Warner Bros. World, Abu Dhabi, the theme park welcomes you into a world of fantasy. I was as much excited as my son to visit this theme park, recreate my childhood, and above all have loads of fun. The park is divided into six immersive lands – Warner Bros. Plaza, Bedrock, Dynamite Gulch, Cartoon Junction, Gotham City, and Metropolis. Warner Bros. World is packed with rides, shows, and attractions for everyone, big and small alike. It is situated on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, and covers 1.65 million square feet.
When I stepped into this place, I was awestruck by the setup and was anxious to make the best of everything the place had to offer. I had made up my mind to sit on every ride (which I didn’t due to my phobia for heights) and explore every nook and corner of the park (which I dutifully did). I spend a whole day here, just as excited as my child, and was transported to the lands of my favorite characters for a one-of-a-kind immersive experience.
At the central Warner Bros. Plaza, you can witness a majestic media show projected on the walls, the movie will take you back in time and introduce you to many magnificent heroes, hosted by none other than the infamous Bugs Bunny. It will showcase many iconic characters from the films of Warner Bros.
The Plaza is an elegant art deco celebration of all things Warner and the Golden Age of Hollywood. Wander the streets of the Plaza, admire the architecture, and choose somewhere to eat from the many dining options on offer. If you are lucky you will have plenty of your favorite characters for the company.
Step back in time as you enter Bedrock, a rocking land full of Stone Age family fun and adventure. Packed with iconic features from the legendary family favourite show, Bedrock gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal with all your favourite characters in the middle of their prehistoric town. Join in with lovable cave families The Flintstones and The Rubbles – Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Barney, Betty, and Bamm-Bamm – and characters Dino and Baby Puss as they go about their everyday lives.
You’ll fit right in at the agitated, muddled, colorful land that is Dynamite Gulch. This desert landscape is packed full of exciting adventures, animated pranks, and mad catastrophes that’ll keep every member of your family on their toes. Follow the rushing Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner on their epic hair-raising adventures, view with the fiery Yosemite Sam, check out who’s caused a dip with his Martian crash-landing, look out for The Jetsons.
An exciting, fanciful town is sure to bring out your fun side! Cartoon Junction joins all your favourite characters together under one cartoon sky, bringing them to life in an epic land of adventure. Cartoon Junction is the place for families with young children (toddlers up to about six). One of the soft-play areas is for one- to two-year-olds. Expect to see everyone from Tom and Jerry to Bugs Bunny and Scooby-Doo, in a land packed full of rides, attractions, and more.

Find all your favourite Gotham City characters from The Joker and Harley Quinn to Scarecrow in this dark, evil world brightened only by the Caped Crusader and his dedication to stopping the bad guys.
Enter the shiny urban landscape of the iconic city of Metropolis, silhouetted against the eternal sunset sky; modern, multicultural, safe. Home to reporters Clark Kent and Lois Lane, with the legendary Daily Planet at its centre, and of course protected against evil by Clark Kent’s secret alter ego, the one, and only Superman. Behold the royal skyline, revel in the heroic optimism of the man and his fellow heroes of the Justice League – including Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and The Flash – and be captivated by their brave, daring activities as they relentlessly crush any attempt to unsettle the steadiness in this mythical city.
