A truly state of the art museum and one of the best attractions in Abu Dhabi. The building itself is beautiful inside and outmodern, clean, creative, and exceptionally well designed. The museum offers fascinating journeys through natural history with spacious halls, immersive exhibits, impressive 3D animations, and incredible fossil and skeleton displays dating back millions of years. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to share information, which adds to the overall experience. The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5 stars is that I believe it would benefit from offering private guided tours for families and children. While the staff are informative, having a dedicated personal guide to walk visitors through the museum and explain the exhibits in greater detail would make the experience even more engaging and memorable. Highly recommended for families, kids, and anyone interested in history, science, and nature. Definitely worth a visit.Read More

The museum is absolutely breathtaking and so well organised. Right from the minute we entered the gates till the end of the display - it was truly a lot to take in. This place is made for children and adults alike. If you have an open mind you'll find this particularly interesting. There were many displays right from the formation of the earth, its core to how countries came to being over the millions of years. I truly enjoyed the dinosaurs display which was so eloquently made - Kudos to the team for such effort and time to explain every detail. The staff are very kind and friendly always ready to help at a moment's notice. P.s they will also show you the best places to take pictures if you enquire with them. There displays of rocks, dinosaurs, animals, animals from different era both land, sea and air. The blue whale skeleton is truly breathe taking indeed. I can't divulge a lot of information about the museum but what I can tell you is that its worth the price of entry and they have discounted prices for certain applications so do enquire with the staff. There are also mementos available if you'd like to buy some for memories sake - All in all the entire experience takes close to 3-4 hours and its time and money we'll spent. Kindly note parking is an issue so do make necessary arrangements to wait in the lot until someone is on their way out. Until next time stay curious stay hungry !!!!Read More

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi. The museum is beautifully designed and takes you on an incredible journey through the history of our universe and life on Earth. My favorite parts were the dinosaur fossils, meteorites, and learning about Lucy a fossilized skeleton of an Australopithecus afarensis discovered in Ethiopia—it was fascinating and I learned so much. What made the visit even more special was our educator, Saif. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, explaining every exhibit in a way that was easy to understand and really engaging. His enthusiasm made the whole tour much more enjoyable. I highly recommend visiting the museum, and if you get the chance to join a tour with Saif, don’t miss it. It was a truly memorable experience!Read More
