What’s free & what to know

• This free thing is for a qualifying person of determination and up to two accompanying people. Other visitors pay the applicable admission price; no paid companion is required for the eligible group.
• Use the People of Determination category in the official booking system. The venue’s current terms grant free admission to the eligible visitor and two accompanying people.
• Creek Park access is ordinarily charged separately. The official booking quote for a POD visitor remains AED0 with Include Creek park tickets selected; Dubai Municipality also grants qualifying POD visitors and up to two companions free park entry.
• Children up to 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The galleries are designed mainly for ages 2–15; this is an educational age focus, not a blanket free-child offer.
• Tickets are valid for the selected visit date. Present a readable electronic or printed ticket at entry; admission is subject to the venue’s operating conditions and capacity.
• The Planetarium and Earth Sciences Gallery are marked coming soon on the current booking page and are not included in this description. Individual laboratory sessions, special programmes, food and purchases are not promised.
• The live booking page lists weekdays 08:00–20:00 and weekends 14:00–20:00, with ticket sales ending at 19:30. Confirm an early weekday visit, as the general municipal overview lists a 09:00 weekday opening.
