The food zone of the water park is represented by many cafes and restaurants that offer drinks and snacks, as well as Indian, Thai, Korean and other cuisines of the world. Bringing food and drinks into the water park is prohibited.

For the convenience of guests, the water park has a shopping area where you can buy souvenirs, beachwear and the necessary sun protection. In addition, you can hide from the hot sun in the shady alleys of the water park, planted with date palms and tropical plants.

Aquaventure Waterpark Slides

Aquaventure Water Park has dozens of slides and water rides that will appeal to visitors of all ages. A distinctive feature of its structure is the ability to conquer hill after hill without leaving the aqua zone. Along the perimeter of the water park of the Atlantis Hotel there is an exciting attraction “Mountain River” , where you can not only ride along the river rapids, but also explore the park. The length of the river is about 2 kilometers.

The most extreme slides of the water park originate from two towers – “Neptune” and “Poseidon” , which are built in the form of ancient pyramids with several levels.

Poseidon Tower includes themed water slides of different heights and lengths. Entrance to the attractions of the tower is allowed for persons over 1.2 m tall.

The longest slide of the tower is “Aquaconda” , which, like a snake, is winding and unpredictable. This is the longest water park slide and is considered the largest in the world. Its length is 210, and its width is 9 meters. The descent along it is carried out on inflatable rafts, designed for 6 people. At high speed, streams of water carry people down from a height of 25 meters. This adventure is one of the most extreme and consists of going through several types of tunnels.

The Zumerango waterslide is another way to tickle your nerves and try to break the laws of gravity. The raft for several people then falls, then flies up the hill, at some point breaking away from the surface, giving delight and adrenaline. The length of the slide is 156 meters, and the height of the site (and the reference point for free fall) is all 14 meters.

For those who have not yet conquered the elements of the sea, the real “Poseidon’s Revenge” awaits . This is almost a vertical capsule, where a person enters, suddenly the floor under him falls through, and he flies, carried away by streams of water, down at a speed of up to 60 km per hour. In the finale, the dive takes place in the pool, but due to the speed of the descent, it is no less fast and exciting. The water attraction “Slytherin” is unique.– double descent, which has no analogues in the world at present. This is a slide, going down the steep bends of which, you can compete with friends in speed. To do this, special scoreboards with data are installed at the finish line, which enhance the spirit of the competition. Slytherin partly passes through the Aquaconda slide, interspersed with it, as a result of which you can combine two attractions and visit the inside of a giant anaconda.

The Neptune Tower is not inferior to the extremeness and variety of its attractions. Not everyone will decide to descend them, therefore, just like the Poseidon Tower, only persons over 1.2 m tall are allowed to climb here.

In front of the Neptune Tower there is a pool with sharks and giant rays, and its attractions are associated with it. The waterslide “Attack of the Sharks” takes visitors deep into the tower, descends from a height of almost 30 meters, and then passes along the bottom of the pool with marine life. The tube of the slide is transparent, so you can see how a shark or a stingray swims overhead. You can go down the hill alone or as a couple.

The most extreme slide of the entire water park is also located on the Neptune tower and is called “Jump into the Unknown” . This is an almost vertical descent from the height of a house of 9 floors, which passes in a matter of seconds and ends in the same transparent pipe, surrounded by sharks and huge rays. The descent is possible only single, without a raft.

There is also a less extreme, but also exciting attraction – a system of water slides with an unusual structure, which allows you to first lift a person up with the help of water flows, and then lower them down at high speed. The path involves several zones – dark tunnels, steep turns, overcoming which a person will find himself in the middle of a calm river.

You can relax from extreme sports in one of the many pools of the Aquaventure water park, which are designed for visitors of any age and height. The depth in them increases gradually. There is also a swimming pool for adults, located opposite the natural reservoir and the beach. It is pleasant to relax and swim in it both before and after visiting the attractions. In addition to the usual ones, there is also The Torrent pool, where you can enjoy tidal waves, the height of which sometimes reaches 1 meter.

The water park has a unique recreation area and a private beach over 700 meters long. This is a clear sea, golden sand and peace, a rest from active entertainment, surrounded by the sound of waves and palm trees. In addition, this is the only beach in Dubai that is closed and accessible only to visitors to the water park.

For children , the Aquaventure Water Park is equipped with a whole entertainment complex Splashers , where the smallest visitors and older guests will feel comfortable. Entrance here is allowed for children under 1.2 meters tall, accompanied by their parents. Attractions allow you to involve the whole family, but the emphasis is on children, to whom the play area offers 14 types of slides of different difficulty levels ( “Cyclone”, “Wave”, “Flash” , etc.). The complex also includes a rope zone where children can feel like pioneers and climbers, numerous water attractions and surprises in the form of regularly overturning vats of water and suddenly turning on jet fountains.

In April 2018, the opening of a new play complex “Island of Splashers” , focused on the youngest guests, took place. But, as in the main complex, the whole family can relax here: while the children master the shallow pool and 7 water slides descending into it, parents can relax under umbrellas or take sunbaths lying on sun loungers.

The location of all attractions can be seen on the detailed map of the resort and water park Atlantis.

Entertainment with animals

In addition to a wide range of rides and slides, Aquaventure Waterpark offers visitors a unique opportunity to see, observe and feed marine life.

The most popular attraction is Shark Safari , which, despite its ominous name, is quite safe and suitable for all visitors from 8 years old. But children under 16 are only allowed if accompanied by an adult. This is a unique opportunity to dive into a reservoir with marine life without scuba gear, but in a special helmet that creates an air pocket and allows you to breathe while a person walks along the bottom of the reservoir surrounded by fish. There is a detailed briefing before the dive. Programs run daily, but it is advisable to sign up in advance.

Feeding the bull rays is an equally popular entertainment offered by the water park, and the only one in Dubai. Stingrays live in the same reservoir, in shallow water. Children from 6 years old can participate in feeding every day. Under 16s accompanied by parents.

Also on the territory of the Atlantis hotel is the Dolphin Bay dolphinarium , a ticket to which is purchased separately, but includes the possibility of visiting the Aquaventure water park and the beach within one day. Detailed information about programs and tariffs is on the official website of the Dolphinarium .

Ticket prices: how to save

You can buy a ticket more advantageously in advance on the official website of Atlantis.  You can also buy at the box office at the entrance, but much more expensive (365 AED at the box office, against 289 AED on the site).

If you buy a ticket on the website ten or more days before the date of your visit, the prices will be slightly discounted (approximately 10 AED). There are several rates available (price in AED) for adults (anyone above 120cm) and children (any age below 120cm):

	Adult	Child
Aquaventure Day Pass (Classic All-Day Entry Ticket)	289/299	235/245
Aquaventure Day Pass with Meal Deal (Water Park + Set Lunch)	344	290
Aquaventure Day Pass with Photo Package (water park + photo from water park photographers)	344	290
Aquaventure and The Lost Chambers combo ticket (water park + oceanarium in one day)	354	280

The rental of towels and lockers for clothes is also paid separately:

• towel – 35 AED;
• locker – 45 AED small and 75 AED – large;
• locker + towel – 55 AED;
• slippers (a la socks) for swimming – 10 AED. Good stuff, I recommend 

I recommend buying a ticket with meals, because you need to eat something, and the prices in the water park are high. The price difference pays off in one go. Of course, food in the park is just fast food, but still. Be sure to bring water with you. It is allowed to bring up to 1 liter per guest into the water park. In the park, it is expensive – from 15 AED.

Opening hours + get to the water park

There are several ways to get to the Atlantis the Palm Water Park.

The monorail is the most interesting, but expensive way. The monorail station is located on the coast, at the very base of the Palm Jumeirah, the landmark is the T1 tram stop. If you take the metro, the nearest stations are Dubai Internet City Metro Station 2 or Nakheel Metro Station. Also, the monorail station can be reached by city buses No. 8 and 84. It will be even more convenient by bus.

Monorail trains run every 15 minutes from 9:00 to 21:45, the price of a one-way trip is 20 AED, a round-trip is 30 AED. Get off at the Atlantis terminus. To the left of the monorail terminal is the entrance to the water park.

GPS coordinates for driving: Latitude: 25.130366 (25N 7′ 49.317″), Longitude: 55.117378 (55N 7′ 2.5608″). There is free parking at the entrance to the water park.

Taxi is the most convenient and cheapest way. You can call using the mobile applications RTA or Uber Dubai .

Aquaventure Waterpark is open daily from 10am to sunset. The official closing time is 6pm, but it is rarely observed. On holidays and weekends, the water park can work up to eight.

Choose your date of visit carefully! There are too many visitors on weekends (Thursday-Friday) and holidays. The descent from the hill takes from 10 to 50 seconds, and for this time you have to stand in lines for 30-40 minutes. And so, the Aquaventure water park, despite the price, is a great place for youth to relax.
