If Formula Rossa is the reason you’re going, check the ride updates page on the park’s website the day before. ## Ferrari World Abu Dhabi tickets and prices A single-day ticket costs **AED 345** online — a fixed price. At the gate it’s more and depends on the season: AED 360 on low-season days, AED 370 mid-season and AED 380 on peak days. Juniors under 1.1 m pay AED 295, and under-3s go free (bring ID showing their age). Tickets are valid for one entry on the chosen date; re-entry isn’t normally allowed. You can change the date for AED 50 per person if you call before 19:00 the day before; refunds and exchanges go through Yas Concierge. Planning Warner Bros. World or Yas Waterworld too? Multi-park tickets are valid over 6 days and work out cheaper than separate tickets. Paying: foreign Visa and Mastercard cards work online and almost everywhere in the UAE, and there are ATMs at the entrance and inside the park. Extras add up fast: Quick Pass starts at AED 150, driving a real Ferrari around Yas Island from AED 950 (passenger from AED 600), and all need an admission ticket. ## What is Ferrari World? It’s the world’s first Ferrari-branded theme park: roller coasters, simulators, a flying theatre over Italy, kids’ zones, Italian restaurants and the world’s largest Ferrari store. It opened on **4 November 2010** and is owned and operated by Miral under licence from Ferrari. Everything sits under one red roof shaped like the side profile of a Ferrari GT, designed by Benoy: around 200,000 m², topped by a Ferrari logo 65 by 48.5 metres. Inside it’s always cool, which makes it one of the few ways to spend a scorching summer day on Yas Island away from a beach or pool. The park counts more than 40 rides and experiences across five zones, and many of them suit kids and families — it is not just a coaster park for teenagers. ## How to get to Ferrari World from downtown Abu Dhabi 1. Abu Dhabi has no metro. From Qasr Al Hosn downtown, the easy option is a taxi or an Uber or Careem ride — about 30 minutes on the highway to Yas Island. 2. Free shuttle: the Yas theme parks run Route D from the city for ticket holders, stopping at Ferrari World and CLYMB. Check city stops, times and whether you need to reserve a seat in the Yas Island app on the park’s website; journey times depend on traffic. 3. City buses are cheaper but slower and involve changes. You can only pay with a Hafilat card, so check the route in the Abu Dhabi Mobility journey planner. 4. On Yas Island, get off at Ferrari World — the park is linked to Yas Mall. Driving? Park free in the Grand Prix car park at Yas Mall. 5. Head back by taxi from the rank by the park, or take the free Yas Express shuttle to the island’s other parks. ## Getting there from Dubai and the airport Yas Island is about 50 minutes’ drive from Dubai. Yas Express runs free buses from Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah for e-ticket holders — be at the stop 5 minutes early, as times are approximate. From Zayed International Airport (AUH) it’s 15–20 minutes by taxi, handy for a long layover or a morning arrival before hotel check-in. Taxis in Abu Dhabi take cards, and Uber, Careem and the Abu Dhabi Taxi app charge your card automatically. Street-taxi card machines are sometimes ‘not working’, so carry a few dirhams in cash. ## Best rides at Ferrari World - **Formula Rossa** — 0 to 240 km/h in 4.9 seconds, 52 m high, up to 4.8 g, with safety goggles handed out. Minimum height 1.4 m. Currently closed for maintenance. - **Flying Aces** — biplane-style cars climb 63 m at 51° and race through the world’s tallest non-inverting loop at up to 120 km/h. 130–196 cm. - **Turbo Track** — 30 seconds that shoot you vertically through the roof to 64 m and back down in reverse. 130–196 cm. - **Mission Ferrari** — a 5D spy-story coaster with backward inversions and a sideways drop. From 130 cm. - **Fiorano GT Challenge** — two parallel 1.08 km tracks where F430 Spider-style cars duel at up to 95 km/h. - **Viaggio in Italia** — a flying theatre over the Alps, cities and vineyards along the Mille Miglia route. From 100 cm. - **Made in Maranello** — a virtual tour of the Ferrari factory from design to the Fiorano test track. From 120 cm. - The Ferrari car gallery and the store — free to browse with your ticket. ## Ferrari World with kids: height limits - **Formula Rossa Junior** — a kids’ version of the big coaster at 45 km/h; from 90 cm, with an adult up to 110 cm. - **Flying Wings** — mini gliders inspired by Flying Aces; from 105 cm, with an adult up to 120 cm. - **Turbo Tower** — a 13.5 m drop tower with zero-g moments and two bounces; from 105 cm. - **Bell’Italia** — a gentle drive in a little red Ferrari through Italian scenery, good for kids who don’t like speed. - Children under 1.1 m pay the junior price: not every ride is open to them, but family rides easily fill half a day. - There are baby-care rooms, stroller rental from AED 40 and prayer rooms on the Plaza level. ## Opening hours and the best time to go The park opens **every day of the year**. Hours vary by day — usually 11:00–20:00, from 10:00 on some days, and different during Ramadan and holidays. These are unofficial: the official calendar only loads in the browser, so check it the day before. Arrive at opening — big-coaster queues are shortest in the first hour and a half. On peak days (UAE weekends, school holidays) buy a Quick Pass or pick a weekday. In summer, when it’s over 40 °C outside, this is the best way to spend a day; in winter, leave time to enjoy Yas Island outdoors too. During the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the circuit next door, the island is packed and taxis take longer to find — build in extra time. ## Online or at the gate? | | Online | Gate | | --- | --- | --- | | Adult, low season | AED 345 | AED 360 | | Adult, mid season | AED 345 | AED 370 | | Adult, peak days | AED 345 | AED 380 | | Junior (under 1.1 m) | AED 295 | Ask at the ticket desk | | Under 3 | Free | Free | | Ticket queue | None — ticket on your phone | Possible at weekends | Online is cheaper every day, by AED 35 on peak days. Your e-ticket arrives by email straight after payment. > **Dress code** The park asks guests to dress respectfully in line with local customs: shorts below the knee and covered shoulders. It isn’t strictly policed at the gate, but vests and very short shorts stand out. Wear closed shoes for the coasters and leave scarves and loose items in a locker. ## Lockers, parking and facilities Lockers are at the Plaza-level entrance for **AED 35**; luggage storage starts at AED 50. Bags and loose items are best left behind on the big coasters, so most people end up needing one. Parking is free in the Grand Prix car park at Yas Mall (you may be asked for your ticket). Valet is AED 52, VIP valet AED 100. Inside you’ll find ATMs, lost and found by the turnstiles, stroller and wheelchair rental, prayer rooms, a smoking area and food from quick snacks to sit-down Italian. ## Is Ferrari World worth it? Yes, if you’re travelling with kids aged about 5–12, love coasters or cars, or need to escape the heat: Flying Aces, Turbo Track and Mission Ferrari are running, and the family rides fill half a day. If you’re going only for Formula Rossa — not right now. It’s closed, and at AED 345 a day without it can disappoint. Not into rides? On Yas Island the [Yas Marina Circuit](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/abu-dhabi/yas-marina-circuit) is the better pick, and in the city the [Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/abu-dhabi/sheikh-zayed-grand-mosque) and [Louvre Abu Dhabi](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/abu-dhabi/louvre-abu-dhabi). ## Before you go: checklist - [ ] Ticket bought online — cheaper than the gate - [ ] Checked the ride updates page for closures today - [ ] Checked opening hours for my date - [ ] Shoulders covered, shorts below the knee, closed shoes - [ ] Measured the kids — height sets both rides and price - [ ] ID for any child under 3 - [ ] Card for payments and a little cash for taxis - [ ] Allowed 4–6 hours plus the trip back ## Yas Island, then the city at dusk The park in the morning, the Formula 1 circuit next door, and the Grand Mosque on the way back to town. 1.

Yas Island’s other parks — Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld and SeaWorld — need their own tickets, though multi-park tickets cover them together. ## Tips - Buy online at least the day before — it beats the gate price every day. - Ride Flying Aces and Turbo Track straight after opening, while queues are short. - The red roof is only seen whole from above — glance out of the window when landing at AUH, as Yas Island is next to the airport. - Pair the park with the Yas Marina Circuit, right next door on the same island. - Bring a light layer: the air-conditioning feels chilly after the heat outside. - With small kids, measure their height before you go — it decides which rides they can take. ## Questions ### How much are Ferrari World Abu Dhabi tickets?

Only Formula Rossa (closed for maintenance since 12 May 2026) and the Roof Walk are unavailable. ### Is Formula Rossa open? No. It has been closed for maintenance since 12 May 2026, and the park hasn’t announced a reopening date. ### What are Ferrari World’s opening hours? Usually 11:00–20:00, from 10:00 on some days, with different hours in Ramadan and on holidays. This is unofficial — check the park’s calendar. ### How do I get to Ferrari World from Abu Dhabi city? About 30 minutes by taxi, Uber or Careem, or take the free Route D theme-park shuttle if you have a ticket. ### How do I get to Ferrari World from Dubai? It’s about 50 minutes by car. Free Yas Express buses run from Dubai for e-ticket holders. ### How long do you need at Ferrari World? 4–6 hours. With young kids or a Quick Pass, half a day is enough; coaster fans often stay all day. ### Is Ferrari World indoors? Yes. The whole park is under one roof and air-conditioned, so it works all year round. ### What is the height limit for Formula Rossa? At least 1.4 m. Flying Aces and Turbo Track need 130 cm; the kids’ coasters start at 90–105 cm. ### Is there a dress code at Ferrari World? The park asks for respectful clothing: shorts below the knee and covered shoulders. ## How we checked Ticket prices, the junior rate, free entry for under-3s, Quick Pass, lockers, parking, the dress code, buses and ride status come from the park’s official website on 03.11.2026: Formula Rossa is listed as “closed for maintenance” and the Roof Walk as “until further notice”. The 12 May 2026 closure date comes from English Wikipedia and Thrillzing. We found no park-wide closure in 2026 on the park’s website or in The National — the park is operating. The official hours calendar only loads by script and listings disagree (10:00–20:00, 11:00–20:00, varying by weekday), so the hours are unofficial and marked as verifying. The park gives two airport times (15 and 20 minutes), so we show both. The logo is 65 × 48.5 m in most sources and 66 m in the developer’s release; the roof is 200,000 m² in most sources and 236,000 m² in one — we use the most common figures. We don’t list city bus numbers: we found no reliable 2026 source. English Wikipedia says Saudi Arabia’s Falcon’s Flight has overtaken Formula Rossa’s speed; with no second source we simply avoid calling it the world’s fastest. The English query core comes from search results for tickets, hours, getting there, worth it and rides for kids. ## Sources - Ferrari World Abu Dhabi official website: FAQ, ticket booking, Park Overview, Rides Information and Updates, ride pages, Driving Experience, Quick Pass, 03.11.2026 - Yas Waterworld official website: buses to Yas Island, 03.11.2026 - English Wikipedia: Ferrari World, Formula Rossa; Russian Wikipedia: Ferrari World; Wikidata Q673656 - Benoy project sheet on Archilovers - Thrillzing: Formula Rossa status, 2026 - The National, 09.04.2026 — Yas Island parks in 2026 - Visit Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Mobility — taxis and buses --- This is the Markdown version of a YesGo page for AI assistants.
