What Our Guests Say

Great park, but check ride status first! Ferrari World is an epic indoor theme park with insane thrills – Mission Ferrari and Flying Aces are incredible. Sadly, the world's fastest coaster (Formula Rossa) was closed for maintenance during my visit, which was a huge disappointment. Huge plus: it's air-conditioned, clean, and the staff are great. Good Italian food too. Tip: Download the Yas Island app before you go to check which rides are running. Consider a Fast Pass for busy days. Still a fun day out, but definitely plan ahead!

Amazing and Unforgettable Experience! We visited Ferrari World last week and had an absolute blast! Everything was top-notch, from the incredible world-record roller coasters (Formula Rossa is a must-try!) to the overall atmosphere, clean facilities, and great family attractions. The staff was very welcoming and everything was exceptionally well-managed. Highly recommended for thrill-seekers and families alike. A must-visit when in the UAE

Visiting Ferrari World Abu Dhabi today with our family was an absolute blast! From the moment we stepped inside the iconic red roof, we were immersed in a high-energy, world-class experience that exceeded all expectations. The park is incredibly well-organized, spotlessly clean, and surprisingly family-friendly. While it's famous for record-breaking rides like Formula Rossa—the world's fastest roller coaster—there was so much more for everyone in our group, including younger children. Our kids loved the Junior GT driving school, Junior Grand Prix, and the interactive 4D shows. It was wonderful to see them giggle with joy and feel like little champions. The staff were professional, attentive, and genuinely cheerful, making safety feel seamless and fun. We also appreciated the variety of dining options, shaded rest areas, and the smooth ride operations—barely any unexpected downtime. Beyond the thrills, the Italian-themed details, live entertainment, and simulator experiences added a layer of polish you'd expect from a top global attraction. We left with huge smiles, tired legs, and a camera roll full of happy faces. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or visiting with little ones, Ferrari World delivers a five-star, high-octane day out for the whole family. Highly recommended – we can't wait to come back!

A fun place under a beautiful architectural structure, good a/c and not busy on weekdays. Some attractions might close and re-open during the day. Food is average. Prayer on speaker. Inside a shopping mall with best brands. Free bus pick up from and to your hotel. Download ‘Yas Island’ app for discounts and fast entrance. More attractions for adults than children. Can walk on roof, zip line fly, and Ferrari car ride/ last 3 extra cost. Bring license if driving.

My first visit to Ferrari World exceed my expectations! Tha park was clean, the rides were thrilling, and the staff were welcoming and accommodating. Whether you're a Ferrari fan or just looking for an exciting day out, this place is definitely worth adding to your bucket list. We had a wonderful day at Ferrari World with my friend. The rides were incredible, except Formula Rossa we didn't experienced coz under maintenance but still definitely worth it to visit if you love thrill rides. I recommend arriving early to enjoy more attractions before the crowds build up.
