Summer in the UAE tends to boil down to the same shortlist: malls, cinemas, and indoor water parks. Louvre Abu Dhabi is giving residents a genuinely different option, and a cheaper one at that. From August 1 to September 30, UAE residents can get 30% off general admission simply by showing a valid Emirates ID at the door of Louvre Abu Dhabi

The standout for this season is the Children’s Museum’s new exhibition, A Board Game Adventure, which turns the idea of play into something genuinely educational. Think strategy, storytelling and hands-on creativity woven through interactive displays rather than a glass-case-and-plaque setup. It’s built for kids but honestly works for anyone who enjoys a bit of nostalgia mixed with learning. Alongside that, the museum’s Art in Motion programme brings family-friendly film screenings that blend animation, art and culture, a solid one for an air-conditioned afternoon when the idea of leaving the house feels like a lot.
Beyond The Headline Exhibition
The programming goes well past the two big-ticket items, too. Guided tours are running throughout summer, creative workshops for those who want to make something rather than just look at it, and interactive experiences designed to get visitors engaging with the collection rather than just walking past it. For parents juggling school-holiday boredom, the museum’s summer camps are also running, giving kids a structured way to spend a few hours learning through art and play instead of screens. And of course, there’s the museum itself, galleries beneath that instantly recognisable floating dome, tracing human civilisation through masterpieces, historical artefacts and contemporary works pulled from cultures across the world.

Why This Is Worth Planning Around
This kind of seasonal push isn’t new for Louvre Abu Dhabi; the museum has leaned into accessible, community-facing programming before, from hosting food-led pop-ups in its café to running free-entry days tied to community initiatives. A 30% discount stacked on top of a genuinely packed summer calendar makes this one of the more sensible ways to use a free Saturday before September rolls around and school routines take over again. Bring the Emirates ID, plan around A Board Game Adventure if the kids are with you, and leave enough time to just wander the galleries; that part’s free of charge no matter what season it is.
