Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark
For waterpark fans Aquaventure is an absolute must-see Dubai attraction; the largest waterpark in the world, it's packed with 105 different slides and rides, including some of the highest and fastest in the world. Located next to Atlantis, The Palm, Aquaventure Waterpark has become an iconic part of the city's theme park scene.
The waterpark's legendary rides include Medusa's Lair, Shockwave and the River Rapids – its attractions are spread across three towers, and the park also features marine and watersports experiences, animal encounters, private beaches and children's play areas for all ages.
Thrills and activities at Aquaventure
Aquaventure's most famous ride is probably the Leap of Faith, a 27.5m plunge that carries you through a clear tube surrounded by sharks and rays – although Blackout is known as "the scarier sister" to Leap of Faith. Along with these body rides, there are also water coasters such as Shark Attack where you ride on an inflatable ring, and group rides including Zoomerango.
There's also river rides, cliff-jumps and more, with endless opportunities for splashing about – and for surfers, even a chance to ride the waves. Children must be taller than 1.2m to ride many Aquaventure attractions, but for smaller kids there are plenty more fun options, including the Splashers Kids' Play Area, a maze of kid-friendly tunnels, tubes, slides and climbing frames.
Aquaventure also offers animal experiences such as swimming safely with sharks, hand-feeding friendly cow-nose rays, and the park's famous dolphin and sea lion encounters. And when it's time to relax and take a breather, you can enjoy the serene private beachfront, 1km in length and ideal for sunbathing or a leisurely walk.
