Spring break is here! Are you ready for the most unforgettable family holiday?

 

This three-week vacation students get in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from late March to early April is more than enough time to make beautiful memories with the family.

If you wish to plan the best spring break you and your kids would love, consider these five ideas and Abu Dhabi holiday packages that can make your vacation more fun and memorable:

 

1.Satisfy your need for speed at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

Nothing says fun and memorable better than theme parks, and Abu Dhabi has plenty of them.

In fact, the UAE capital is home to destinations with record-breaking attractions, like Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. This world-famous theme park ‌on Yas Island houses the roller coaster with the tallest loop and the fastest roller coaster on the planet.

Formula Rossa holds the title of being the fastest ride of its kind, with top speeds reaching up to 240 kilometres per hour in just five seconds. Its two-kilometre track also has some of the trickiest twists and turns that will definitely get your family’s adrenaline pumping.

Just know that you and your kids would have to be between 140 and 195 centimetres tall to ride this record-breaking attraction.

Besides Formula Rossa, many Yas Island visitors also flock to the roller coaster with the highest loop in the region – Flying Aces. Named after the super ace aviator Francesco Baracca, this coaster scales 63 metres high on a 51-degree incline, only to drop from that height at speeds of up to 120 kilometres per hour.

 

2.Meet your heroes at Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.

If speed is not really your thing, perhaps you and your family would want a more whimsical experience, like meeting some of your favourite cartoon characters from your childhood. If that’s the case, there’s no better destination for you than Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi.

Stroll through the six ‘lands’ in the largest indoor theme park in the region and stumble across characters from some of the most famous Warner Bros. franchises today, such as:

  • Superman and The Justice League in Metropolis
  • Batman and his friends and foes at Gotham City
  • The Flintstones in their Stone Age home in Bedrock
  • The Jetsons in all their futuristic glory in Dynamite Gulch
  • The Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, and a bunch of animated characters in Cartoon Junction

All in all, the park has 29 exciting rides, shows, and attractions, 20 dining areas, and over 20 shopping destinations.

You and your family can also choose to stay at Warner Bros. World Hotel in Abu Dhabi for the most memorable and nostalgic experience ever.

Is your family the adventurous sort? If so, you might want to spend your children’s spring break climbing tall walls and flying in the largest indoor flight chamber on the planet; that is, CLYMB Abu Dhabi.

Even your kids can enjoy the exhilarating experience by joining the Junior Flying Club at CLYMB Abu Dhabi. With this package, children aged three to 14 years get one-on-one coaching, access to standard flight gear, a personalised development plan, and 20 flights that can be claimed on a maximum of five flights per session.
