It basically has its own Ecosystem inside. It is the only park in Abu Dhabi or in the UAE that you can actually go to and spend the rest of the whole day from morning till night and not get bored at all. Not only it is a "normal" park, but it is also a theme park. It has a Zoo, an outdoor cinema, a walkway with an artificial river, restaurants, fountains train ride for the little ones, a viewing deck, and a whole lot more. Calling it a park doesn't give it justice at all. You won't have a problem spending a whole day here, and a whole day for some people might also not be enough! Overall - it should be on your to-do list in the Emirate.
