Qatar Tourism has confirmed that Dadu, the Children's Museum of Qatar, is set to open in 2026 as a dedicated family attraction, joining the country's push to broaden its cultural offering beyond its flagship museums.
Details on exact opening dates and ticketing were still emerging at the time of writing, but the museum is positioned as a hands-on, interactive space aimed specifically at children and families — a genuine gap in Doha's current museum scene, which otherwise skews toward adult-oriented collections at the Museum of Islamic Art and National Museum of Qatar.
For families planning a Doha trip, this is worth watching: see our Doha with Kids guide for the current best family options, which we'll update once Dadu's opening details and visitor information are confirmed.
