities were also missed. There were no functioning fans or accessible potable water, which led to a concerning situation where a family member experienced high blood pressure while waiting in line. The dining facilities were similarly inadequate only two restaurants were available, and both were severely overcrowded. Another major issue was the poor management and crowd control. There were incidents of visitors arguing and even fighting with the guards, highlighting the need for better conflict resolution and communication training for the staff. Perhaps most concerning was the water quality. It had an unpleasant odor and discoloration, and the free chlorine levels appeared to be insufficient, raising serious hygiene concerns. This experience was especially disappointing because I had visited Wild Wadi in the past and had a much more enjoyable time. Sadly, the recent visit did not live up to those expectations.

Wonderful place for kids and families Well organized and very safe You need to bring your water, sunblock and towels Food prices above average Highly recommended and with no doubt you will enjoy and spend a memorable day They open from 10:00 AM till 6:00 PM and recommended to arrive at opening time to avoid lines! Yet, it’s a great experience!
