Yas Island: Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and the F1 Circuit
How to plan a visit to Yas Island's entertainment attractions, including Ferrari World and the Yas Marina Circuit.
Yas Island: Abu Dhabi's Entertainment Hub
Yas Island brings together several of Abu Dhabi's biggest entertainment attractions in one place — Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, and the Yas Marina Circuit, home to the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix — making it possible to fill an entire day (or several) without leaving the island. It's built specifically around large-scale entertainment rather than historical or cultural sights, a different kind of Abu Dhabi day than the mosque or Louvre.
What's on Yas Island
| Attraction | What It Is |
|---|---|
| Ferrari World | An indoor theme park with the world's fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa |
| Yas Waterworld | A large water park with slides and attractions themed around an Emirati pearl-diving story |
| Yas Marina Circuit | The Formula 1 track, offering track days, driving experiences, and tours outside race weekends |
| Yas Mall | A large shopping mall for a change of pace between attractions |
Planning a Visit
Each major attraction (Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld) realistically needs the better part of a day on its own, so most visitors pick one or two rather than attempting everything in a single trip. Multi-park passes are available if you're planning to visit more than one attraction, often at a better combined rate than buying tickets separately.
If a Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend isn't happening during your visit, the Yas Marina Circuit still offers driving experiences and track tours — worth checking even outside race season.
