Positives:

  • Free infant admission: Babies under 2 enter free, so you pay only for adult tickets.
  • Wide stroller access: Most walkways and pavilion entrances are ramp-equipped for easy buggy navigation.

Challenges:

  • Heat in open areas: Some courtyards and pavilions are partially open-air and warm at midday.
  • Narrow corridors: A few historic houses have tight entrances that may require you to fold a large stroller.

Beautifully re-created traditional architecture, great place for a long afternoon walk and to hang out by creekside. It's fun to get lost in the narrow alleyways. One of the few photography-friendly places in Dubai.

All the staff were polite and welcoming. My fa...
