#We made a last‑minute decision to visit the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi, and it turned out to be such a great choice. To skip the long queue, we bought our tickets online through Abu Dhabi Tickets/Headout — and to my surprise, they offered discounts! The tickets were much cheaper than buying them at the counter, which was a huge saving for a family of six. The National Aquarium is a fantastic place for both kids and kids at heart. Aside from the impressive variety of sea creatures, they also have a capybara (which my daughter loves), birds, and reptiles in their mini Forest section. There is also an interactive activities that is very entertaining. Our kids had the best time exploring everything. It was truly a memorable day for all of us.

What made my visit stand out was how seamlessly the museum connects Sheikh Zayed’s life and values with the story of the UAE. The combination of iconic architecture, well-curated exhibits, and immersive storytelling created a meaningful and reflective experience rather than just a standard museum visit.

We were amazed by the architecture design of the museum and had the chance to know the history of emirates of the UAE. We were able to see the lens behind what was Abu dhabi like in the olden days and get to know Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the mind behind the success of the Abu dhabi which is considered as one of the best destination to visit in the UAE. Our whole experience was full of astonishment. Our kids enjoyed reading the script written and got invested with the story, they also loved the touch of technology that makes their experience educational and fun as well. The attached photo below is my son busy taking a picture and shared it with his friends back in Saudi Arabia whom he is getting in touched with throughout the entire journey.

Phenomena by teamLab Abu Dhabi is an extraordinary artistic experience that goes far beyond the traditional concept of an exhibition. It is an immersive journey in which art, technology and nature come together harmoniously, engaging the viewer on a visual, emotional and sensory level. Each installation is alive, constantly changing, and reacts to the presence of visitors, making each experience unique and unrepeatable. Lights, colors and sounds create dreamlike environments that invite one to slow down, observe and be transported. One is not merely a spectator, but an integral part of the work itself.

My girlfriend and I also visited the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, and the experience was just as memorable in a completely different way. One of the first things we appreciated was the convenience of the location. All the museums are situated almost along a single line, forming a true cultural hub. This thoughtful urban layout makes it easy to move from one museum to another and encourages visitors to explore more in one day. From the very first seconds, I was impressed by the work of the staff. Everything was clearly explained to us, and the security procedures were handled at the highest level while remaining comfortable and welcoming. We were even offered a ride from one museum to another in golf carts- small details like this make a big difference and truly encourage you to return again and again. The exhibition itself begins with the creation of the Earth and its greatest treasures - the living beings that have inhabited it throughout different eras. For me, this was something very special. I felt as if I had returned to childhood, when I used to read encyclopedias describing the various geological eras of our planet. That sense of curiosity and wonder came back instantly. The exhibition is incredibly vivid and large-scale, filled with an impressive number of props and detailed models. The reconstructions of extinct animals - dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, and many others - are remarkably realistic, making it feel as though you are walking through another time. At moments, the atmosphere even reminded me of the animated film Ice Age, bringing a sense of familiarity, imagination, and fun into the scientific narrative. The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi is not only educational, but also emotional and immersive - a place that reconnects you with curiosity, childhood wonder, and a deeper appreciation of life on Earth.
