If your kids are the type who live for roller coasters and water slides, Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is a dream. Several world class theme parks sit right next to each other, which means you can build a trip around them without ever driving far.
Ferrari World is the headline, home to the fastest roller coaster on earth, but it also has plenty of gentler rides for younger children, so the whole family finds something. Warner Bros World is a completely indoor, air conditioned park, which turns out to be the smartest thing in the desert, because it means a full day of fun no matter how hot it gets outside. And Yas Waterworld is a superb water park for cooling off.
My advice is to pick one or two rather than trying to cram in all of them. A single park is a full, happy day with kids, and stacking three in a row just leads to meltdowns. Book your tickets online ahead of time for the best prices and to skip the queues, and start early before the midday heat.
Stay in a Yas Island hotel and you can walk or take a quick shuttle to the parks, nap back at the room in the hot afternoon, and head back out refreshed. It is theme park heaven, engineered for the climate.
