Wild Wadi Waterpark Dubai Tickets & Rides

The Wild Wadi Waterpark was inaugurated in 1998, thus becoming one of the very first water parks in Dubai and living among the oldest attractions in the city at the same time. The waterpark is located at the beachfront area near the iconic Burj Al Arab, which in turn gives the visitors not only a fun time with water slides but also a soothing experience of the seaside. 

The waterpark is massive in size and comes with 30+ rides and attractions that include the highest speed waterslides, surf simulators, lazy rivers, and kids' splash areas, to mention a few. Wild Wadi's objective is to provide entertainment for all: while the lovers of extreme sports can pursue their adrenaline, families with little kids can have safe laps in water, and partying groups can combine rides or pool hopping. 

Seasonal Action: Summers in Dubai (May–September) are extremely hot, but still at Wild Wadi, water provides a cool escape. For a much more enjoyable time, it is better to visit in the cooler months or at the beginning or end of the day to stay away from the hottest part of the day.

• A whole lot of fun and excitement is waiting for waterpark freaks at Thrill Rides & Slides, which is nothing but a collection of high-speed free-fall slides and water-coaster experiences. 
• Numerous surf simulators and enormous wave pools are available to choose from for body-boarding, surfing, or just having fun. 
• Chill pools and lazy rivers are the best places to come to if you want to relax after a long day full of rides. 
• Safe water-play areas are provided for children and families at the kids' splash zone, which is the most friendly. 
• The scenic spot next to the sea and near Burj Al Arab has laid-back beach vibes and hours of water fun. 
• Dining, locker, and towel facilities are provided for the convenience and comfort of the visitor all day long. 
• Night or extended hours are possible on some days, and that means enjoying the park under the evening lights is a possibility.

Wild Wadi Waterpark promises a full day of excitement, relaxation, and memories, whether you're a thrill-seeker or simply want to beat the heat with family or friends.

• Location: Jumeirah/Umm Suqeim 3, Dubai, next to Burj Al Arab, along the Jumeirah coastline.
• Opening Hours 2026: Generally 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM on most days. On Saturdays (and sometimes special nights), hours may be extended, offering late evening fun.
• Suggested Duration: 4–6 hours, enough to enjoy major rides, pool sessions, meals, and relaxation

• Views of Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah coastline, good for a beach walk or photos before/after the park
• Beachside cafés or seaside dining in nearby areas (depending on schedule)
• For Dubai stay-overs: easy access via taxi/bus from most parts of the city, but no direct metro connection, plan transport accordingly. 

Wild Wadi divides its offerings into high-thrill slides, water coasters, surf/wave zones, lazy rivers, and family splash areas, ensuring there’s fun for everyone.

Jumeirah Sceirah

• One of Wild Wadi’s signature rides, a free-fall slide from a tall tower, reaches high speed for an adrenaline rush. 
• Height and safety restrictions apply for this ride; check at entry. 

Master Blaster (and its variants)

• A water-coaster style ride: water jets propel riders through drops, climbs, twists, a mix of coaster thrill and splash fun. 

Burj Surj & Tantrum Alley

• Fun group slides/tube rides combining tubular slides, winding bowls, and splash zones, ideal for friends or families seeking shared water thrills. 

These rides deliver the high-speed, heart-pounding water-park experience, perfect for thrill-seekers and adventure lovers visiting Wild Wadi.

FlowRider (Surf Simulators: Wipeout & Riptide)

• The most innovative surf zones for simulation, constant artificial waves are produced where one can body-board, knee-board or even try surfing (for the daring ones).
• It is an experience for surfers or anyone wanting to have a wave-pool experience that is not so far from the sea.

Breaker’s Bay (Wave Pool)

• The wave pool in the area is quite large; it can generate waves of about 1.5 meters high, thus people in a controlled environment can enjoy the beach-style surfing/wave riding.

Juha’s Journey (Lazy River)

• Visitors can easily relax on a floating waterway, which is a very gentle and scenic break between rides. 

These zones provide the guests with wet fun but without the extremes, ideal for families, friends, and those seeking relaxation mixed with adrenaline rides.

Juha's Dhow and Lagoon

• A colourful splash-zone built for children: small slides, water-games, interactive features, gentle pools and a big tipping bucket that drenches the area every few minutes, fun and safe for kids.

With these zones, Wild Wadi ensures even the youngest guests have a great time while parents and older siblings enjoy bigger slides or chill by the pools.
