Hello everyone, I loved visiting this museum, it is very large and interesting! I recommend it if you ever don't know what to do in Abu Dhabi, and in terms of value for money, it's really worth it! Too crowded during the visits, though, but it's manageable. The LEGO exhibition is also well done and included in the price, but it's temporary, so definitely check it out too (it's geared more toward kids, though)!

I was able to receive the tickets in real-time through the Headout app. That was super convenient. The experience at the the museum itself was stellar. The staff were super considerate. My toddler who is a fan of dinos and animals really enjoyed all the exhibits - especially the T Rex one. The Lego play area was the icing on the cake.

The museum was quite busy when we went on a weekend in September. We had to park in an overflow car park but the shuttle bus was efficient. The museum itself is well designed with good exhibits and a nice restaurant. I would go back.

The entry did not go smoothly as there had been problems with both the barcode provided and the app. But a quick call and the subsequent response had been quick, and we did get to enjoy the day. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed talking in particular to one staff from "The Story of Earth", who spoke with us in detail about the origins, including the moon and space artifacts. The dinosaur displays were awesome, and the hunt for hidden tardigrades was very interesting.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Natural History Museum in Abu Dhabi. The entry process was smooth and easy. The interiors were calm and relaxing. The displays were well placed and there were interactive stations which were very interesting and informative. Our time was well spent there and we did not realize that we had spent quite a few hours in the museum. We are looking forward to going back with our grandchildren
