A distinctive feature of Bollywood parks from other theme parks are the regular live performances featuring some really catchy songs and energetic dance routines happening throughout the day in the different sections of the park.

When you get into the park you’re welcomed by one such dance-Crossroads at Bollywood Boulevard, followed by a live Bollywood rock band at the Rock On restaurant.

Proceed to Mumbai Chowk where the magical mayhem of Mumbai is brought to life; and later to rustic ravine themed like one of India’s villages where numerous classics are set.  

Please note, if you’re selfieholic like me, be sure to take advantage of the many sceneries even before you step into the park such as the giant sculpture of henna decorated hands near the palatial front gate.

Attractions at Legoland Waterpark    

The waterpark is packed with rides and slides for both young/old thrill seekers alike including:

Build-a-Raft River

Notably, this is the only waterpark attraction in Legoland UAE that allows you to customise your raft using the assortment of the jumbo, colorful LEGO bricks before floating away in it down the lazy river.

Note, the lazy river is a bit slow, but you’re at ease to kick in a family race to make it more exciting.

Red Rush

Here you need to at least be in a group of three to fully enjoy the water slide.Get set to spin down a monstrous 95 metre long slide in a round raft as you hold onto your dear life on the edges. Throughout the ride you’ll be spinning and may not really tell where you’re heading, but this makes it all the more thrilling-just prepare to be splashed out at the end.

Joker Soaker

The huge water playground features seven slides in all sorts of sizes and design-some steep, scary; others slow and steady. The area also features climbing areas water spouts, play guns, a paddling pool and a torrent of water dropped from an overhanging 300-gallon bucket.

Notably, the water in this zone is colder than any other area of the park, so unless you’re ready to get drenched by the super huge tipping bucket, you might want to enjoy other areas of the park.

Build-a-Boat

A fanatic of LEGO? Bring your A game because your creativity counts 100% right here as you get to design your own model boat. This is using LEGO bricks which you also get to test on a 10-metre shallow river. Better do a good job, or there’s a price to pay when it disintegrates as you float and you’ll be the laughing stork of the day ;)

Duplo Splash Safari

The shallow, warm, water pool is exclusively dedicated to toddlers. It features four small slides, and huge diplo animals e.g. Elephant, Crocodiles etc with playful water features. The area also features several water fountains dedicated to the younger guests.

Lego Racers

Bring your racing game on! The ride features six parallel racing slides which you speed your way down on mats. For kids, be sure to give them a headstart as it’s obvious the adult’s weight gives them advantage overcoming the drag. Teamwork fam!

The Wave Pool

The extensive wave pool play zone features several slides including two tube rides, one tube twin ride and two solo rides. The wave rider has earned the accolade as the steepest which involves zooming 73 metres down an open slide and right into the water. It’s just so much fun bobbing about on the waves of the pool especially for kids. Other rides in this zone are more suitable for adult riders.

Helpful Tips 

●        The park is open between 11:00AM-5:30PM

●        Bring towels with you, but if you forget, you can always rent one. The park also sells swimming nappies

●        Waterproof your phone/camera! Taking photos whilst having fun in the waterpark is no brainer. Waterproofing your phone just to be on the safe side.

●        Visit the waterpark on a weekday as it’s less crowded and lines are shorter. Not to mention, there’ll be more places to place your towels and more deck chairs.

●        Bring with you flip flops. It goes without saying that temperatures in this region get extremely high, besides you’ll be in and out of the pools. You might be tempted to walk barefooted, but putting on flip flops as you switch between attractions and pools will save your soles

●        Park dry clothes for every individual! Without a doubt, your clothes will be dripping wet at the end of the splashy fun and you’ll need a swap!

●        Bring goggles for the kids too. They’ll really come in handy on the slides and wave pool. Thank me later :)

●        The waterpark has two distinct areas-the more child friendly area which features the lazy river around it, and the wave pool area with most of the adventurous rides.

●        The wave pool area features complimentary sun chairs, and loungers right by the wave pool & the water playground.

●        Cabanas are available for rent for a max of four people

●        There are two food outlets at the waterpark including:Bricks Bites & Waves Bistro. They mainly serve burgers, chicken nuggets, pizza and a couple of salad options.

Legoland water park is unbeatable in delivering fun filled moments with family on the exciting slides. Visit link and splash your way into the epic waterpark because great memories are made out of great experiences.

Rides & Slides Aquaventure Water Park  

Aquaventure water park hosts a plethora of pools, rides and all sorts of slides including:

Poseidon's Revenge Tower

It’s the world’s wildest water slide and popularly deemed the scariest water slide ever. We don’t know what exactly the revenge here is all about, but prepare for some adrenaline rush as a trap door opens beneath your feet, dropping you almost vertically 75ft then before you know it you’re launched into a double loop at up to 40mph.

Think that sounds like too much to handle? Have a warm up at:

Leap of Faith

Most of us are used to gentle warm ups, but not on Leap of Faith (in tower of Neptune)! One it’s hideous, but in the most incredible way and you’ll absolutely love it! The soul searchingly steep ride bottoms you out into a see through tube submerged in a water tank filled with sharks. Scared? We promise the predators won’t feed on you!

Aquaconda  

The none other than the world’s largest waterslide resembles a giant sea serpent. Riders of Aquaconda are plunged into a dark, meandering tunnel and into your final destination-the world's biggest fiberglass tube.

Slitherine

Notable, this is the world’s first ever dual water slide within a water slide. Riders are free to race each other to see who gets to complete the twists and turns first. Just be careful though-one wrong turn will take you straight into the belly of the Anaconda.

Zoomerango

Most definitely not your usual waterslide. Features vertical drops and sudden plummets that gives you a sense of weightlessness while riding on it. You think you can overcome gravity? Zoomerango is a perfect fit for you!

Rides at tower of neptune include:

Shark Attack

It’s one of those rides you’ll not forget in a long time! It glides you into an inner tube that leads you straight into the heart of the tower of Neptune :)

Seconds later, you’re in an underwater Lagoon packed with different kind of sharks.

Water Coasters

The wild ride features water jets that propels you up and down before heading into a maze of dark tunnels that leads you into a calm river, and yeah it calms your senses.

Pro Tip: Children not meeting the 1.2 metre requirement for both the towers of Poseidon and Neptune can head over to splashers. Here kids have a great time too in the pools, fountains and mini-waterslides

Tips for Visiting Aquaventure Water Park-Dubai

●        Visiting the water park is absolutely free for guests residing at Atlantis the Palm Resort. Visitors can book their ticket online here

●        Children below 12 years must be accompanied by an adult

●        A height of 1.2m is required to experience most of the rides

●        The water park is open everyday from 10:00 am until sunset (subject to the time of the year)

●        Complimentary parking is available at Nasimi Beach

●        To make the most of your day, come in early to avoid crowds and extremely long queues (Remember you can skip the queue by booking your ticket online)

●        As earlier mentioned, the park is situated in Atlantis the Palm. So, just in case you’re new to Dubai-it’s right around the corner from Downtown Dubai. Turning up early is dead easy!

●        It’s no surprise that the temperatures rise pretty fast! This means the ground heats up fast as well and you don’t want to stay bare footed and by mid day you be skipping from one shade to the next. Be sure to bring shoes. FYI a pair of water shoes will be just perfect as they don’t fall off or slip-you might want to avoid flip flops at all cost! Thank me later!

●        Wondering how to carry your cash around in swimming trunks or worse still bikini? Good news! You don’t have to carry the cash around Aquaventure. Thanks to a system that allows you wear a wrist band. Simply top it up by cash or card at the start of day and scan it every time you’re making a purchase.

●         Remember to float on lazy river to explore the water park like a boss for upto 45 minutes. The lazy river is 2.5km long and hence the reason you need to get to the park early.

●        Selfie lovers, surprise! I’m about to break your heart but it’s for your own good :) Selfie sticks are not allowed on the rides. But truth of the matter is, you’ll have limited time for photos once you begin going down the slides (you’ll probably be too busy screaming for your dear life, lol)

●        Speaking of screaming, leap of faith is not for the faint hearted. You must be super brave. The near vertical 27-metre drop is no joke and if someone has already warned you, let’s get it straight once and for all-they’re not scared cats! Just to get things a little more into perspective, the ride is roughly 3 times the size of a London bus and half the height of Cinderella Castle at Disney World-Florida (That’s huge)

●        Your safety while at the water park is paramount and you’ll spot lifeguards in abundance and also experts around the park are on the lookout every second. This makes the monstrous rides a tad less intimidating

●        Drink but don’t over indulge. Sure you’ve been waiting for this one and yeah the water park is licensed to sell booze ;) Grab yourself a beer or mojito, but remember getting a little tipsy will have you thrown out of the park.

●        You fancy the dolphins or strange enough the sharks? You could embark on a leisurely stroll under water surrounded by sharks or enjoy a belly ride on a the amazing dolphin!
