Yas Island theme parks
Four theme parks on one island, all run by the same operator. Every one of them publishes a price, and not one publishes it on its ticket page. Here is where each figure actually sits, and what the parks publish besides.
The price is published. It is just not where you would look
On 15 September 2026 we opened the four parks’ ticket pages, their multi-park pages and Yas Island’s own general admission page, looking for a number in dirhams. None of them carries one. What they carry instead is a saving — “Save up to AED 245”, “Save up to AED 685”, “save over 10%” — a discount with no published figure to discount from.
The figures are on the FAQ pages, in the answer to a question about why online is cheaper. Three of the four parks publish a full seasonal price ladder there. SeaWorld does the exact reverse: its FAQ carries no ticket price at all, and its single-day ticket page carries AED 375.
We got this wrong first time. This page previously stated that no Yas Island park published a readable price, on the basis of six pages that do not. We had not read the FAQs. The correction is dated and logged in the corrections log, and the prices are now on a page of their own.
The consequence of putting a price two clicks from the page called “Tickets” is visible in any search: the results are resellers, because a vacuum gets filled by whoever is willing to publish a number. We publish the operator’s — a reseller price is not the operator’s price, and the rule on this site forbids reprinting one.
What each park publishes, and on which page
| Park | Online | At the counter | Where it is published |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrari World Abu Dhabi | AED 345 | AED 380 peak / 370 medium / 360 low | Its FAQ. Its tickets page carries no figure |
| Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi | AED 345 | AED 380 peak / 370 medium / 360 low | Its FAQ. Its single-day ticket page carries no figure |
| Yas Waterworld | AED 295 | AED 325 peak / 315 medium / 305 low | Its FAQ. Its single-day ticket page carries no figure |
| SeaWorld Yas Island | AED 375, with no online-and-counter split published | Its single-day ticket page. Its FAQ carries no ticket price | |
The full ladder, the annual passes and the junior ticket rule, or work out what a group pays.
What else the operator publishes
| Rule | As published |
|---|---|
| Children under 3 | Published four different ways by the same operator — see below |
| Unaccompanied children | “Guests aged 11 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult holding a valid admission ticket” |
| Junior tickets | Priced by height, not age: “there are a few rides that will be restricted to them, hence the above and below 1.1m ticket pricing”. Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World and Yas Waterworld all use the same 1.1 m threshold and the same sentence |
| Ride restrictions | Published ride by ride on each park’s own site. We have collected all 34 published limits. SeaWorld publishes none |
| Annual passes | Silver AED 1,595, Gold AED 1,795, Diamond AED 3,295 — published on Warner Bros. World’s own site, and not on Yas Island’s own annual pass page, which names the three tiers and prices none of them |
| Opening hours | Not published in one place. SeaWorld’s multi-park page says to “check our operating hours” and links out to each park separately |
| Date changes | “A charge of AED50 will apply per person” after the deadline, at all four |
| Lost annual pass | “subject to the payment of AED 100 administration charge” |
One operator, four versions of the under-3 rule
This is the kind of thing that decides whether a family of five buys four tickets or five, and the same company publishes it four ways on its own sites:
| Where | As published | Is a 3-year-old free? |
|---|---|---|
| Ferrari World FAQ | “Children below the age of 3 are admitted free of charge when accompanied by their parents” | No |
| Warner Bros. World FAQ | “Children below the age of 3 are admitted free of charge when accompanied by their parents” | No |
| Yas Waterworld FAQ | “Children 3 years of age and younger are admitted free of charge accompanied by their parents” | Yes |
| Yas Waterworld ticket page | “Got little ones below the age of three? They can enter for free” | No |
| SeaWorld ticket page | “Guests aged 2 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult holding a valid admission ticket but can enter the Park for free” | No |
Yas Waterworld contradicts itself: its FAQ makes a three-year-old free and its own ticket page does not. Ferrari World adds a second condition nobody else does — “Parents may be asked to provide ID to verify the age of guests younger than 3”. Carry the birth certificate or passport, and budget for the child rather than against it.
The four parks, and which suits a Dubai day trip
We do not rank. What is published:
- Ferrari World Abu Dhabi — the roller-coaster park, part indoor. Twelve published height limits, three of which contradict themselves. Its homepage publishes no hours; the header reads “Open Today:” with nothing after it. A published phone number, 600 511115, is answered 9:00am–7:00pm GST.
- Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi — fully indoor and air-conditioned, which is the relevant fact for a trip between May and September, when Dubai’s own outdoor attractions become difficult. It is also the only one of the four to publish a senior discount: “present proof of age (60+ years) at the Ticketing plaza to avail a 10% discount for a day ticket”.
- Yas Waterworld — outdoor, the cheapest of the four at AED 295 online, and the one where height decides most: ten published limits from 100 cm upward.
- SeaWorld Yas Island, Abu Dhabi — the newest, the dearest at AED 375, and the only one that publishes no ride height limit at all on its own site. It does publish a stroller at AED 40 and a locker at AED 45.
Abu Dhabi is a different emirate, with different authorities. Your nol card does not work there, Salik does not apply, the parking system is Mawaqif rather than Parkin, and taxi fares are set by a different regulator. What changes when you cross the border.
This is a Dubai site, and this page is here for the reader planning a day out from Dubai. Abu Dhabi is a different emirate with different authorities; where we have not checked an Abu Dhabi figure against its own source, we say which authority applies rather than quoting one. The whole section, and its limits.
Common questions
How much is a ticket to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi?
Its own FAQ publishes AED 345 online, described as a fixed price, against counter prices of AED 380 on peak days, AED 370 in medium season and AED 360 in low season. The figure does not appear on its tickets page — only on the FAQ, in the answer explaining why online is cheaper.
Why can't I find an official price on the Yas Island ticket pages?
Because the operator does not put one there. The ticket and multi-park pages publish savings — 'Save up to AED 245', 'Save up to AED 685', 'save over 10%' — without publishing the figure being discounted. The prices themselves are on the FAQ pages, except at SeaWorld, where it is the other way round.
Which Yas Island park is cheapest?
On the operator's own published figures, Yas Waterworld at AED 295 online. Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World are both AED 345 online, and SeaWorld publishes AED 375 with no online-and-counter split. These are the four parks' own figures, read on 15 September 2026.
Do children go free at Yas Island theme parks?
The operator publishes the rule four different ways on its own sites. Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World say 'children below the age of 3'; Yas Waterworld's FAQ says '3 years of age and younger' while its own ticket page says 'below the age of three'; SeaWorld says 'aged 2 and under'. A three-year-old is free under one of those and not under the others.
How much is a Yas Annual Pass?
Warner Bros. World's own site publishes Silver at AED 1,595, Gold at AED 1,795 and Diamond at AED 3,295, with a limited-time 25% off promotion quoted as 'from AED 1,196'. Yas Island's own annual pass page names the same three tiers and publishes no price for any of them.
What are the height restrictions at Yas Island?
Ferrari World publishes 12, Warner Bros. World 12 and Yas Waterworld 10, ride by ride on their own sites; SeaWorld publishes none. We have collected all 34 on one page, with the three Ferrari World rides whose published rule contradicts itself.
Is it cheaper to buy Yas Island tickets online?
At three of the four parks the operator publishes both figures, so yes and by how much: AED 35 at Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World against a peak counter price, AED 30 at Yas Waterworld. SeaWorld publishes one figure and no split, so there is nothing to compare.
Is there a senior discount at the Yas Island parks?
Warner Bros. World publishes one and the other three do not mention it: 'present proof of age (60+ years) at the Ticketing plaza to avail a 10% discount for a day ticket'. It is a counter discount, not an online one.
