Dubai Hotels And The World's Greatest Theme Parks

By:


Whether it"s water thrills or computer game-inspired rides, you"re never too far away from a fun-filled family adventure in one of the many luxurious Dubai hotels. Dubailand is launching in 2015, aiming to challenge Disney, as the theme park capital of the world, so we take a look at the best theme parks currently available in the favourite Emirates holiday destination.

Whether it"s sliding down the Ziggurat through a shark-infested lagoon, splashing about in the rapids or tackling the rope bridges of the children"s water playground, Aquaventure will be ideal for you. Located in Atlantis The Palm, one of Dubai"s most impressive hotels, the park is complimentary to in-house guests and visitors can also get the chance to experience dolphins in their natural habitat at the nearby Dolphin Bay.

Set over two levels in Dubai Mall, SEGA Republic offers 76,000 square feet of motion simulators and virtual experiences from just AED 140 per day. Join Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends, as they twist and turn in nine heart-stopping attractions and 250 amusement games, split into five zones of entertainment. This is the perfect place to escape the shops for an action-packed adventure, whether it"s dropping 9 metres in the Sonic Hopper, battling Dr. Eggman on a thrilling rollercoaster or imaging you"re on a bobsled or safari.

A popular family attraction is Wild Wadi Water Park, a 12-acre oasis in the middle of the desert. It offers 30 rides and attractions, as well as wave pools, adventure rivers and a full programme of family shows, and was inspired by the Arabian folklore character, Juha. Mimicking the impressive architecture of the nearby Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach hotels, it also offers the Jumeirah Sceirah - the tallest free-fall slide outside of North America. If you dare to take a ride, it"ll send you hurtling down 33 metres at up to 80km per hour. The new Tantrum Alley also pushes thrill seekers to the limit.

Let your children take control at KidZania, located in Dubai Mall. This is a whole new town where children are in charge, and they"ll get the chance to fly aeroplanes, drive buses, and work in restaurants and Dubai hotels. Your kids will feel like proper grown-ups for the day, and there is even a bank where they can save all their money. Built to meticulous detail, you"ll need a city map to get around this amazing edutainment centre, where the Zupervisors lead the kids in their new roles.
