Where to Find Ski Dubai

Children aged 3 to 12 pay 30 AED less on every ticket type. Penguin encounters add 150 AED per person and must be booked at least 48 hours ahead through the official counter.
Slope Levels and Snow Activities
The facility offers five slopes that range from beginner to advanced. Beginners start on the magic carpet area with gentle inclines.

Snow Park Features
The snow park area includes a dedicated play zone with slides, igloos, and a snowball target range. Families can reserve a private snow cave for birthday parties at 450 AED for two hours. Snowball fights and snowman-building zones stay open during all operating hours. Free lockers are available near the changing rooms on a first-come basis.
Penguin Encounter Experience
Visitors meet four king penguins during the 15-minute encounter inside a chilled viewing room. Handlers explain penguin care routines and allow supervised photos. Sessions run at 11:00, 14:00, and 17:00 daily. Capacity is limited to 15 people per slot, so advance booking is required. Children under 3 enter free with a paying adult.
Practical Tips for Visitors
Arrive 30 minutes before your session to complete registration and collect gear. Wear light layers because the indoor temperature stays cold even with activity. Bring socks and gloves if you prefer not to use the provided ones. Photography is allowed but tripods are not permitted on the slopes. Mall parking costs 20 AED per hour after the first three free hours. Book tickets online or at the counter to avoid queues during school holidays.
