We really enjoyed our visit to the Natural History Museum in Abu Dhabi. It’s a great spot for families, especially with kids. There are a few small games and simple activities inside that keep them interested instead of just walking and looking at displays. The location is also very convenient — it’s on Saadiyat Island, right next to TeamLab Phenomena, so you can easily plan both in the same outing. We spent about 2 to 3 hours there without rushing. Overall, a relaxed, enjoyable experience and a nice way to spend time with the kids.

The newly opened Natural History Museum in Abu Dhabi is another incredible addition to Saadiyat Island, truly the cultural heart of the city. The museum is filled with fascinating displays, from original meteorites you can actually touch, to the 3.2 million year old remains of Lucy, an early human ancestral species. The wax statues and the two remarkably complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons are absolutely stunning. The museum takes you through the full story of Earth, from its creation 13.8 billion years ago to today, with interactive sections and beautifully curated exhibits. Don’t miss the “Earth Story” movie in the theatre, it’s ticketed separately and runs every 30 minutes, and is well worth it. A must visit destination for children’s education and equally engaging for adults, whether you love history, geology, archaeology, or dinosaurs. This museum truly caters to all and is a fantastic experience for everyone. Highly recommended!

An absolutely grand experience. The new Natural History Museum is simply impeccable—the architecture and the environments truly leave you breathless. Every hall is curated to perfection, making the visit a visual masterpiece from start to finish. A special tip: I highly recommend buying the separate ticket for the introductory "Cinema" experience. It is a bit short, perhaps shorter than I expected, but it is visually stunning and totally worth seeing to set the mood for the rest of the tour. Overall, a world-class addition to Abu Dhabi’s cultural district. Highly recommended.

The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi is a stunning, inspiring place that brings the story of our planet to life in a way that is both educational and unforgettable. The exhibits are impressive, but what truly stood out was the human experience behind them. I want to give special recognition to Nouf, who turned a great visit into an extraordinary one. She wasn’t just knowledgeable — she was passionate, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure we understood and enjoyed every part of the museum. Her ability to explain, connect, and guide with warmth and confidence reflects someone who deeply believes in her work. Every organization dreams of people like her — professional, sincere, and naturally gifted in guest experience. I would also like to thank Salman and Mouza, who were warm, courteous, and supportive throughout our visit. Their friendliness and positive presence contributed to an atmosphere that felt welcoming and memorable. I highly recommend visiting this museum — and if you’re lucky enough to meet Nouf, Salman, and Mouza, your experience will be even more exceptional.

A truly remarkable destination that blends outstanding architecture with exceptional scientific exhibits. From the moment you enter, you immediately notice the impressive design, the spaces, and the smooth flow of movement throughout the museum. The layout feels mixture of modern and ancient, welcoming, and thoughtfully planned, allowing visitors to explore comfortably and without congestion. What truly elevates the museum is its extraordinary collection. It features some of the rarest and most precious objects found on Earth, including meteorites, ancient fossils, and full dinosaur skeletons. Each exhibit is displayed with great care, supported by clear explanations that connect visitors to the deep history of our planet and the universe. I highly recommend to anyone visiting the UAE.

This is probably one of the best museums in the UAE I’ve ever been to. I truly enjoyed it and would come back again. I love the details and the concept, where one can navigate from the beginning to different periods, humans taking over, and the final message of taking care of our environment. This really impacts us and reminds us how we should value the environment. Amazing staff who are very accommodating with every question and just pleasant overall. Don’t forget to go to the waterfront as it’s an additional treat. Also make sure to go to the Nayzak the cafe within the museum and by the waterfront. They have a really good Spanish Latte and food as well.
