I was a bit sceptical about Aquaventure as it is pretty far from the rest of the attractions in Dubai but was well worth the journey and the money. It was great to see the Palm resort and the Atlantis hotel is stunning. Get there early and secure a sunbed and go on some of the slides with less people... more

Aquaventure was good value in October 2009 at AED 200 per person, despite the fact that afterwards we found a 25% discount leaflet at our hotel. Well presented and in good condition. Although rides from the Ziggurat often involved queueing, the Rapids ride is fun, quite extensive and because it is continuous and goes past several concrete beaches, you can... more

As we've been to Wild Wadi before (and loved it!) we thought we'd try out the Aquaventure on our last visit to Dubai. Very very disappointing - we thought it was a poor imitation of the Wild Wadi. Not many big rides - but also not many other ride either. The lagoons was very dull - only drama was when... more

We stayed at Le Meridien Mina Seyahi, and my husband and sons (teenagers) loved the water park. We had read the reviews on Tripadvisor, and all seemed to say that it was busy, nowhere to eat and very expensive. Looked at the Wild Wadi, but after speaking with the Hotel it appeared Wild Wadi (the original water park) is now... more

We booked the Atlantis because entry to Aquaventure would be free. Aquaventure is a fun place for the whole day. Nice kiddy stuf, nice raft (however very slow on most sections) on tube and fun slides. Indeed the leap of faith is great. I needed several rides to understand what happened :-). Go on the slides early (after opening) and... more

Leap of Faith is awesome!!! The other rides could be a lot better though. The torrents and lazy river/rapids are a great way to spend a day in the sunshine. Price was OK (220AED) and got BOGOF with the entertainer - Locker fee is outragous!! Also a dolphin interaction area where you can watch (or for 900AED particapate) in a... more

I live in Dubai and go to Aquaventure quite regularly during the hot summer months. Like any other attraction, you must use some common sense when visiting. Don't follow the crowds, there are SO many chairs, you just have to look beyond the first pool where everyone seems to plop down when it's busy. Try to head closer to the... more

The best part of this attraction is that it is new, clean and their are lots of lifeguards to keep you safe. We opted not to take advantage of the 150AED valet parking and parked in the lot. Once there we found out that we had to take a shuttle to the waterpark. Fortunately, we arrived right at opening and... more

Overall having been to both the aquaventure water park and Wild wadi I would say that Aquaventure seemed a little better (although both parks are fantastic). Aquaventure is newer than wild wadi and the attractions were very good for both adults and children. We bought the entertainer book which is highly advised as it gave us buy one get one... more
