Don't visit on a Saturday, as everything is closed. As someone interested in the issues Masdar is looking to address I was disappointed that there is no visitors centre, and no displays explaining the concept.
There is however an enormous car park (2 actually) and a large diesel powered generator welcomes you if you walk in from the airport (about 2.5km, possible in winter, hot in summer, but you have to walk on the road). Given Abu Dhabi now has a bike-sharing scheme an idea would be to extend it to Masdar.
The place is worth a visit if you are interested in architecture, town planning etc. As others say it is a ghost town. There is a shopping mall (which must be struggling to cover its costs) and a nice park (if temperatures allow), together with a university and other public buildings. The downloadable self-guided tour helps add some context, and the Siemens building has a small display in their foyer. It is however somewhat crazy that that this is Lonely Planet's top sight in Abu Dhabi.

Since I was at University, I have always dreamed of seeing Masdar City and for me, it is still under construction because the ambitions are just so grand. Masdar City is known to be the first eco city and there is good reason why it has such a name. I think once you visit you can appreciate the scale and size of the ambition and the fact that it's still under completion makes you think there's more to come.
