With schools back in session, weekends are precious and finding something to keep the kids entertained whilst also giving them a little dose of culture can be easier said than done.
Enter Louvre Abu Dhabi, where a new interactive experience is turning one of the world’s favourite pastimes into a family-friendly museum adventure.
Who Said Museums Had to Be Quiet?
A Board Game Adventure is part of Louvre Abu Dhabi’s Children’s Museum, taking young visitors on a journey through the history of games and the ways they have brought people together across different places and periods.
Discover chess, Mancala, Ludo and Carrom, while learning how games have travelled and evolved. There are also historical objects to discover, including ancient gaming pieces, giving children a glimpse into how people entertained themselves long before tablets and PlayStations existed.
Let The Kids Get Involved
The big appeal is that this isn’t a look-but-don’t-touch museum experience. The exhibition uses playful environments and interactive elements to encourage children to explore the subject for themselves.
It’s aimed at younger visitors, but parents can join in too, making it a fun option for a family day out. This is a glorious chance to introduce the kids to art, history, and different cultures without making it feel like an extension of the school day.
And The Best Part? Kids Go Free
Visitors under 18 can enter the museum free of charge, making this an even more appealing option for families looking for a cultural day out.
If your weekend plans are looking a little empty, swap another trip to soft play for something different. You might find that a museum full of games is exactly the kind of cultural adventure the kids didn’t know they needed.
