Keeping everyone happy is one of the greatest challenges for any globe-travelling family. Yet with its contrasting blend of gorgeous public green spaces and children-friendly cultural experiences, Abu Dhabi is a win-win for parents and kids alike.
Qasr Al Hosn and Cultural Foundation
Young minds find plenty to be inspired at Qasr Al Hosn and the Cultural Foundation: neighboring landmarks that preserve the rich cultural heritage of Abu Dhabi. Since the 1790s, Qasr Al Hosn has served as palace and seat of power. Today, surrounded by modern towers, it is a reminder of the city’s incredible growth. The Cultural Foundation was known as a place to foster cultural exchange, a mission that continues today with an inspiring program of exhibitions and performances.
Umm Al Emarat Park
There’s no shortage of green spaces in downtown Abu Dhabi, but few are as beautiful as Umm Al Emarat: a vast extent of lawns, date palms, and winding walkways. Since 2015, the park features an indoor Botanic Garden and dedicated Children’s Garden, as well as a nearly 100-foot high Shade House with two viewing platforms overlooking the greenery. On Saturdays, the park is home to The Ripe Market filled with fresh organic and local produce. Events such as outdoor cinema and concerts keep families entertained all year round.
Reem Central Park
Art and architecture exist side by side in Reem Central Park, a huge public space in the heart of the city where families and friends come to relax. Contemporary art installations（装置）and dancing fountains are dotted around the park. It’s a multicultural scene, where locals and visitors from all over the world relax on neat lawns and playgrounds, catch air at the skate park, and gather at restaurants and food trucks serving delicious snacks.
