Wonderland, Dubai
Editor's Note: PARK IS CLOSED FOR RENOVATION; UPGRADE ONGOING.
Peter Pan didn’t want to grow up, and we can all relate to that; here in Dubai you can become Peter Pan and let your dreams fly away in Wonderland, one of the best theme parks in the world. Located near Creekside Park, it opened in 1996 and it comprises over 18 hectares of indoor and outdoor activities dedicated to amusing everyone from 7 to 70 years old.
The place is a wonderful mixture of a traditional funfair, with its skill games where you can win a prize on the dart stand, the coconut shy or bowling alley, and a futuristic park with its Action Ride Theatre, a 4D simulator that will take you through various alien landscapes including water and wind effects that really make you think that you are on another planet!
The “Fort Fun” section of the park will keep the little ones happy for hours: this reproduction of a Caribbean fort has climbing frames, slides, swings and trampolines which will turn your kids into pirates and heroes in the blink of an eye!
There is a great theatre that features 3D films where you take part in the show: smell the monsters’ breath and watch creepy-crawlies climb up your leg!
Outside you can enjoy the swimming pools with their water-slides, rides and activity pools. If you don’t want to get wet, there are camel rides, carousels, go-karts, bumper-cars, remote-control boats, and roller-coasters.
Every Wednesday is Ladies Day – open exclusively for women; Thursday is Family Day. The rest of the week, the park is open to everyone.
