We visited Yas Waterworld today, and the team surprised my daughter Mariam with a wonderful birthday gesture — they brought her a cake with her name on it and sang for her. It was such a sweet moment, and it honestly made her day. We really appreciated their kindness. 🎂😍 The staff were super friendly and warm, and they added a lovely touch to our visit. Thank you for making our day even better. ✨ Small gestures like this mean so much to kids, and it made her day unforgettable♥️ Totally recommend visiting Yas Waterworld — and we’ll definitely be coming back on our next special occasion. ♥️🎉
