  • Making a splash: Head to Yas Waterworld this spring for even more fun than before.

    Spring is right around the corner and Yas Waterworld is bringing a variety of seasonal activities and shows to entertain guests in the next month.

    Springfest 2017 will begin tomorrow and run until April 15 at the Abu Dhabi waterpark, giving residents even more reason to visit and let loose in the water.

    Headlining the festivities will be Yas Waterworld’s never-beforeseen mermaids show, with two colourful mermaids set to dazzle park-goers every weekend during Springfest. Meet and interact with the mermaids and capture a moment that is sure to be memorable.

    Kids will also be able to enjoy the biggest egg hunt on Yas Island on the final day of Springfest, April 15, when over 5,000 eggs will be hidden.

    Other activities and shows on offer will be the Springfest Maze at Amwaj Beach, the opportunity to snap a photo with Yas Waterworld characters and even a new, limited edition ice cream, the Yas Twister.

    Bianca Sammut, general manager of Yas Waterworld, said: “Spring has arrived, and we are extremely happy to celebrate the season with families, offering everyone exciting and fun experiences.

    “Guests will be able to create long, lasting memories at Yas Waterworld’s Springfest with our exclusive offerings ranging from colourful mermaids, to fun games, to the largest egg hunt on the island. Families wouldn’t want to miss this.”

    Springfest, of course, is in addition to Yas Waterworld’s 40 exhilirating rides and attractions, five of which are unique to the capital.

    Fun for all the family: Whether it’s exhilerating rides or chilling out on the lazy river, Yas Waterworld has it all.
