Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi

“The Natural History Museum is truly beyond amazing. From the moment I entered, I was in constant awe — every section made me stop and say “wow.” If you want to understand what happened to our Earth from the very beginning, this is an absolute must-visit. The museum takes you through the history of the planet in a deeply immersive way — from ancient rocks to dinosaurs and life forms that existed long before humans. One of the most impressive parts is the chance to see Lucy, the famous early human, along with many other incredible fossils. Seeing these discoveries up close is a powerful and unforgettable experience. There is also a fantastic interactive section for children, where they can engage with dinosaurs and learn in a fun, hands-on way, making it perfect for families as well. I honestly can’t fully describe this place in words — it’s one of those experiences you truly need to see for yourself. A big thank you to the Abu Dhabi government for giving us such a remarkable treasure in the city and the opportunity to experience it so closely. Plenty of free parking is available, which makes the visit even more convenient. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Absolutely amazing experience and a new must see in Abu Dhabi. It a brand new and spectacular Museum of natural History. FIRST of all, the building itself is stunning. Once you enter the lobby it already impressive because the hall is full of dinosaura skeletons. The Musuem is so spacious, you can visit the exhibition with ease and comfort. I must the in every room there is friendly staff always eager to explain or answer any questions. That’s super cool. The exhibition is fantastic. They have many dinosaura with a high rate of skeleton completeness including Stan! And what’s most intestesting you can see Lucy, the mother of humanity which is temporary in the exhibition. There are many interactive parts where you can learn and have fun. You can even watch archeologists at work!!!! At the end, don’t miss the cool gift shop in which you can buy cool souvenirs and the cafe where they serve stunning deserts! It is a must and worth see”

“Absolutely amazing. The sheer scale of the entrance with the dino exhibits is spectacular. The rest is also as impressive. For a young dino addicted toddler, this was heaven:) One of the most impressive aspects of the place is the actual architecture, some of the more detailed nature exhibits was beautiful, the level of attention to detail for the animals was the best I've seen also. The dino exhibit was obviously truly spectacular. The staff were amazing also. All in all an amazing day out with my son. Just one thing worth noting - go early, opening time, its gets busy quick. Also, be prepared for an airport style security check-in...which is a bit of a pain yo be honest having to take off belts, watches etc. Lastly (and nothing major by any means for sure), some soft ambient music would of been nice...the dead silence around most of the main areas is a bit strange.”

“Excellent place to bring your kids and family&friends having history and science interest. The whole building is beautifully constructed and gives you such a positive vibe. Staff is cooperative and super friendly as well. Museum has so much content and everything is displayed in interactive way. One improvement suggestion if management is reading: It is understandable that management dont allow visitors to take water bottles inside the museum, however there should be water dispensers or water tab fountains (like the one in Louvre museum). Its very inconvinient for visitors to roam around thirsty (specially kids) when there is so much to explore. Only option to drink water is to buy it from cafe which is at entrance and super expensive.”
