What is it like to visit the theme park?

The Sun's Becky Pemberton visited the theme park when it opened in 2018 - here's what she thought.

It’s not just the rides that steal the show, with no detail spared when it comes to the design of each world.

I satisfied my inner child sitting in the Flintstones’ car and seeing the Scooby Doo iconic Mystery Machine up close.

You could easily spend the day at the park, and without painful queues in the heat, you won’t find yourself flagging.

With cartoon characters that will evoke nostalgia for the adults it definitely offers something special for kids and “big kids” too.

Single day tickets start from £72 and includes all rides, free parking and shuttle bus.

The Sun's Assistant Travel Editor Sophie Swietochowski visited Abu Dhabi earlier this year - here's here verdict.
