The Expo 2020

The Expo 2020 is an event that is suitable for all ages! Children have special rates with free access that
has unlimited entries for the entire 6 months of Expo. This is available for children under 18, students,
people of determination and for seniors that are over 60 years old. To make children’s visit as smooth
and memorable as possible, they have a range of services for families with children.

Children can enjoy a Mars-inspired playground where they can climb their way to Mars through fun nets
as they learn all about planets and the universe. They can jump on the trampolines and feel as if they are
flying in space. Children can learn about other children through Expo’s “Children’s Tales From Around
the World” where children from over 70 countries have written traditional stories. This allows children to
learn about different cultures through storytelling in a fun and colourful way. They can even learn about
penguin behaviour through robots, where they can play a jump and run game to guide a baby penguin
back to safety past the deadly dangers of the Arctic.

A Model United Nations (MUN) conference will be held during the Expo 2020. This event is expected to
bring together over 120 nationalities across the UAE, including Emirati students. It will run for three days
where all the students will experience all the pavilions. Students will learn about the world through
research and debates. The theme of the MUN is to help improve the world.
