Dreamland Aqua Park at Half The Price


After a 45 minute drive to Umm Al Quwain and losing the way as some smart individual had tagged Dream Land Aqua Park wrong on google maps we finally reached the water park around 2 pm.

2 admission tickets were purchased for a mere AED 135/- with the 'Buy 1 get 1 Offer' on Traveller and we were on our way to look for the locker rooms. The lockers were a safe bet with numeric settings where we dumped all our belonging only to realize that the much required towel element had been left behind. Fortunately the premises has a full fledged sports shop selling everything one would require at the Water Park.

Not being a fan of water based activities and heights the rides and slides in front of me made my stomach cringe with fear but wore a brave face and proceeded towards the first ride.

Ride No. 1 - The Black Hole  
Picked up the inflated raft like floaters which had seating for two and commenced clambering the flight of stairs all the way to the top to be pushed down the winding black hole. Being the first ride to experience and and the dark nothingness in front of us was enough to keep us on the edge and let out horrifying shrieks.


Ride No. 2 -   Kamikaze  
Two to choose from, the Orange with a significant hump midway and the Blue, slightly steeper with no twists. Though it is safe and your body is well bound with the elements of the slide the feeling you get is as if you will be thrown out of the slide and probably not hit the pool at the bottom awaiting to catch your splat.



Ride No. 3 - Slide 5
Almost drowned in the knee deep pool coz I didn't know what hit me. It is exactly what their website describes it to be, looks easy, but one is definitely in for a huge surprise.



Ride No. 4 - Twister
A 40 meter long tunnel with gushing water and a couple of spins in the inner walls of the large bowl and a final nose dive in to deepness




Ride No. 5 - Family Raft Ride
An ideal ride for the entire family of 4 or 5 to experience together.




Ride No. 6 - Twisting Dragons
Honestly stating, I got weak hearted by the time I got to this ride, hence did not try it out, but my friend who did stated it was the freakiest experience out of all the rides and a must try.

     

Ride No. 7 - Wave Pool 
The most chilled out activity out of the lot. One can laze around on a floater and enjoy the summer sun all day long. The waves are turned on every other 15 minutes, so do not be fooled by the calmness of Wave Pool, it can be loads of fun with plenty pushing, shoving and falling off your floater.

There are plenty other rides especially meant for kids and a few for the entire family that we missed such as the Giant Slide, where you get to slide your self down on a doughnut and the Bumper Boats and the Dream Stream, which we did not come across, but is apparently there and operative.

Ride of Lifetime -  The Pool Bar
Bullfrogs, Breezers and the entire variety you find in a full fledged bar all going for a measly AED 20 - AED 45. Cool yourself in the pool while sipping away your beverage, lounge around on the grass or a deck chair and bask in the sun, it doesn't matter coz either way it would feel like heaven after all the battering your usually inflexible body went through.



The property also hosts a number of food outlets to pick up a quick bite and to have a full fledged meal.
