Hi

i was wondering where is best for a holiday with a 4 and 8 year old please?

Yas island Abu Dhabi and staying at Warner bros hotel and visiting the water park, Ferrari world, Warner bros and aquarium with a trip out to the mosque, Louvre and etihad towers? Hopefully doing a day trip to Dubai too?

or staying at lapita in Dubai, which would give us easy access to Legoland, motiongate and legoland water park? However my worry is we’re so far out here and it would be hard to go in to Dubai or even to Abu Dhabi. I don’t like getting taxis in prefer planned day trips with coaches that pick up from hotels or nearby hotels. Ideally we’d like to stay at lapita and take a day trip in to Dubai, Abu Dhabi Warner bros world and Abu Dhabi mosque but it seems that nowhere picks up from the lapita park and resort therefore feel it may be easier to stay at Warner bros Abu Dhabi and aim to venture in to Dubai at least.once or even try get to Legoland and motion gate from Yas island. But I’m struggling to find planned day trips to do this.

overall if we can’t travel too far from the hotel I feel like yas island has more to offer than lapita park in Dubai and may have to look at two seperate holidays. Or a spanner in the works would staying in Dubai itself be easier to explore everything we’d like?

I’ve seen bad reviews for motiongate and Legoland that things are always closed, rides breaking down and young children can’t ride anything so if anyone has any experience with young children that would be great.

we are going in February and also worried in case we cross over with Ramadan or that it could be a little chilly in feb for water parks? I’d love to experience Ramadan but never travelled during this time and don’t want things to be closed or limited as the kids will not understand this much at their ages.

we also would really like to visit a beach on one day of our stay.

thanks

@UniqueShaker Lapita offers a shuttle bus to Dubai everyday at 10am and returns at 4pm. When we stayed in Lapita in October 23, our children couldn't complete all activities in Legoland, Motiongate and Legoland Waterpark. In the 6 days that we spent, the kids were also not interested in Dubai city to be honest.
