There’s so much to do in Abu Dhabi with the kids! You could soar through the air on an Abu Dhabi seaplane flight, feed the monkeys at Emirates Park Zoo or make a splash at Yas Waterworld!

We’ve put together some of our top ideas for family fun in Abu Dhabi below:

Go on an Abu Dhabi seaplane flight adventure

Seawings offer an exciting range of scenic tours in Abu Dhabi taking the iconic landmarks of the city. Experience the fun of a water take-off and soar 1500 ft high above the city! Flying across the sky and pointing out Abu Dhabi’s landmarks with your kids is the most fun Abu Dhabi seaplane flight! See the impressive Emirates Palace Hotel, mangrove forests and Louvre Abu Dhabi from the sky. You’ll be able to spot boats at Port Zayed before gliding back down on the water. Visit www.seawings.ae

Get wet at Yas Waterworld
If its aquatic thrills and spills you’re looking for then Yas Waterworld is the place to be. This water park is brimming with slides, pools and splash zones making this a great day out for families. The wave attraction is popular with budding surfers, and the park often extends its hours into the evenings over summer, with a dedicated ladies night every Thursday. This is definitely one of the more popular Abu Dhabi highlights with kids. Visit www.yaswaterworld.com
