Great experience visiting Louvre Abu Dhabi with kids! The museum is engaging for all ages, and the children especially enjoyed the interactive exhibits. There’s also a fun app and digital games designed for kids, which made the visit even more enjoyable and educational. Highly recommended for families!

Easy booking. Clear terms. Received a WhatsApp message with all details post booking :). TeamLab Phenomena is absolutely out of this world, such a unique experience. It's mesmerizing! My teens and I loved every minute. We were free to roam, enter/exit any exhibit as we please so we spent about 3 hours there. Since I visited during Eid weekend, there were some long queues for certain exhibits and I did not get to see one of the best ones which is the foam exhibit as there was a waiting time of 2 hours :(. But will definitely visit again when it's less crowded.
