Sleep under the sharks this summer
If your child’s bedroom is filled with sharks, dolphins and ocean-themed décor, this is the ultimate dream come true.
For one thrilling night this summer, SeaWorld Yas Island, Abu Dhabi is transforming into the ultimate sleepover destination, giving children the chance to roll out their sleeping bags beneath one of the park’s most breathtaking exhibits while discovering the incredible secrets of the ocean after dark.
Taking place on Friday, 18 July, the Electric Ocean Festival Sleepover promises far more than your average overnight stay.
Designed for children aged 7 to 12, the experience combines hands-on learning, creative activities and an unforgettable night surrounded by the wonders of the sea.
The adventure unfolds inside Endless Ocean, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s awe-inspiring marine habitat, where the shimmering blues and deep indigos create the perfect backdrop for an evening inspired by one of nature’s most fascinating phenomena-bioluminescence.
Children will discover how some of the ocean’s most remarkable creatures create their own light to survive beneath the waves.
Through interactive activities, they’ll learn how marine animals use bioluminescence to communicate, attract food, navigate the darkness and protect themselves from predators, bringing marine science to life in a fun and engaging way.
But it’s not all about learning. The overnight programme is packed with activities designed to keep young adventurers entertained from start to finish.
They’ll test their knowledge with games exploring the different layers of the ocean, decorate their own glow-in-the-dark pillowcases to take home as a keepsake and even enjoy themed treats, including delicious fish-shaped cookies.
Few experiences can rival the excitement of settling down to sleep while surrounded by the mesmerising sights of marine life.
It’s a unique opportunity to experience SeaWorld Abu Dhabi from a completely different perspective, long after the daytime crowds have gone home.
The sleepover runs from 5.30pm on Friday until 9.45am the following morning, giving children a full evening of activities before waking up to breakfast inside one of Abu Dhabi’s most unique attractions.
Dinner and breakfast are both included, making it a hassle-free experience for parents and an unforgettable adventure for young guests.
So, if your child is fascinated by sharks, rays, colourful fish or simply loves discovering how the natural world works, the Electric Ocean Festival Sleepover offers a memorable blend of education, imagination and adventure.
It’s the kind of summer memory they’ll be talking about long after the sleeping bags have been packed away.
Spaces are expected to fill quickly, and this is one summer experience you’ll want to book sooner rather than later.
