Yas Water World + Free Qasr Al Hosn
Highly recommended if you have it on the fence. It is quieter than the theme parks, which was the point of the day for us. Lockers, showers and the usual waterpark logistics were fine. Bring reef shoes if you have them. Easy to recommend.
One of the better things we booked on the trip. We did Yas Water World + Free Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi. Give it more time than you think. We were still in galleries when we had planned to leave. We waited on a timed slot that slipped a little. We would book it again with visitors.

Customer Reviews
Good overall, with a couple of niggles. Slides ranged from mild to serious. We stayed until we were properly tired, which is the test. Audio / signage was clear enough in English. We did not need a private guide. Pricing of extras (photos, food) is aggressive. Go early and it plays better.
Mixed feelings. We did Yas Water World + Free Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi. Audio / signage was clear enough in English. We did not need a private guide. It felt busy and that takes the edge off photos. Choose a better slot / day and it might improve.
Highly recommended if you have it on the fence. It is quieter than the theme parks, which was the point of the day for us. Lockers, showers and the usual waterpark logistics were fine. Bring reef shoes if you have them. Easy to recommend.

Solid 4 stars from our group. We did Yas Water World + Free Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi. Staff at the slides were attentive, which I notice when kids are involved. Queues after security were slower than the ride/attraction itself. Not a regret, just not flawless.
Really enjoyed this. Slides ranged from mild to serious. We stayed until we were properly tired, which is the test. It is quieter than the theme parks, which was the point of the day for us. Easy to recommend.
Would still recommend, just go with the right expectations. Lockers, showers and the usual waterpark logistics were fine. Bring reef shoes if you have them. It is quieter than the theme parks, which was the point of the day for us. We waited on a timed slot that slipped a little. Still glad we went.
