The exciting splash park, recently opened in Abu dhabi at the Khalifa park is a children’s destination with land based water fixtures, recreational facilities, portrayal of underwater world with theatrical lightning and food outlets, areas of simply relaxing and so much more fun for the entire family. With virtually no standing water of any depth as to be hazardous for children, it’s a place where the adults can relax as much as their kids with no anxiety that usually accompanies the water based attractions.

The main attraction is the play structure for children that is actually a shallow pool with four water slides, a crawl tunnel, a water wheel as well as one tipping giant tipping bucket and areas for water guns. Let your kids get sporty and jump and flip on the Lili pad hop which actually contains four trampolines with harnesses. An amusing prospect for kids under 11 is the Surf wrangler where the kids can ride a surf board, balancing themselves, in this mechanically set up surf board. A superb outlet for kid’s vigorous energy is the Bumper boat laggon, where small battery operated boats can be driven and steered to lightly bump into each other and create small commotions that the cheeky kids love. For children with less enthusiasm for vigorous sports there’s always the lazy river which stretches for about 250 metres with a depth of 0.6 metres. One can recline on a tube and glide through the journey with twists and turns around the park and enjoy the view and the refreshing splash of water on them.
There’s always technology backing up the park’s entertainment with its electrifying theatrical lights and sounds creating an interactive atmosphere recreating the underwater world and its creatures. The radio controlled Derby show is a superb platform to invest your competitive spirit as one gets to manoeuvre and pilot their own Dhow past the obstacles and competitor boats and steer it to a victory.
Steer yourself away from the water into dry land to experience the thousand fold luxuries that Abu Dhabi hotels has to offer. Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara is located on the famous Diwa dessert and offer a cluster of villas as well as rooms and suites that offer a perfect heaven indoors, with rick, eastern fabrics to snuggle into at night, or the delightful pool at your own private pool or one of the four venues for dining that offer simply mouth watering gastronomical delights from all over the world. With its combination of conveniences and exotic location, this is one famous name topping the list of luxury hotels Abu Dhabi.
