Imagine if SEGA (the gaming company behind the game consoles many nineties kids grew up with) and the BBC worldwide came together to create an interactive museum? Well this would be their technology baby!

The first of it’s kind outside Japan, Orbi Dubai opened officially on May 9th and it looks like something anyone with an inquisitive mind, of any age, can enjoy.

It’s all about edu-tainment, gettit?

The immersive experiences feature stunning footage taken from the BBC’s natural history unit, the kids will WANT to learn about what they’re witnessing. Explorer Nabil Al Busaidi was at the launch and revealed that some of the most incredible parts of the earth are on display here.

What’s on show?

Imagine being on an elephant safari in Central Africa, experiencing a family of mountain gorillas in 4D or exploring frozen Mt Kenya in sub zero temperatures. Or be part of the 360-screening experience or gesture control learning experiences; each one gives a realistic view of nature and wildlife, while taking place in the indoor museum. 

Forget your phone or TV, the technologies used at this museum create a one-of-a-kind experience.

Orbi Dubai is located at City Centre Mirdiff 

Tickets start at AED 140. Family passes for AED449

Children below three can enter for free
