Journey to Ferrari Park. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. Ferrari World Amusement Park What you can see here
Svetlana Parfenova
If you are a fan of speed and thrills, then you should definitely visit Ferrari World Abu Dhabi. This place will remain in memory for a long time, because it is the first theme park in the world dedicated to the legendary Italian brand Ferrari.Situated on Abu Dhabi's man-made Yas Island, it's a reason to visit in and of itself, plus this incredible complex spans 200,000 square meters and its sheer size puts Ferrari World at the top of the world's podium for parks. located indoors.
As you know, in the United Arab Emirates they like everything to be with a special chic. Here are the tallest buildings in the world, the most expensive cars, the most grandiose fountains. Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, as the world's largest indoor park, is not limited to the first place in terms of its size, it is also home to the fastest roller coaster, Formula Rossa, which has a maximum speed of 240 km / h, and it is reached in less than 5 seconds ( impressive, isn't it?). The length of the track is 2.2 km, and the shape of the attraction resembles the legendary Italian race track in the city of Monza.
By the way, the Ferrari logo, crowning the roof of the building, measures 65x48.5 meters and is the largest company logo ever created. The unusual roof design of the Ferrari World was developed by Benoy architects, who were inspired by this idea by looking at the double curvature of the side profile of the Ferrari GT. 12,370 tons of steel were used to support the roof, which has a 100-meter glazed funnel in the center. All other work on the construction, planning and design of the facade of the building was carried out under the strict guidance of Ramboll. The construction of the building lasted two years, from November 2008 to November 2010. The grand official opening of Ferrari World took place on November 4, 2010 and since then the park has been available all year round.
The location of the theme park is chosen so that it is convenient for both residents and guests of the UAE to get here. It is a 30-minute drive from the city of Abu Dhabi, you can get to Ferrari World by bus number 109. And the road from the international airport by car will take only 10 minutes. The park is open from 11:00 to 20:00, and the most popular days to visit are from Friday to Sunday, which is worth considering when planning your trip. Tickets to the park are divided into three categories, and it is better to purchase them in advance on the official website: http://www.ferrariworldabudhabi.com
Category 1 - bronze, provides unlimited access to attractions for the whole day. Price: adult ticket - 250 dirhams (about 5000 rubles), children (those whose height does not exceed 1m 30 cm) - 205 dirhams (4000 rubles). The price includes 5 dirhams for the purchase of souvenirs.
Category 2 - Silver, also provides access to the whole day, plus you can go through the fast-track line to the attractions three times. Price: adult ticket - 350 dirhams (6900 rubles) and children - 305 dirhams (6000 rubles). The price includes the purchase of a souvenir for 10 dirhams.
3 category - gold. For AED 500 (9800 RUB) you get unlimited access to all attractions, as well as unlimited passes in the fast lane and accommodation in more comfortable places. This ticket includes AED 15 for the purchase of souvenirs.
For children under the age of 3, admission to the park is free. Despite the fact that there may not be queues at the entrance, they are likely to be at the rides. So if you are limited in time, then it may be worth paying more for a "fast track". Each visitor receives a kind of map, which shows the scheme of the park and a list of "attractions".
We exaggerate when we write "attractions". No, no, of course, American racing and spaceshot ("free fall") await you here, which will lift you to a dizzying height of 62 meters from the ground, in order to then "fly" sharply down, but most of the park is exhibition stands depicting, For example, the Formula 1 paddock
or a gallery of parts and machines,
a virtual tour of the Ferrari factory in Maranello, allowing guests to get an insight into the design, assembly and testing of the Ferrari GT, a mini cinema, etc.
There are also racing simulators, a children's soft playground with miniature radio-controlled Ferraris, a 4D cinema, or a ride through an artificial water channel inside the Ferrari 599 engine. In total, there are 20 so-called "rides" in the park.
Scuderia Challenge is a racing simulator. You can feel like a Formula 1 driver, get into a racing car and race on the Yas Marina virtual circuit alone or with a group. Similar to the simulators used by Scuderia Ferrari drivers in training, this simulator immerses you completely in racing conditions.
Speed of Magic - 4D representation of the adventures of Nello racer boy, with whom you can fly along the rocks, find yourself in the heart of the jungle, experience the risk in ice caves and even at the bottom of the ocean. The sensation of extreme temperatures, moisture, light and movement creates the impression of a fantasy adventure. Thus, you can experience the "magic" of Ferrari and immerse yourself in an imaginary world with the whole family.
Driving with Champions is an interactive show that makes the dream of a Ferrari test pilot come true. Together with the driver, you will be able to experience step by step the path from GT racing to Formula 1. Drive through the high-speed corners of the Fiorano track and through the streets around Maranello. It's not every day you can ride with a racing legend.
Bell'Italia is an exhibition stand showing Italy's famous areas, buildings and racing venues. You can choose a Ferrari 250 California Spyder to ride the attraction or take a stroll down the 570m track.
Also throughout the park are presentation cars of different models of Ferrari.
In addition to the “attractions” themselves, shows are held in the Ferrari World park. Some will take you far into the past, to the 1920s, and show you the way to the dream of the creator of the Enzo Ferrari brand, others will allow you to plunge headlong into the world of Ferrari. Or, for example, a comedy show will show how funny the process of changing wheels at the pit stop can be.
When you enter Ferrari World for the first time, you won't be able to stop yourself from opening your mouth in amazement. Each car attracts to itself, literally saying to you “Take a picture with me!”
But there is also a huge store with paraphernalia and souvenirs, where they can make personalized souvenirs just for you and, of course, it takes time to navigate and figure out what sequence and where to go, so the main thing is not to forget to look at your watch. You definitely won’t be bored, and when you get hungry, you can look into one of the several restaurants presented here, of course, Italian ones. The food, of course, differs from that which is directly presented in Italy itself, but the overall flavor is observed. If you are faced with the choice of whether to go to Ferrari World, do not even hesitate: you need to visit this park, and most importantly - fully, without haste.
But I turned out to be a confusion and forgot my passport in the hotel room to rent a veil. So we decided that now we can spend more time in Ferrari World!
Decided, decided, but did not take into account that the park is huge and it is unrealistic to get around it in a few hours! So we did not go around the entire park and did not see everything. Will have to come back again
Let me remind you that we have a rental car, so we did not use complex combinations of different buses. By the way, a trip by car from Sharjah (the hotel was located near the central post office) cost us about 1,500 rubles (about $ 45) for two (car rental + gasoline). Entrance to the park cost 136 dollars for two, and our company offered a tour for 110 per person (travel + entrance). Firstly, more economically, and secondly - complete freedom of movement!
The very first obstacle at the entrance to "Ferrari World" began searching for parking. Having accidentally taxied into the parking lot of the neighboring Ikea, Vasya found some Indian who happily went to see us off to the park! He didn't show anything on his fingers or on the map, he told us to follow him and jumped into a brand new Lexus of the latest model.
Parking ferrari, as elsewhere in the cities of the emirates - this is a multi-level parking. There is a scoreboard above the traffic lane, which shows: red numbers - occupied places, green - free and blue - places for the disabled (and they are empty almost everywhere!) It is very convenient when looking for free places. Parking is free, and the exit from it is directly to the ticket office.
When you go to buy tickets, remember that they will let you in once and it will be oh so difficult to run "to the car for a jacket". Vasya did it, but with great difficulty. So it's better to take everything you need with you. Air conditioners cope with cooling just amazingly, so I, bony, froze even in a sweater. Don't worry about your cameras and bags. Firstly, some attractions have special booths, and secondly, no one needs your things. There is no theft in the country, besides, the laws in the emirates are harsh even for tourists, so few people want to contact the local police because of your junk.
Russian-speaking workers should be looked for in Ferrari World at the central counter and at the box office, although there is no special need for them - buy a ticket, take a card and go. The cost of a regular ticket is 250 dirhams per person. For children above 1.3 m., an adult is bought, and below this height, a children's ticket for 205 dirhams. VIP costs 450 dirhams and is only needed on weekends when the queues are really impressive. There is a 10%-15% discount (depending on dates) for early bookings on the website. The recommended clothing here is the same as everywhere else in the United Arab Emirates.
Ferrari World can be divided into an amusement park and a museum. The most important thing for which we came to Ferrari World- attraction Formula Rossa. The fastest American race in the world reaches a speed of 240 km in 5 seconds and is wildly popular among tourists. Even on a Tuesday afternoon there is a queue. While we were standing in it, several people refused to sit in the chair.
There is a separate line for the seats in front and most often it is not at all small! I persuaded Vasya to sit on the second row of seats and was very happy about this later
You leave cameras, handbags and other little things in a personal booth, because at such a speed you will not be able to shoot or hold something in your hands. All visitors are given special glasses so as not to clog their eyes with insects or dust at such a speed. The acceleration on the pneumatic roller coaster is such that you are pressed into the seat with incredible force. In order to not be so scary, my height allowed me to slide a little and thereby hide behind the back of the seat in front. By the way, those who are less than 140 cm or more than 195 cm tall, unfortunately, are not allowed to enter the attraction. At the entrance to the hall, there is a seat specially for this, by which you can measure whether they will let you go up the hill or not. You can buy photos of your emotions at the exit of the attraction. We did not do this, because it seemed sooo expensive (100 dirhams).
They say that Formula Rossa personally tested by pilots Ferrari and the loads you experience on the hill are the same as those of the pilots participating in the races Formula 1. Most of them, having swept once, immediately run to the second round, but we didn’t have enough time for this. At the expense of emotions ... it is rather difficult to describe them in words, but the phrase "what was it ?!" I can't say. For a minute of sensations of weightlessness, indentation into the seat and turbulence, the body goes crazy, but the food does not ask back, so you can repeat
The next breathtaking ride Ferrari World- Fiorano GT Challenge. Rollercoaster where two "engines" of cars race on two intertwining tracks Ferrari F430 Spider. Visitor height restrictions are exactly the same as on Formula Rossa, here you also need to put things in the booths and put on special glasses. Fiorano GT Challenge - ideal for those who are afraid of the main attraction Ferrari world. We got here after Formula Rossa and the impression is a bit blurred. After 240 km/h it seems that 95 km/h is a walk on a snail!
On the site Ferrari World in the "Thrill" section there is another adrenaline attraction - Scuderia Challenge- simulator of a real Ferrari racing car in which you race around the virtual Yas Marina race track. In this thing, you steer, press on the gas and brake pedals, feeling all the vibration from the steering wheel, shocks from colliding with other cars or barriers on the track, as well as jerks when automatically shifting the gearbox. You really shakes and throws up when you roll over on your virtual car! The three-point seat belt will of course keep you from flying out of the simulator. Height restrictions - minimum 130 cm
There are a lot of people who want to light up on the simulator, because racers really train on such a thing Formula 1! By the way, when you get behind the wheel of a simulator, you go to the track for some famous racer. Vasya, of course, arrived first (out of 5 cars) and chased who knows who (I used to like Formula 1, but this name was not so widely known then). I shamefully arrived penultimate, riding for Schumacher himself! There is an even more exotic version of the simulator - a real formula 1 car or racing ferrari. Here, of course, there is a separate additional fee, and recording for a certain time.
Virtual tour of Factory Ferrari - Made in Maranello- this is such a modern "engine", in which you sit down and, to the chic music, go for a ride through different halls with the scenery of a real factory, where cult Ferrari cars are assembled. It is allowed to shoot and take pictures here, in general, there are no restrictions here and it is very interesting!
In addition, there is: 4D adventure with a cartoon character Ferrari - Speed of Magic, race next to the champion on a movie simulator - Driving with the Champion, quiz game with prizes fast line, an attraction like our "Waltz", only it's not the shells that spin, but the tires - Tire Twist, a kind of flight over virtual Italy - Viaggio in Italy. AT Cinema Maranello scheduled screenings of a historical film set in the 1920 Cup of Sicily, where Enzo Anselmo ferrari, in the future, the founder of a world-famous car, lights up the dream of his life.
At the end of our walk through Ferrari World, we relaxed on a Ferrari 250 California (1985) through the most fabulous places in Italy - twenty times smaller copies of the Roman Colosseum, the Alps, Venice and, of course, Maranello! By the way, to the attraction Bell "Italia it is not necessary to go in and get into the car, you can walk along the paths between the food courts and see the same thing.
Ferrari replete with different cars of different years. They hang, spin, stand - they are everywhere! Ferrari Museum- This is a separate room where a few rare cars and ultra-modern cars are exhibited. Unfortunately, I skipped the museum, so I can’t tell you about it.
It seemed expensive to us at the food courts of the park, souvenirs were also very expensive and we didn’t bring anything from there. The fact that it is expensive here is nothing unusual! It's a Ferrari, not a Zhiguli!
From the park Ferrari World we left just before closing, so we didn’t manage to see a lot of what we wanted, but we decided that we would come back here again
Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi is the premier amusement park in the city! It is the world's largest indoor theme park and is home to the world's fastest roller coaster. Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi offers many interesting rides. The most popular of these is the Ross Formula, but other rides are also worth checking out.
Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi is an adventure world and a major theme park. Ferrari World is located on Yas Island in the UAE and has a total area of 25 hectares, of which 8 hectares are under the roof. This adventure world is the largest in the world. There are 20 attractions dedicated to fast driving.
Video about Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi
Ferrari and Aldar Properties PJSC announced in 2005 the creation of a theme park in Abu Dhabi. Construction began in November 2008, and the Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi opened on April 4, 2010.
Ferrari World is the first major theme park built by an automotive brand. There is still a smaller theme park at Maranello, headquarters of Ferrari. The Ferrari World design was created by the English architectural firm Benoy, with the engineering firm Ramboll leading the work. Ferrari Park offers visitors a full track, go-kart track and other attractions. There is also an overview of current and historical Ferrari products here. In addition, visitors can look forward to a theater and show complex, as well as special driving schools with racing programs.
A 62-meter free fall attraction called G-Force stands in the center of the building. The attraction, created by Huss Rides, pushes the "passenger" with great force. Anyone who is not afraid of free fall should take part in G-Force. From a height of 62 meters, you get an incredible view of Abu Dhabi.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi offers many fast moving rides such as the world's fastest roller coaster. The Ross formula accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and from 0 to 240 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Roller coaster-simulated Ferrari car models provide a top speed of 240 km/h. In this rollercoaster ride, passengers experience, above all, the high acceleration forces that Formula 1 is famous for.
If you don't feel like going that fast, then you can try the slightly more comfortable Fiorano GT Challenge rollercoaster. Many of the rides are aimed at young people and children because Ferrari expects them to be the buyers of the future. In the world of adventure Ferrari Park, of course, there are various restaurants and food stalls.
Formula 1
Next to Ferrari World is the Formula 1 circuit, where the first Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was held in 2009. The first race at the new track on Yas Island started on November 1st. If you want to drive this Formula 1 circuit, you must first visit the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi driving school. At this driving school, guests can first try their driving skills in a small F430 GT Spiders. Later, they will be able to ride on the "trial" track, and only after that they will be able to ride on the Formula 1 track in a miniature Ferrari car.
Attractions in the Ferrari Park
V12- an attraction that will allow you to see the famous 12-cylinder Ferrari engine from the inside. You'll drive over the pistons, past the cylinders, and through the differential, and out the exhaust pipe! Children with a height of more than 1.1 meters are allowed. Children between 1.1 and 1.4 meters tall must be accompanied by an adult.
Fiorano GT Challenge offers a ride on a copy of the Ferrari F430 Spider.
Ferrari World Abu Dhabi also offers a virtual tour of the factory and a driving simulator where you can feel like you're on the track. Of course, there is also a collection of Ferrari cars.
For parents with small children, strollers are available for rent. Ferrari Park Abu Dhabi also has an authentic Italian restaurant where you can enjoy fresh pasta or pizza. There are restaurants of other cuisines of the world and a souvenir shop.
Ferrari Park ticket price and opening hours
Ferrari World is located on Yas Island, next to the Formula 1 track. The opening hours of this amusement park are daily from 11:00 to 20:00. The ticket price for adults is 234 dirhams, and for children - 195 dirhams. But these are minimum prices, so don't be surprised if tickets end up costing more.
Note that it makes sense to book tickets on the Ferrari World website, as there are two advantages. The first is that you will not need to queue for a ticket at the entrance, and sometimes there is a rather long queue. The second advantage is that when booking, the prices when booking on the website are the lowest. In this case, there is an opportunity to save additional funds. For example, there is an online ticket for Ferrari World at the standard Bronze rate or a Park Pass (previously called the YAS Park Pass) with discounted entry to Yas Waterworld and Ferrari World. The cheapest online ticket for the Ferrari Park is currently (as of November 2017) AED 234 for adults and AED 195 for children up to 1.3 meters tall. True, such prices imply some conditions: a ticket is purchased at a "bronze" rate, you fix the date of the visit in advance and book the ticket at least 15 days before the planned visit. The cheapest Park Pass to visit the water park and Ferrari World costs AED 250 for adults and AED 212 for children. Thus, a ticket to two parks costs only marginally more than a ticket to Ferrari World alone. However, it should be noted that the cheapest combined ticket offered here entitles you to visit both parks on one day only. And here, too, it is important to choose a date and book a ticket at least 15 days in advance. If you want to buy a combined ticket for two parks, but visit them on different days, then you will need to pay a little more: 285 AED for adults and 242 AED for children. Interestingly, the terms and conditions state that dated tickets are valid 3 days before the selected date and 3 days after it.
Of course, it would be nice to visit 2 parks in one day. And it's not only about saving money, but also about the fact that you don't have to spend two days visiting the parks. In addition, many tourists come to Ferrari Park and Yas Waterworld from Dubai, Sharjah and other emirates of the UAE. Traveling to Abu Dhabi twice in this case will be expensive and tiring. So often the option of two parks in one day is optimal. But, on the one hand, you will have to carry your bathing suit with you in Ferrari World, and on the other hand, you will need to watch the clock in the water park, where you would probably like to relax. The fact is that the water park opens earlier, and often tourists first go here, and then go to the Ferrari Park.
VIP tickets to Ferrari Park
Premium tickets are also always on sale. With these tickets, you can skip the line to any attraction thanks to the Fast Pass status. In addition, you will also receive a souvenir voucher. Tickets in this category are called "Silver" and "Gold" tickets. They differ in how often the Fast Pass can be used and the value of the souvenir voucher.
Based on my own experience, I can say that this extra expense is not worth it, since we almost never queued anywhere. It is possible that on some days there are really a lot of people here, but we were on Saturday, and this is a day off. But some tourists stated that they had to stand in lines even on a weekday. In general, draw your own conclusions.
Additional payments
It is important to know that not all Ferrari World rides are included in the ticket price. For some attractions, you need to pay an additional fee on the spot. Probably, it would still be worth making such a ticket that would include absolutely all the rides. The cheapest ticket to an amusement park in Abu Dhabi is already relatively expensive, and you still need to pay extra for some attractions. In addition, some "free" attractions sometimes do not work for unknown reasons. Limited entertainment also occurs on certain public holidays.
We advise you to use your ticket to the maximum. After the rides, let yourself be carried away by the funny 4D worlds or make your way through Italy's man-made landscape and travel back in time. Take a look at vintage and modern cars on display and enjoy the pleasant coolness and stunning architecture of Ferrari World.
In any case, Ferrari Park deserves at least one visit, because it is a landmark not only of Abu Dhabi, but of the entire UAE.
Photo Ferrari park
Agree, every modern person would like to stay young as long as possible. And not to seem or look like, but to feel like a teenager in something, enjoy the little things, make big and small discoveries and laugh fervently, even without having a significant reason for this.
Unfortunately, the time machine has not yet been invented, and such discoveries are not expected in the near future. But not everything is as sad and hopeless as it might seem at first glance. There is definitely a way out. Do you want to feel like a child again? Then head to Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi.
Let's try to tell about this place in as much detail as possible. It really deserves special attention. We guarantee that the day spent here will definitely become one of the highlights of the long-awaited vacation.
Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi. general information
The world-famous and popular Ferrari World Abu Dhabi complex, which means “Ferrari World” in Russian, is the largest sightseeing and entertainment park in the world dedicated to a specific topic - cars of the famous Ferrari brand. Its territory allows both adults and children to plunge headlong into the fascinating world
If any country in the world has not yet lost its ability to surprise, it is the United Arab Emirates. "Ferrari Park", which is located in close proximity to the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, is another confirmation of this.
The road to Yas Island takes only 10 minutes. in the event that the traveler decides to go there directly from the airport, and about an hour from the Circuit.
Territory: the scale is impressive
An excursion to the Ferrari Park, as a rule, appeals to both adults and young travelers.
The total area of the institution is about 435 thousand square meters. m. of magnificent landscape, but it should be noted that 96 thousand square meters. m. occupied by indoor premises. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the streamlined red roof, which has an area of 201,000 sq.m. and built in the form of 3 petals, each of which is a repetition of the classic lines of the legendary GT.
It should be noted that so much aluminum was used for the manufacture of the roof that it would be enough to create 16,750. The decoration of the upper part of the building is considered the largest trademark logo. Similar in the world of "Ferrari" simply does not exist!
Hello future!
The Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi is fraught with many surprises that are not only breathtaking, but also imaginative. For example, during the construction of the foundation in 2007, a “time capsule” was laid, containing the piston and connecting rod from the F1 Ferrari car, which became the champion in 2007. The capsule is scheduled to arrive on Ferrari's 100th anniversary in 2047.
By the way, for the first time the Ferrari Park in Abu Dhabi opened its doors to visitors in mid-2010.
What is the pride of the country today
It is hard to imagine that at the moment there are more than 20 sights and original attractions in the park, a large number of shops, several restaurants mainly with local or European cuisine.
You can spend quite a long time here. The cost of a ticket to the Ferrari Park is quite moderate. It depends on the category of the tourist, on the length of stay and, oddly enough, on the time of year. On average, it is 65-100 US dollars. Of course, a lot of money, but, according to those who have already been there, they justify themselves.
Ooh, I'm rolling! or Pledge of an unforgettable vacation
On the territory of the park there is a huge number of attractions that may interest both a child and an adult.
Ferrari World presents a variety of simulators used to train real modern racers. In addition, you can take an entertaining trip to the Ferrari factory or to the heart of the legendary car - the Ferrari 599 engine, a sightseeing flight over the outskirts of Italy, or visit a gallery dedicated exclusively to this car brand.
For strong-willed men and women
The most popular ride in the park is the fastest American race in the world, 2.07 km long. Sharp twists and turns are guaranteed for everyone.
The trailers, made in the form of red Ferrari F1 cars, pick up speed to 100 km / h in less than 2 seconds. You won’t even have time to blink an eye, as they say, and they are already rushing you at a speed of about 240 km / h. Cool, what can I say!
Before the start of the race on the launch pad, each participant is issued with which they can protect their eyes from the powerful air currents formed during the movement. By the way, it should be noted that the trailers start with a force of about 20,800 hp. and rise to a height of about 52 m in 4-5 seconds, and all thanks to the use of systems at the start that resemble those used to launch jet aircraft.
Feel like a real king of the track
An equally popular attraction is the Fiorano GT Challenge, where almost anyone can try their hand and compete with other "racers" rushing in parallel in wagons resembling a Ferrari F430 Spider to the finish line.
During sharp accelerations and on sharp turns, the competitors experience an unforgettable experience. In each race, of course, the winner is determined.
Dedicated to curious visitors
Those who, for some reason, do not intend to visit the attractions on this particular day, can go to the Ferrari Gallery, located outside Maranello. Shown here is the entire history of Ferrari, from 1947 to today.
Here you can almost always meet crowds of people with cameras and cameras. Why? Everything is explained very simply: what you see around is so amazing that there will certainly be a burning desire to capture what is happening in memory. It is not surprising that photographs with the inscription: “Dubai, Ferrari Park” are photographs that annually become a real decoration of the family archive of many, many travelers.
Modern technologies are an important component of the park
The multimedia screen provides an opportunity for gallery visitors to meet the racers, dreamers, creators and engineers who made the Ferrari name recognizable throughout the world and, one might say, a real icon of the automotive industry's trademarks.
Also in the gallery are films, artifacts and documents that are related to the creation and history of Ferrari.
UAE, Ferrari Park: inside view of production
It is also quite interesting to visit the Made in Maranello attraction, since it is it that allows you to be directly inside the Ferrari factory and see with your own eyes and find out how complex and exciting the process of creating a Ferrari GT is.
At the same time, it is quite possible to trace the entire process of creating a car: design development, casting of molten aluminum, engine assembly, painting, final hand assembly, as well as testing cars on the famous Maranello track - all this happens before your eyes.
Attractions for the little ones
Kids are likely to be attracted by the interactive playground Junior Training Camp, the name of which, translated into Russian, sounds very symbolic: "Children's Training Camp".
Here they can try to wash their own car without water, feel like a designer or an engineer, drive their own small copy of a Ferrari, control cars with a remote control, and so on.
Prices and opening hours
When entering the park, you should pay attention to important information about the cost of tickets. Agree that we are all used to the fact that prices in most cases are divided into children's and adults. Here, everything depends on the height of the visitor to the park: guests are divided into 2 categories - below and above 150 cm. And based on this, the possibility of visiting certain attractions (for “small” or “large”) is determined.
The cost of a regular excursion with the opportunity to inspect the territory and sites for a person below 1.5 m will cost about 45-46 US dollars, for a taller person - 62 US dollars, and for a child whose height is less than 1 meter, you do not need to pay at all.
The park is open to visitors 6 days a week, from 12:00 to 22:00 local time. The day off is Monday.
Going on vacation in the UAE, be sure to stop in Abu Dhabi. "Ferrari Park" (the photos presented in the article allow you to appreciate the magnificence of the entertainment complex) will not leave indifferent any adult, not to mention children! Do not forget to take your camera with you: looking through wonderful pictures later, you will not regret the money spent.
It should be noted that when visiting certain attractions, tourists are poured with plenty of water. Get ready for "water procedures".
On the territory of the Ferrari World park there is a huge number of shops offering a large selection of souvenirs, as well as products with the Ferrari logo. Of the clothes, polos, sweaters, T-shirts, jackets and T-shirts are the most popular. In addition, here you can buy interesting bags, watches, towels, mugs and even bed linen.
The indoor theme park Ferrari World is the attraction that invariably attracts tourists to the UAE, namely to their capital, the emirate called Abu Dhabi. There, on the artificially created island of Yas (Yas Island), well-known to temperamental motorists and just lovers to tickle their nerves, watching the crazy races of sports cars, the Ferrari World park is located. This spectacle is simply breathtaking. Trust me, you've never seen anything like it! The scale and shape of the construction are amazing, which, however, is typical for the Emirates living on a "big foot".
A little information
Ferrari World opened on October 27, 2010. It has a very convenient location: only half an hour from the center of Abu Dhabi, 50 minutes from Dubai Marina. Quite quickly, the park can be reached from three airports: 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi, 1.5 hours from Dubai airport, 2 hours from Sharjah.
The Ferrari Theme Park is the world's largest indoor park, covering more than 86,000 square meters, which can be compared to about seven football fields. The height of the complex is 45 meters, and on its roof is the largest logo of the Ferrari brand.
Amazing rides at Ferrari World
The main element of the Ferrari World theme park is a giant glass tunnel. It is in it that all the numerous attractions of the park are located. One of the most popular rides among visitors is, of course, a Formula 1 race simulator.
Here, everyone who has always dreamed of being in the place of racers can make their dream come true by choosing one of twenty types of racing attractions. Well, those thrill-seekers who want to feel as much adrenaline in their blood as possible should definitely visit the central tower of Ferrari World. It is in it that the G-Force attraction is located - daredevils climb into the capsule, and through the roof of 48 meters it shoots to a height of 62 meters.
However, the undoubted "pearl" of the park can be considered a roller coaster called "Formula Rossa". They are considered the fastest slides in the world, their maximum speed is up to 240 km/h.

Children's corner at the Ferrari Amusement Park
It is noteworthy that the park also did not forget to take care of the smallest visitors. For children, Ferrari carousels are installed here, and there are also many different themed toys.
For older children, Ferrari World has set up a specialized track where a professional instructor will tell children about driving theory and teach them how to drive a car. Now they will be able to feel like real drivers, as well as ... "try on" the role of a car washer or a constructor.
Cafes and restaurants in Ferrari Park
It's hard not to get hungry in a theme park because it's so huge that it can take all day to walk around it, and extreme rides will take all your strength. Therefore, there is hardly a person who refuses to eat in one of the restaurants provided by the park - Trattoria, Mamma Rossella or Cavallino.
