The park is clean, peaceful, and well-maintained with plenty of green space and shaded areas. Entrance fee is only 2 AED, and the train ride costs around 10 AED for 2 pax. It’s perfect for walking, relaxing, BBQs, picnics, or simply unwinding with family and friends. Lots of parking is available, and the peaceful atmosphere with no noise makes it a refreshing and affordable place to visit. Definitely worth the visit.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 2 and up who want a full half-day outdoor visit. The splash park suits toddlers and primary-age children. The Maritime Museum adds educational value for school-age kids. Summer visits are most comfortable in the late afternoon when temperatures drop and shaded areas are more accessible.

ADQ'26. Held at Khalifa Park was a very entertaining family carvinal. Enough option for kids to play, games games to win, enough food options. ADQ companies showcased attractive activities for children with ample freebies. Ofcourse can't forget the open cinema experience. Overall great fun with family.

I went to the ADQ event with my Family. Paid 40 Aed per person for whole event that's a cool thing. But for the stalls inside they require kids to be present before giving the free item's And when I brought my 3 kids they give me only one piece And all the other families even get more than their family members count. That's very bad and rude behaviour
