Short answer
One day with teenagers: Ferrari World. One day with children under seven: Warner Bros. World or SeaWorld. Two days with a family: Warner Bros. plus SeaWorld on a two-park pass. Three or four days on Yas: a three- or four-park pass, one park a day. Yas Waterworld is a separate day, ideally in the morning. All our tickets are open-dated, and there is no child fare.
The four parks in brief
| Park | What it is about | Who it suits | Time | Indoors | Open-dated ticket |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrari World | speed, racing roller coasters, Formula 1 simulators | teenagers, adults, coaster fans | full day | yes | 319 AED |
| Warner Bros. World | six DC and Looney Tunes worlds, family rides | families with children from four or five | full day | yes | 320 AED |
| SeaWorld Abu Dhabi | indoor marine park, themed worlds, shows and animals | families with children of any age, a calm day | full day | yes | 349 AED |
| Yas Waterworld | water park built around a pearl-diving legend, slides of different levels and kids' zones | families and groups who want water | half a day to a day | no | 275 AED |
Each park also has a ticket with lunch; its price is in the product card next to the standard ticket. For a detailed comparison of the two indoor parks, see the guide "Ferrari World or Warner Bros.".
Tickets and the multi-park pass: five options
This is where visitors get confused most often, so here it is point by point.
The rule is simple. "In 1 day" is for people who visit Yas once and are ready for a busy day. A "pass" is for people staying on Yas or in Abu Dhabi for several days. You choose the parks at the gate and can change the order. There is no child fare: from age three it is an adult ticket, younger children enter free.
- Single ticket to one park: open date. Come on any day before the ticket expires; you do not pick a date when you buy.
- Any 2 parks in 1 day: 398 AED. Two different parks on the same calendar day; you decide which ones at the gate. Valid until 31.12.2026. There is also a version with lunch: 439 AED.
- 2-park pass: 434 AED. One park a day, valid 6 days from first entry.
- 3-park pass: 515 AED, one park a day within the same window.
- 4-park pass: 594 AED. All four parks, one a day.
How many days to plan
One park is one day, and that is not an exaggeration. Ferrari World, Warner Bros. and SeaWorld each fill a whole day, especially with children. Two parks in one day only works with the "any 2 parks in 1 day" ticket, an early start from Dubai and no long lunches. The water park needs a separate day or half a day: in summer, arrive at opening time; in winter, the afternoon is fine too.
The plan that most often works for our guests coming from Dubai: day one, Warner Bros. or Ferrari World (depending on the children's ages); day two, SeaWorld; the water park if you still have the energy and the days. A family with pre-school children: Warner Bros. and SeaWorld, and leave Ferrari World for the next trip.
With children: what matters
There is no child ticket, so a family pays for every guest aged three and over. Age decides the park. For children up to six or seven, Warner Bros. and SeaWorld are easier: the rides and zones are designed for younger guests. At Ferrari World the main coasters have height limits, and the day will come down to the kids' zone. The water park has children's areas with low slides, but most of the adult slides have height limits too; check at the entrance to each ride.
Pushchairs, food and water follow the usual park rules. The indoor parks are cool all year round, while outside, between the parks, it is hot in summer, so use the shuttle to move between them.
How to get there from Dubai
Three ways:
1. Yas Express: a free shuttle that links the island with Dubai and runs between the parks on the island. Routes and timetables change by season, so check them for the day of your trip rather than relying on old articles. 2. Taxi: one to two hours each way, depending on your area of Dubai and the time of day. Convenient for families with small children. 3. Our Abu Dhabi tour with hotel pickup: if you want to combine a park with the city, such as the Louvre, the mosque and the Corniche.
You do not need to walk between the parks on the island: the same shuttle takes you from gate to gate.
What else is on Yas
Besides the four parks, the island has the Formula 1 circuit, a shopping mall and a waterfront. If you are going to Abu Dhabi for a day from Dubai and want to see the city, do not combine Yas with the Louvre and the mosque on the same day: a park fills the day on its own. For that route there is a separate guide, "Dubai or Abu Dhabi".
Checklist
- The park is chosen by the children's ages, not by how famous it is.
- You know which ticket you need: single, "2 parks in 1 day" or a pass with one park a day.
- You have read the ticket validity and the pass window in the option details.
- You have allowed for the drive from Dubai: one to two hours each way.
- Lunch: take the ticket with lunch if you plan to spend the whole day inside.

FAQ
Which parks are on Yas Island?
Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi and the Yas Waterworld water park. The first three are indoors and open all year; the water park is outdoors. We sell all four with an open date.
How is "any 2 parks in 1 day" different from the 2-park pass?
"In 1 day" means two different parks on the same calendar day. The 2-park pass means one park a day within a window that starts at your first entry. The first suits a single trip to Yas, the second suits a stay of several days.
Is there a child ticket for the Yas parks?
No. From age three it is an adult ticket, and younger children enter free. A family's total depends on the number of guests aged three and over.
Which park should I choose with a five-year-old?
Warner Bros. World or SeaWorld: the rides and zones are designed for younger children, and both are indoors. At Ferrari World a child of this age will mostly use the kids' zone, as the main coasters have height limits.
How much time does one park take?
A full day for each of the three indoor parks; half a day to a day for the water park. Two parks in a day only works with the "any 2 parks in 1 day" ticket and an early start.
How do I get to Yas from Dubai?
By the free Yas Express shuttle (check the timetable for your travel day), by taxi, which takes one to two hours each way, or on our Abu Dhabi tour with hotel pickup. On the island the same shuttle runs between the parks.
Are the parks open in summer?
Yes. Ferrari World, Warner Bros. and SeaWorld are fully indoors and air-conditioned. In summer, visit the water park in the morning or towards the evening.
