Looking for a weekend plan that’s all about fun, freedom, and just you and your girls? Say hello to Yas Waterworld Ladies Day —a vibrant and exhilarating Friday event that’s exclusively for women. Held at one of the UAE’s most thrilling water parks, this weekly occasion has fast become the go-to plan for anyone craving a blend of water rides, great food, and music—all within a safe and private environment.
Picture a day where you enter a theme park, staff are all female, and the entire park is open only to women. Jump in for adrenaline-pumping water slides or laze in the wave pool- either ways you’re sure to have fun. From groups of besties to mums with kids in tow, the vibe is inclusive and welcoming.
If you’re planning to gather your girl gang and head to Yas Waterworld Ladies Day, here’s everything you need to know!
What Is the Yas Ladies Event?
Yas Waterworld’s Ladies Day is a niche Friday event designed to give girls and women a relaxed and totally secluded waterpark experience. From 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM every Friday, the entire park is turned into a ‘female-only’ space where visitors can enjoy the entire range of rides, slides, and thrills without concern for mixed company or wandering cameras.
It’s more than just entry into the park—it’s a celebration of sisterhood. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the change in energy. The staff—from security to lifeguards and entertainers—are all women, and mobile phones and cameras are strictly banned to ensure total privacy. For women who wear modest swimwear or just prefer to have fun without feeling watched, it’s an ideal setting.
And it’s not all about splashing around. The day is filled with curated entertainment, like live music performances, high-energy sets from female DJs, and seasonal surprises (think pop-up makeup booths, giveaways, or fitness activities). This is what makes Yas Ladies Day stand out—it’s not merely ride access, it’s an experience designed specifically for women.
Throw in specially selected dining choices, meal-included ticket packages, and limited-time seasonal promotions such as Emirates NBD discounts, and it will make sense why Ladies Day is one of the most popular attractions at Yas Waterworld.
Yas Waterworld Ladies Day Timings
Yas Waterworld Ladies Day takes place every Friday, giving you the perfect weekend treat to look forward to. The event runs from 1:00 PM until 10:00 PM, offering nine full hours of aquatic fun, music, food, and entertainment—all tailored just for women.
The earlier finish time allows you to wind down your Friday evening, take a relaxing morning, and then go to Yas Island for an adrenaline-pumping afternoon and night. If you prefer to tackle the largest attractions first thing in the morning, or relax and soak up sunset DJing, the timing is perfect for adrenaline-seekers and relaxation-lovers alike.
As part of the park’s privacy policy, no mobile phones or cameras are allowed once the event starts, and all male staff vacate the premises. This timing applies only on Fridays; regular park hours are mixed-gender on all other days.
One thing to keep in mind is that temporary construction near the venue may cause occasional visibility into certain areas of the park, but staff do their best to manage this sensitively. Still, the vibe remains upbeat, energetic, and very much female-focused.
For the best experience, plan to arrive early to get your wristbands and enjoy the full day. The fun doesn’t stop until 10 PM!
Who Can Attend?
Yas Ladies Day at Yas Waterworld is open to women and girls of all ages. Whether you’re a teenager celebrating school break, a mum with toddlers, or a group of friends planning a girls’ day out, this event is crafted with every type of guest in mind.
One of the best policies is the allowance for boys up to 8 years of age. Boys over 8 years old can come along with their mothers or female guardians but must bear a valid government ID (either Emirates ID or passport) to prove their age. This ensures a secure and welcoming atmosphere for all guests.
All female guests are welcome to try the entire range of rides and amenities available within the park. A relaxing float on the lazy river or a wild splash on the gravity-dropping Dawwama—whatever floats your boat, so to speak—there’s something for you.

How To Reach?
- By Car or Taxi
If you’re driving yourself or hailing a cab, you’re in for a smooth ride. From downtown Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld is just about a 30–35-minute drive. You’ll hop on E12, the Sheikh Khalifa Highway, which takes you straight to Yas Island. Just follow the brown signs that say “Yas Waterworld” once you’re on the island — they’re easy to spot.
Flying in? If you’re coming straight from Abu Dhabi International Airport, the park is practically next door — 15 to 20 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
Coming from Dubai? You’re looking at a 90-minute drive, give or take. Take the E11 (Sheikh Zayed Road), then swing onto the E10 or E12, both of which lead to Yas Island. Parking is free at the park, which is a rare treat, and if you want to skip the walk, valet parking is available too (for a small fee).
Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Careem or Uber are widely used. Just drop “Yas Waterworld” into your app and you’re sorted. From Abu Dhabi city centre, expect to pay around AED 50–60.
- Using Public Transport
If you’re more the public transport kind, you can still get there — it just takes a bit of patience. From the Abu Dhabi main bus terminal (Al Wadha), look for Bus 190. It runs directly to Yas Island and stops right near the park. It’s an air-conditioned ride, and depending on traffic, it takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Fares are super affordable — just a few dirhams with a Hafilat card (Abu Dhabi’s transit card).
Coming from Dubai? It’s a two-part journey. First, take Bus E100 (from Al Ghubaiba) or E101 (from Ibn Battuta) to Abu Dhabi city. Once there, switch to Bus 190 for the final stretch to Yas Waterworld. It takes longer, but it’s doable if you’re travelling on a budget.
