Yas Island theme parks are open late

Theme parks often adjust their schedules during Ramadan and remain open late at night, making post-Iftar family visits an ideal option. Yas Island's four world-class theme parks—Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld, and SeaWorld—offer perfect fun-filled adventure for an evening with the family.

Check out offers, including the Yas Island Stay and Play package which provides Yas Theme Park tickets for two adults for every night of stay, with iftar included during Ramadan!

Most theme park restaurants are open to tourists during fasting hours too.

Yas Bay Waterfront hosts a night market

Yas Bay's Waterfront Nights is a lively Ramadan night market in Abu Dhabi. At the open plaza in front of Etihad Arena. This family-friendly market features Arabic street food, traditional sweets, clothing, perfumes, live entertainment and activities suitable for all ages, perfect for a post-Iftar outing.

Heritage Village is a place to learn and play

The Ramadan Nights at Heritage Village invites everyone to explore Ramadan celebrations while experiencing UAE culture and heritage.

Activities include Village Lailam, Hag Al Laila Parade, traditional games, Arabic coffee making, star gazing sessions, kids storytelling, scavenger hunts, puppet shows and crafts workshops.

Louvre Abu Dhabi welcomes all ages

Enjoy an inspiring and interactive experience at Louvre Abu Dhabi throughout Ramadan. During the day and in the evenings, families can take part in audio-visual experiences, workshops, children's museum activities and explore peaceful galleries that provide cultural enrichment for all ages.

KidZania Abu Dhabi is perfect for little dreamers

If your kids need to let loose and widen their imagination, KidZania at Yas Mall is where the magic happens. Little ones aged 4-16 can try on grown-up life for size, think mini firefighters, pint-sized pilots, and tiny TV presenters across more than 40 pretend professions.

It's the perfect escape during the day, and with 3-4 hours of non-stop role-playing fun, they'll come home happily exhausted (and maybe with a new dream career or two).

Jubail Mangrove Park

If your family craves fresh air and a touch of adventure, Jubail Mangrove Park is calling. Wander the 2-kilometre boardwalk or paddle through the peaceful mangroves by kayak during the cool morning hours.

Kids can discover the wonders of coastal wildlife along the way, with plenty of educational signs to spark their curiosity. It's nature's own classroom with a side of gentle adventure.

For easy moments by the sea

Sometimes the best family moments don't need a plan. Abu Dhabi's Corniche Beach is perfect for relaxed days or post-Iftar unwinding. There are playgrounds, cycling paths, shaded picnic spots and that blissful sea breeze.

After a big meal at iftar, let the kids run free or take a dip in the floodlit night swim zones, with lifeguards on duty so everyone can splash safely under the stars.
