Meet The Flintstones and Batman at Warner Bros’ £750m indoor theme park in Abu Dhabi
THE Flintstones and Batman have a flashy new home – and it is right in the middle of the Arabian desert.
Forget grimy Gotham City — the DC superheroes can now be found at the world’s first Warner Bros indoor theme park in Abu Dhabi.
STAYING THERE: One night’s B&B at Yas Island Rotana is from £74pp based on two adults sharing, including entrance to either Warner Bros World, Ferrari World or Yas Waterworld. See .
OUT & ABOUT: Day tickets to Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi are from £61 per adult and £48 per child. See .
That being said, time-poor holidaymakers can nip around the action faster than Superman with the added Flash Pass fast-track ticket option available to buy for £31.
From bigger rides like Scarecrow Scare Raid and my personal favourite, the Riddler Revolution, to guests grabbing a gun and shooting targets in Anti-Mayhem, there is something to keep all ages entertained. It opened its doors on Wednesday after a dazzling party the night before at which United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum himself partied alongside the likes of Bugs Bunny and Barney Rubble.
Around ten minutes from the airport and 40 minutes from Dubai, it’s sure to attract those looking for some fun out of the sun.
The park is also close to plenty of fantastic hotels. I stayed at the conveniently located Yas Island Rotana, a family-friendly 4* spot with a huge pool and incredible service.
With cartoon characters that will evoke nostalgia for the adults, brought to life in exhilarating worlds that will enthral the whole family, Abu Dhabi definitely offers something special for kids and “big kids” too.
