    "It’s more worth to buy at the counter itself, they give 30% off the package as a bundle and it’s worth more. We regret not checking earlier but we enjoyed the attraction nonetheless. There was a lot to explore! The staff are very informative and friendly too if you ask them questions. They are very kind but are not used to people engaging them which is sad. They have a lot of information to offer about the animals :) the glass bottom boat is also very worth it!"

From thrilling waterslides to tranquil beachside vibes, it's the perfect blend of excitement and serenity. The highlight of the park is undoubtedly its exhilarating waterslides, which wind their way through lush tropical scenery, offering an adrenaline rush with every twist and turn.

    "It is a huge paradise area, hotel dining, but it may be off-season, there are very few people, each park does not have to queue, there are more waiters than guests, so it is clean, relatively speaking, Legoland and motion are old, facilities are relatively old, in general, health is still clean, Those who like relevant topics can come, the hotel will send tickets, there is a shuttle bus, if you don't live in the hotel park, there is a taxi buggy that beckons and stops. Lego's two parks are not big, and the tickets are more expensive than Malaysia. If you only play Legoland, it is recommended to go to Malaysia, more than 300 yuan, you can play Lego Three Parks, the park is also much larger."

    Highlights: From October to April each year, the Global Village attracts an average of more than 5 million tourists from 65 countries. There are too many highlights here. Some people come here for entertainment facilities and mobile games, some people want to come here to taste delicious food from all over the world, some people come here for entertainment performances in the evening, and some people come to bring back some unique gifts. . Here, there are a total of small shops from more than 65 countries, distributed in 37 large exhibition areas, selling special products from all over the world. Here, you can find honey from Yemen, pancakes from Iran and Afghanistan, wood carvings from Africa, glycerin from Morocco, finely carved necklaces from Spain, and dried fruits from Thailand. In the Indian pavilion, there are as many as 300 small shops, cotton products, silk, saffron, and rainbow-colored fiber products. Each themed exhibition area, from Egypt to Italy, Vietnam to Oman, has gone to great lengths in terms of sound, smell and decoration in order to make visitors feel like they are in the corresponding country. No two exhibition areas are exactly the same, in order to give visitors an immersive, global feel. In the evening, the entire park was arranged into 4 themes. On the main stage, magic, music and opera were intertwined, and it was not clear whether it was a dream or reality.

    "It feels suitable for a slightly older child to play. The son is 13 years old and has projects that can't play, but it is indeed a worthwhile trip. Adults are also having fun. It is worth recommending. It is a very exciting project. It will be regretted when you go up."

    Highlights: The Green Planet Tropical Rainforest Indoor Botanical Garden is located in the CityWalk business district. It brings the amazing animals and plants of the Amazon to the desert country for people to watch. It is a new miracle in Dubai. At the center of the botanical garden is a 25-meter-tall artificial kapok covered with greenery and parasitic vines that fill the five-story glass space. Although the tree is fake, there is a variety of vegetation and animals on it: colorful purple-blue macaws and bright toucans skim the air, porcupines and sloths take sleepy walks, and fish come from farms in Singapore , many trees come from Thailand and India. In such an artificial forest, the entire interior is carefully controlled at 70% humidity and a temperature of 25-28 degrees Celsius. A total of more than 3,000 species of animals and plants have been introduced from all over the world into this constant temperature chamber, along the trails surrounding the giant kapok. Walking down slowly, you can vividly experience the different ecology of each level of the rainforest.

    "Our visit to Wild Wadi recently was great. The kids enjoyed the water slides. The place looks a bit old and needs an update. We enjoyed the lazy river water slide. They have available several places to lounge while one is not playing in water. We got swindled at the reception to buy a prepaid all you can eat meal plan at 185 AED. Once you arrive inside you discover the food is terrible and there are more nicer food options you could have had. Finding a secure phone charging point is impossible."
    Dubai.Jumeirah Beach
    27.8 km from downtown
    No.6 of Water Fun Attractions in Emirate of Dubai
    Highlights: Wild Wadi Waterpark is located on the Jumeirah Public Beach in front of the Burj Al Arab Hotel. It's a relatively popular theme park in the Middle East. You can experience the pretty exciting "vertical capsule" ride in the park, to fall at relatively high speed from the air. You can also experience surfing in the wave pool, or leisurely float for a circuit. The park theme is that of the warrior Sinbad's exciting adventures as told in the Arabian legends. It combines Arab-style water constructs, while some water facilities are interconnected so there is no need to leave the water while playing inside.

    "On the edge of the Dubai River in the Iranian town, you can slowly stroll for an afternoon to learn about Dubai's development history and major industries. After visiting the Dubai River in the evening, you can cruise the Dubai River, see the scenery on both sides of the Straits, and then go to the night market in the Iranian town and eat Arabic food. Live in the town. Basically, the trip is not arranged for a full day. Very interesting."
