It's on The Corniche, in the big white tent by the Orry statue. Surely you know where The Corniche is? It's the big sweeping curve of a road that runs round the edge of Doha Bay, with a walkway by the water.

i went there this morning with my son. Went in ... and out again in less than 20 mins. It wasnt too bad ... just not too many things to do inside it. Was expecting to kill few hrs for his half term break ... we ended up to the city centre for cinema instead.

Mmmm... sounds disappointing. Looked good on paper!

Perhaps it wasn't such a good choice for a photo shoot subject.

Well as we all know, when something a bit different comes to Qatar it's easy to get over-excited. We're all just so pleased to have something new to do!

Dont be put off though ... it is just my opinion. After 7 yrs in Qatar anything remotely off interest I'll be there Laughing

I also went there this morning with a bunch of kids. We had a lovely lady guide inside who woke the kids interest at different stations+explained them about animal facts. Then the tried the interactive games connected to each station so we spent 1.5 very educational hours there :)

 

Worth seeing if you have kids in primary school.

lamea if you come from the C ring road ... then turn left on toyota signal ... drive straight all the way down. Pass Dasman Centre, pass Grand Hamad Street (where all the bank are), pass souq waqif on your left till reaching corniche.

 

Turn left on the T junction ... just drive all the way down to the corniche you should see the big orry statue on your left hand side. The tent just under the statue.

 JonB ... i agree it was a bit small... but they travel all over the world... so this is just there travel display... so you cant expect to much... BUT... since it only cost 10 riyal for me my wife and kid... it was worth it... atleast it wasnt expensive ... i have been twice just because we went to the corniche one day and figured we would go again just to waste some time...
