Planning a summer escape that doesn’t involve eye-rolls from the kids, budget breakdowns, or the dreaded “I’m bored” every 12 minutes? Yas Island has cracked the code—serving up a seriously jam-packed summer schedule where every member of the family (yes, even your picky teen or nap-loving toddler) will find something to rave about.
Here’s your fully loaded guide to the action. Ready? Let’s dive in:
Ferrari World: Where V12 Engines Become Theatre Stars
Imagine a theatre show… but instead of singing pirates or dancing cats, you get the birth of a Ferrari V12 engine. Welcome to “Officina Maranello”, the brand-new live show at Ferrari World Yas Island—on until August 31.
What’s it about?
You follow Dina, a brilliant engineer, and her crew of Ferrari fanatics as they go through all six stages of crafting an iconic Ferrari engine: from design to foundry to final testing. It’s loud, it’s sleek, it’s got grease and grit—and it’s surprisingly heartwarming.
Why go?
Because it’s not just a car show—it’s a full-on, family-friendly, theatrical experience that’ll have you appreciating car engines the same way you admire a fine piece of art.

Warner Bros. World: DC Super Hero Season is Back!
If the thought of Batman lurking in the shadows or Wonder Woman striking power poses makes your heart race, Warner Bros. World™ is the place to be.
Running until August 31, the DC Super Hero Season brings:
Flash mobs starring your fave heroes
Iconic character meet-and-greets
Pop-up performances around every corner
It’s immersive. It’s theatrical. It’s your chance to join the Justice League for a day (cape not required but highly encouraged).
