Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art and civilisation museum on Saadiyat Island, where galleries and exhibitions sit beneath a vast dome. Families can explore works from different periods and cultures, join museum-educator tours, and visit the Children's Museum. Its current Children's Museum exhibition, Picturing the Cosmos, invites young visitors through a three-floor space-themed experience. Other child-focused features described by the museum include interactive challenges, creative activities and a toddler area in a past exhibition; check which programs and spaces are operating during your visit.

Room for discovery

What can you explore?

  • The Children's Museum's current exhibition, Picturing the Cosmos, is described as a three-floor journey into space.

  • The museum visitor page lists complimentary loan of strollers and wheelchairs at the Loan Desk.
Suggested interest ages
Suggested interests: ages 3–17
Editorial age guidance
Editorial interest suggestion, not an admission rule: ages 3–17 are a useful planning range for children likely to engage with art interpretation, gallery discovery, and the child-oriented exhibition; younger siblings can still visit with their adults. The official Children's Museum page describes a three-floor cosmos adventure for young visitors, while the older Costume Adventure page describes an under-three toddler space and says all children must be accompanied by an adult. These are program/subattraction details, not a venue-wide minimum; confirm the current exhibition and activity age guidance before going.
Visitor planning notes
Official visitor guidance lists strollers and wheelchairs for complimentary loan from the Loan Desk, toilets throughout the museum, free Wi-Fi, cloakrooms, and accessible facilities; contact staff for help with access needs. Hours vary by day: galleries close earlier than the dome, and last gallery entry is 30 minutes before closing (the dome's last entry is 11 pm). Under-18s are listed as free; standard adult admission is shown as AED 70 on the fetched page. Check current gallery availability, schedules, ticket terms and transport before travel. The on-site Museum Café lists a children's menu. The museum is on Saadiyat Island; no weather-dependent recommendation is made.
