Okay, this one’s for all the parents out there who are always on the lookout for something different to do with the kids this summer (and honestly, this might be one of the coolest family activities I’ve seen in a while). SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi is hosting its biggest-ever sleepover this June. And by biggest, I mean an actual overnight adventure, sleeping inside the park, surrounded by incredible marine life. If your kids are aged 7-12, then get ready to officially become the bestest parents ever (you’re welcome in advance for winning major aura points with them). Free up space on your calendar from Saturday, June 21 to Sunday, June 22 because this is one slumber party you won’t want to say no to. I have all the incredible details you need to know, so keep reading to find out more.

Ever seen Night At The Museum? Well, it’s not exactly like that but I’m glad you’ve seen the movie. Once the park closes to the public at 6pm, SeaWorld will basically turn into your family’s private playground! No crowds, just you, your kids, and the dedicated sleepover crew leading you through the whole thing. You’ll join SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s amazing Zoological Education team for guided adventures where you’ll learn fascinating marine life facts (I’m talking real WOW moments), meet fun ocean-themed characters, get crafty with creative activities, and play loads of games.
Oh, did I mention you’ll also get a sneak preview of SeaWorld’s upcoming Electric Ocean Festival? Talk about being in the know before it’s known! And then when nighttime sets in you’re going to roll out your sleeping bags in special underwater viewing spots, literally falling asleep surrounded by marine life. I don’t think any bedtime story could top that.
Later in the evening, you’ll all sit down for a chilled-out dinner right by the beautiful One Ocean globe. It’s pretty dreamy, to be honest. Then, when you wake up in the morning, you’ll have a relaxed breakfast before heading home around 9am, full of stories your kids will be telling EVERYONE at school.
Here’s the breakdown:
And yes, dinner (hello, pizza!) and breakfast are all included, plus all the fun stuff in between!
And guess what? All this fun comes with zero guilt. This whole experience is part of their “Admission with a Mission” project, which means every visit supports marine life conservation through the Yas SeaWorld Research & Rescue Center. Fun for the family, and you’re helping the planet too? Now that’s what you call a Win-Win!
I love how out of the ordinary this is, but that also means this is one of those things that sell out FAST (and with good reason, too). Imagine telling your kids they get to sleep alongside sharks, stingrays, and all sorts of their favourite fish. If this sounds like your kids dream adventure, book your spots now.
