NACO Dubai
★★★★★6 months agoWe visited Wild Wadi with our family. We enjoyed the whole day there. Our child is 120cm tall, and we could ride most attractions together. There were many fun rides for both kids and adults. The sunset was very beautiful and made the day even more special. It was an amazing and fun family experience! We will come back soon.Thank you!

★★★★★7 months agoThis was an amazing experience. It has very thrilling water fun games for all, children and adults. The location of the water park is very strategic... it is next to Burj Al Arab, a seven Star hotel in Jumeirah. You will never get sliding water tunnels like those in Wild Wadi. We had an exciting day full of fun. The views from the top of the Wild Wadi are amazing.
