Aquaventure Waterpark: A must-visit

Aquaventure is Dubai ‘s largest waterpark, with plenty of pools, slides, and all sorts of rides. It is located on the magnificent island of Palm Jumeirah, alongside Atlantis The Palm Resort. You can visit the park on a day trip from Dubai and being in this waterpark is such a nice experience. Contrary to its theme, “aqua” the lake, and “adventure” is wrapped up into one. It’s packed with the best journeys you might ever picture, the most entertaining and heart-stopping!

Overview

The adventure waterpark begins with two main towers: Poseidon Tower and Neptune Tower. Guests will be permitted into the towers and the height is at least 1.2 meters tall. In Greek myths the lord of the sea is Poseidon. The Tower of Poseidon includes some great rides.

Aquaconda

This is nothing other than the largest water slide in the country. The Aquaconda plunges its riders into a dark, meandering tunnel, resembling a gigantic serpent by sea. It then suddenly drops them into the world’s largest tube of fiberglass.

Poseidon’s Revenge

It is not for the faint-hearted one. Riders are asked to go in and wait for a capsule. The floor slides without notice from below and they plunge at around 60 kilometers per hour!

Slitherine

This is the world’s first true “waterslide inside a water slide.” Riders can race to see who finishes its numerous twists and turns first. However, they need to be careful, as one wrong turn could take them to the Aquaconda ‘s belly!

Zoomerango

This is not your usual tobogganing. It involves vertical drops and abrupt plummets, all producing a sense of weightlessness. The Zoomerango is the right journey for those who choose to surmount gravity itself.

The Tower of Neptune includes these adrenaline-pumping rides

Shark Attack

This is one journey that visitors never forget: gliding into the core of Neptune ‘s Tower in an inner tunnel. Moments later they ‘re in an underwater lagoon filled with sharks of various kinds!

The Leap of Faith

True to its name, undertaking this journey, which stands tall at 9 storeys, requires a tremendous amount of bravery. At high speeds it involves a near-vertical drop, then hurtling through an acrylic tube. There are plenty of cownose rays and sharks swimming around this tube.

Water Coasters

This is a thrilling journey utilizing water jets to move riders up, down and then through a maze of dark tunnels. There is a quiet river at the end of the trip.

Splashers

Meanwhile, kids who don’t meet the 1.2-meter requirement for the Poseidon and Neptune Towers can head up to Splashers. Young children can have their time in the pools, fountains, and mini-waterslides here.

Other things to do

At the Aquaventure Waterpark, a range of kiosks offer items from beach apparel to games, beach necessities to souvenirs, and more. The kiosks also stock smoothies, fresh fruits, ice-creams, popcorn, and sorbets. At Waves or Splashers you can have sandwiches, hot dogs and shawarma, then at Lagoons you can have cold drinks and shakes. Snappers offer a wide selection of cakes, tea, coffee, pastries and frozen items. Shark Bites provides typical Arabic cuisine and quick-food choices for both indoor and outdoor seating.

Barracudas has a range of eatery choices such as TBJ for burgers, Shawafel for Shawarma, The Dosa Factory for dosa and tandoori, Asia Republic Express for Chinese, Peetza for pizzas and Rooster 66 for fried chicken.

Best time to visit Dubai

The perfect time to explore the United Arab Emirates will probably be during the colder months of the year. The middle eastern climate is usually hot and warm. The perfect time to say hello to the UAE is between October and February. The weather is mild at this time of year allowing for a nice jacket or jumper.
