Ferrari World introduces a dedicated family day

Little ones have a need for speed? Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is introducing a dedicated family day with loads of thrilling activities laid on for kids.

Every Friday between January 15 and February 25, the Yas Island theme park will be welcoming the whole crew for a fun day out.

Tiny tots with little legs that get tired easily, can take the weight off and whizz around in a Ferrari-themed push cart, while older kiddos can head to the park’s Family Zone where four cool rides will keep them entertained for hours.

At the Family Zone little ones will be able experience scaled-down versions of the park’s most popular attractions and rides with the opening of Turbo Tower, Speedway Race, Flying Wings and Formula Rossa Jr.

A DJ will also take to the decks to spin the records and play some top tunes, while mums and dads challenge the kiddos to some giant human-sized board games (snakes and ladders has never looked so terrifying!).

The new pizza eatery, Mamma Rossella, will be serving up bite-sized treats and family combo meals to fill little tummies. There is even a Nutella dessert pizza for those who have been particularly well-behaved.

And although we were taught never to play with our food, there is an option to play a cookies and crosses game, essentially an edible version of noughts and crosses.

Alternatively you can head to Espresso Rosso for a special family gelato party platter.

As an added bonus, families can take advantage of the special family and friends offer, which means they get four tickets at the price of three and 25 percent off any additional single day tickets starting from Dhs885.

Or, you can opt for the New Year offer, where you pay Dhs310, which gives you entry to Ferrari World and Warner Bros. World as well.

Weekends in the capital are looking turbo-charged for the whole fam!
From Dhs855 (family of four). Tue-Sat noon-8pm, Jan 15-Feb 25. Yas Island Abu Dhabi, www.ferrariworldabudhabi.com.
