With Eid Al Adha 2026 just around the corner (falling on Wednesday, May 27), and the summer heat already kicking in, Kuwaitis and expats alike are scouting for the best way to stay cool.
While the iconic “Aqua Park” was a staple for years, it has undergone a massive transformation. If you’re looking for the newest, most modern aquatic experience to hit the Kuwait City skyline, look no further than Bay Zero.
🌊 Dive Into Eid: Why Bay Zero is the Place to Be
Located right next to the famous Kuwait Towers on Arabian Gulf Street, Bay Zero is the revamped, state-of-the-art version of the old Aqua Park. Spanning over 60,000 square meters, it’s not just a park; it’s a “lifestyle amusement destination.”
🎢 Key Attractions for Your Eid Break

The Aloha Lagoon: A massive family-friendly area featuring waterfalls and relaxing vibes.

Adrenaline Slides: From high-speed drops to winding tunnels, there are enough thrills to keep the teens (and brave adults) busy all day.

🗓️ Important Eid Holiday Schedule
During the Eid period, the park typically operates on extended holiday hours.
-
Standard Hours: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
-
Ladies Day: Traditionally, Thursdays are reserved for Ladies Only.
-
Family Day: Fridays are usually strictly for families.
Note: Since Eid Al Adha starts on a Wednesday in 2026, expect the park to be at maximum capacity. We highly recommend arriving right at 10:00 AM to snag a shaded lounge chair!
🏖️ Another New Spot: Messilah Beach
If you want something a bit more laid back than a waterpark, the newly reopened Messilah Beach (next to the Jumeirah Hotel) is a fantastic alternative. Rebuilt from the ground up, it offers a 250-meter beachfront, infinity pools, and a “Trampo at the Beach” area. The best part? Entry is free, and you only pay for the specific activities or pool access you choose.
🎒 Quick Checklist for Your Visit
-
Swimwear: Only nylon/polyester is allowed (no cotton or denim).
-
Cashless: Bay Zero has moved toward a cashless system—use your card or load a wristband at the entrance.
-
Sunscreen: The Kuwaiti sun in May is no joke; reapply every 2 hours!
