Atlantis Aquaventure Water Park Dubai — Admission & Optional Transfer Guide
Ride record-breaking slides and explore shark lagoons at Atlantis Aquaventure on Palm Jumeirah. This practical guide explains what to expect, timing tips, and whether to add transfer service.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Early
Arrive at opening to secure shade and shorter lines for the most popular rides.
Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Apply broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen before entering pools and reapply after rides.
Use Lockers
Rent a locker for valuables—pools and sand make pockets unreliable and wet.
Check Height Limits
Confirm ride height and age restrictions for children to avoid being turned away at the queue.

Conservation Note
The park manages its marine exhibits as curated habitats and promotes educational programs; visitors should avoid feeding wildlife and use reef-safe products to limit chemical runoff.
Aquaventure opened alongside Atlantis The Palm as part of the Palm Jumeirah development, a large-scale land reclamation project that transformed Dubai’s coastline beginning in the early 2000s.
