Dubai Fountain Experiences

Closer fountain viewing from the Boardwalk or a boat ride on Burj Lake.

  • Depends on the Boardwalk or Lake Ride slot
  • Meeting point (venue admission)
  • Downtown Dubai

Overview

Get closer to one of Downtown Dubai's best-known waterfront sights with a Fountain Boardwalk visit or a Fountain Lake Ride. Walk onto the floating viewing platform for a close perspective of the fountain area, or take a traditional abra across Burj Lake with views of Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar. Choose the experience you prefer; each option gives you a different way to enjoy the setting around the Dubai Fountain.

Good to know

  • The two options are separate experiences: Boardwalk admission does not include an abra ride, and a Lake Ride ticket does not include Boardwalk admission.
  • Collect your attraction ticket from the At the Top main counter on the Lower Ground level of Dubai Mall before proceeding to the experience. Carry a printed ticket and booking confirmation, and follow the redemption instructions on your voucher.
  • Arrive at least 30 minutes before your booked experience to allow time for ticket collection and the walk to the meeting point. Late arrivals and no-shows are non-refundable.
  • Children under 4 are not permitted on the Boardwalk. For the Lake Ride, children aged 0–3 enter free and must be included in the booking with an accompanying adult.
  • Guests under 16 must be accompanied by a guest aged 16 or above. A parental consent form is required for children under 16. Select at least one adult ticket when booking for children or infants.
  • The Lake Ride generally lasts around 20–30 minutes, depending on operations. Follow the boat team's seating and safety instructions throughout the ride.
  • Fountain performances may change or be suspended independently of Boardwalk or Lake Ride operations. A particular show or uninterrupted fountain performance is not guaranteed.
  • The experience may temporarily close in severe weather. Weather-related closure does not qualify for a refund under these ticket terms.
