“Crowded and overated”

I can't really understand why Wild Wadi is so popular tourist trap. Or can, 'cause it's so good advertised. But I don't think that very many people who come here first time want go back. The hole place was so crowded, we been here on thursday afternoon which is popular time, but still! We must stay in line about one hour to get any slides. Restaurants was so full of people and around the pools there wasn't enough deckchairs.
Yeah, I admit that the waterpark located in spectacular place: Burj al Arab and Jumeirah beach-hotel on the background were unforgettable. The ride called Masterblaster was very nice too, but it was just like the Family ride, I couldn't notice any difference. Jumeirah Sceirah was too scary so we didn't even try it. Flowriders should have been fun - but it's not if you can't surf. Breakers bay was so crowded that we couldn't enjoy about the waves at all. Flood river was ridiculous: the "creating waves" were so slow that we almost fall asleep. And Juha's Journey: the hell of the waterpark! Every slides end up with those terrible lazy river! When you have sailed it throught once, you don't want do it again - but you should. So that's why the most of people just climbed up the walls and tried to get away from here as soon as they can.
So that's the other problem besides the crowded: every slides are either too easy or too scary. That's why I won't go to the Wild Wadi if I come back to Dubai someday.

This water park is nothing special as the water parks you would find in US. Its like if you dont have anything better to do and want to go for abit of fun then yes you can go have a good time. For kids they would love it. Its entrance is expensive but service inside is great and staff very helpful. I have been once to experience it but would not go again.

“Be warned!”

Wild Wadi Water Park

Beware the gate security! We've visited water parks around the world and never encountered this before!

The security 'guards' made absolutely no attempt to check through belongings for anything threatening as far as we could see, the only aim appeared to be to take all items of food and drink away from visitors. These were then confiscated until departure time: a whole room inc fridges were devoted to this 'contraband'!

I objected to this and was told they are a profit making organisation!! As I said that my children had allergies, I was allowed to keep our sandwiches - I also hid a litre of water and as they weren't doing proper security checks, got away with it! At 36degrees, expensive to buy drinks and food on top of their hefty entrance fees.

The park itself was ok but unremarkable and apart from one ride, mild, but staff inside park helpful and friendly.

Desert safari definitely worth a go, though touristy as you would expect, we found Funtours way cheaper than Arabian Adventures for what appeared to be same trip and was fun for all the family.

Big Bus Tour very good value and a good start to holiday.

Beware of the Dubai traffic - a nighmare and don't let a Dubai taxi driver take you to other than a major hotel in Sharjah- they are prone to get lost and charge you for it!!

“Excellent FAMILY Water Park”

Wild Wadi Water Park

5 of 5 stars
Wangaratta, Australia

5/5 found this review helpful

Wild Wadi Water Park is an excellent day for the entire family. However if you are an adrenalin seeker, it's probably not for you.

The Park is a good size as it is not too big but has plenty to see and do with lots of variety. The queues move quickly so you are not constantly waiting and spend more time doing.

We loved that there weren't many stairs. Kids on waterslides can be quite tiring after a while if you are climbing steps all day so at WIld Wadi you can have family fun but it's relaxing too. At the bottom, you get on a tube and the water and conveyer take you to the top and the water slides. Therefore it is also great for those who are not so mobile.

The park is very well presented with great views of the Burj Al Arab and surrounding area from the highest point.

“A great-sized waterpark”

Wild Wadi Water Park

4 of 5 stars

5/7 found this review helpful

My family and I got free entrance to the Wild Wadi cause we stayed at the Burj Al-Arab (Wild Wadi is owned by the same company that owns the Burj). I like the waterpark, cause the line moved along speedily, all rides took an average of less than 5 minutes. And we went on Friday and Saturday, where it is supposedly the most crowded. There is a big complex for toddlers and kids with its own slides. There's the body boarding for more skilled attendants. My favorite ride was the individual tubing slide, where they shoot you up a few times, and once you're up there, you go tubing down the slides, with a total of 11 slides including a completely dark tunnel.

It was amazing, fun for all ages, safe and clean.
