"Recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest water park, Aquaventure at Atlantis on the Palm Jumeirah features more than 105 slides and attractions ranging from family-friendly Splashers Zones to hair-raising rides like the Blackout and the terrifying Poseidon’s Revenge." - Nicola Chilton
"Part of a massive resort with more than 100 slides across three towers, the Poseidon's Revenge ride places riders in an enclosed capsule with a trapdoor drop that accelerates to about 37 miles per hour; it includes paired slides so friends can race side by side." - Cailey Rizzo Cailey Rizzo Cailey Rizzo is a contributing writer for Travel + Leisure.

"The world’s largest waterpark that has trained staff in autism awareness and recognition and has rated the sensory intensity of each waterslide and attraction so families can choose experiences appropriate to their child’s tolerance for stimulation." - Lisa Kadane
"Now considered the world’s largest waterpark thanks to its recent extension, the venue has expanded by a third. Trident Tower, its newest arm, features the largest kids-only waterparks in the Middle East—Splashers Lagoon and Splashers Cove. Aquaventure contains more than 30 slides and attractions, including the emirates' longest lazy river, some thrilling rides (including the Leap of Faith and Poseidon's Retreat), and a private beach. There are also record-breaking waterslides to get the adrenaline pumping; Splashers Park and the Lazy River for families; and opportunities that encourage up-close-and-personal interactions with stingrays, dolphins, and sea lions." - Maresa Manara
"A sprawling, family-focused waterpark designed to entertain children and guests, presented as the resort’s major kid-amuser attraction." - Matthew Phenix
