Have to go out there for a couple of work things.
Taking wife and kids with me (3&5yr olds). I'm assuming it's clean and safe enough for them to find stuff to do on their own, and also with me.
Ferrari World is a must, but what are the other things I should make sure we don't miss?
Any other advice?
We're there 10 days.

Was there a couple of weeks back no issues getting around. Uber is the best bet and for Abu Dhabi is pretty reasonable. If going to the Louvre then the Roof bar is a great sunset spot, if a bit bougie but most of it is.
As above Mosque is good; the free Heritage tour is worthwhile as you get to go inside the Mosque proper.
Mandarin Oriental is only 8 star hotel in the world - it's what happens if not only is money no object but you are trying to find lunatic ways to spend it.

100% safe, don’t worry about that aspect. Taking wife and kids with me (3&5yr olds). I'm assuming it's clean and safe enough for them to find stuff to do on their own, and also with me.

Emirates national motor museum is about an hour south. The one Clarkson visited on his motorworld Series. Nothing
much has changed since. Old and faded yet enjoyable look at a bit of ye olde worlde sheikhe lifestyle.
Grand mosque is best done with a guided tour. They are free but set times in the morning. It’s an impressive building and you see more of it with the tour.
If not based on yas and you go there for the day, then prep to stay in the evening. Some decent f&b and atmosphere around yas bay.
Al ain zoo for the kids with a drive up jebel hafeet.
Kayaking in the mangroves if the kids are up to it.
If you have 2-3 days free and can make it work around your schedule, then check into sir bani yas island. Private villa type accom on a private island with wildlife reserve. Can be mega cheap last minute, feels like a world away from the rest of the emirates.

Abu Dhabi is a horrible place. Not nearly as nice as Dubai, but that’s a hateful place.
If you really must go, stay around the Yas Marina, go to Gerrari works and the Grand Mosque, as someone has already suggested
Really shocked to see this. Having visited 5 times now I honestly can’t stand Dubai. Abu Dhabi is where I feel so much calm and enjoyment. If you really must go, stay around the Yas Marina, go to Gerrari works and the Grand Mosque, as someone has already suggested
