🏛️ Part 3: What’s Inside? (A Floor-by-Floor Journey)
The museum is divided into “chapters,” each occupying a different floor. Your journey begins with a ride in a “falcon” space pod that “launches” you into orbit.
Level 5: OSS Hope (Space Exploration)
Experience life on a massive space station in 2071. You’ll see how lunar energy is harvested and look out of “windows” at a futuristic Earth from 600km above.
Level 4: The HEAL Institute (Ecology)
Enter a stunning “DNA Library” featuring 2,400 species encased in glowing glass jars. This floor focuses on how we can repair our planet’s ecosystems through bioengineering.
Level 3: Al Waha (Wellness)
Known as “The Oasis,” this floor is a digital detox zone. It focuses on the “future of the soul,” with immersive rooms designed to stimulate the senses through light, water, and meditation.
Level 2: Tomorrow Today (Technology)
This is a rotating gallery showcasing real-world near-future technologies. Expect to see jetpacks, advanced robotics, AI innovations, and sustainable building materials.
- The Viewing Deck: Access the outdoor platform here to stand in the center of the torus for a vertigo-inducing photo.
Level 1: Future Heroes (For Kids)
A dedicated space for children under 10. It’s an interactive “lab” where kids can complete missions, earn badges, and solve problems using future-focused skills.
🚇 Part 4: How to Get There
- By Metro: The easiest way. Take the Red Line to the Emirates Towers Station. A direct, air-conditioned footbridge connects the station to the museum.
- By Car: Parking is very limited and chargeable (AED 15/hour). Valet parking is also available. Given the central location on Sheikh Zayed Road, the Metro is highly recommended to avoid traffic.
⚠️ 3 Things You Must Know Before Booking
- Strict Arrival Policy: You have a 30-minute grace period for your time slot. If you arrive later than 30 minutes past your scheduled time, you will be denied entry without a refund.
- Modest Dress: As a public space in the UAE, visitors are asked to dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered).
- No Flash Photography: You can take as many photos as you want, but flash and professional tripod setups are generally prohibited.
