Wow, what a beautiful palace! This was simply stunning and a must-see for visitors to Abu Dhabi. The check-in and shuttle processes were seamless, parking was easy, and then we were able to roam and take photos to our heart's content. The different exhbitis were informative, and we really enjoyed the offerings at the onsite cafe. The palace was never too busy with other visitors, making it a stress-free visit. And, the tickets are very reasonably-priced. A favorite!

The palace is a marvelous and awe-inspiring work of art, architecture and engineering. Being an engineer myself, I could envisage the kind of attention, dedication and detailing gone into all the intricate marble inlay works and carvings. The guest entry is seamless and managed properly. Detailed descriptions are provided at locations. It's a must see destination for all who visit Abudhabi.

    The venue is breathtaking and speaks volumes about the wealth and power that the UAE and its government has developed in the modern era and its commitment to make it sustainable and accessible to its citizens and supporters. The light show was also fascinating and inspiring. The overall logistics and support to visitors was one of a kind. A few suggestions: the lights left on in the seating area outside the palace during the light show are unnecessary; we visited on a day that was not very crowded, and still many people had to find their way to sit on the floor or stay standing during the show, which remains inconvenient for such as high-profile venue - either additional steps (perhaps coming out of the ground just for the show) will go a long way for everyone, and it shows that our UAE leaders also care about their citizens and visitors.

    The overall experience was one of a kind. Me and my daughter had a great time witnessing some of the most prehistoric animals we could see. We were able to expand our knowledge and most importantly learn oh how to protect our environment in the best possible way.
