The Lost Chambers, located on the Palm Jumeirah, is the No. 1 water park in the Middle East and even Europe, with over 42 acres of fun-filled aquatic activities for all ages. The Lost Chambers Aquarium, adjoining the waterpark, is home to over 65,000 marine animals, including the 4 and a half hectare Dolphin Bay, where guests can interact with dolphins, one of the most intelligent and charismatic marine animals. When travelling with your family, it is recommended that you find a hotel close to the Palm Jumeirah; hotel guests are often offered shuttle services to the waterpark, and even have the option of a short taxi ride there. A hotel we recommend in Dubai, The Palm Resort & Spa is within 10 minutes of the waterpark and aquarium.
The Lost Chambers aquarium centres around the theme of the lost city of Atlantis, with visitors able to explore the ruins and come in contact with the huge array of marine animals on display, including eels, seahorses, piranhas and even sharks. With underwater mazes, and tunnels, children and even adults are sure to have a blast exploring these areas. With over 20 exhibits, including a touch tank and the interactive Aquatheatre show, there isn’t a shortage of activities to keep you and your family busy.
The waterpark is no less entertaining, with waterslides that shoot you into through a shark filled lagoon, the world’s largest slide, or even the world’s first ‘slide within a slide’. Visitors even have the opportunity to try their hand on the largest zip line circuit in the Middle East. However if what you are looking for is relaxation, try the private beach surrounded by a lush tropical forest while the kids frolic at the Splashers children’s play area.
