How to Reach Yas Island with Kids

One of the advantages of visiting Yas Island with kids is that it is very easy to reach. Yas Island is only 15 minutes away from Abu Dhabi International Airport, or 70 minutes away from Dubai International Airport. You can take a taxi, a bus, or a car to get to the island from either airport. Alternatively, you can also take a free shuttle bus from Dubai Mall of the Emirates that runs daily to Yas Island.

When to Visit Yas Island with Kids

Another thing to consider when planning your trip to Yas Island with kids is the best time of year to visit. While Yas Island is open all year round, the weather and the crowds can vary depending on the season. Generally speaking, the best time to visit Yas Island with kids is from November to February, when the temperature is cooler and more comfortable, ranging from 20°C to 30°C. This is also the peak season for tourism, so you can expect more events and festivities, but also more crowds and higher prices. If you want to avoid the crowds and save some money, you can also visit Yas Island with kids from March to May or from September to October, when the temperature is still pleasant, ranging from 25°C to 35°C. However, you should avoid visiting Yas Island with kids from June to August, when the temperature can soar up to 45°C, making it unbearable to enjoy the outdoor attractions and activities.
