You can visit the Expo City for free this Friday

DATE & TIME

To commemorate International Museum Day, you can visit all the flagship pavilions for free and enjoy some special programmes

If you haven’t visited Expo City already, or are simply nostalgic, here’s your chance to check out the best of it for free!

Celebrating International Museum Day, they are offering free entry to all flagship pavilions on 19 May.

In addition to checking out the existing exhibits, visitors can also look forward to specially curated educational programmes and a treasure hunt across seven attractions framed around this year’s theme of ‘Museums, Sustainability and Wellbeing’.

The offer includes Expo City’s Alif – The Mobility Pavilion, Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion, The Women’s and Vision Pavilions, as well as each of the three Stories of Nations Pavilions, and comes the day after International Museum Day, which is marked annually on 18 May.

Among the planned activities, Terra will screen climate-focused films in collaboration with the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi, as well as host informative tours, storytelling sessions, physical theatre workshops and a ‘tinker table’ for play-based learning.

At Alif, inquisitive minds can build robot hands in a Lego workshop to learn about motors, sensors, and the basic principles of engineering, while visitors of all ages can get involved in craft activities at the Women’s and Vision Pavilions.

Expo City Dubai, which is set to host the UN Climate Conference COP28 later this year, is a blueprint for sustainable urban planning and is committed to protecting the environment, including through programmes that inspire visitors to play a role in the planet’s preservation.
