Penguin

Gentoo Says

Snow, slopes, and real penguins, right in the middle of Dubai. The Classic Pass is the best choice for a full day in the snow park with the family. Go Plus or Premium if skiing or meeting the penguins is on your list. Book ahead, especially at weekends when slots fill up fast.

We were an Indian family visiting Ski Dubai again after twenty years. My daughter was just two when she first visited. They have successfully maintained the same amount of fun and quality as it was when first opened. Staff is courteous, lots of fun things to do inside. We visited in May last week on a weekday when there was very low crowds and were able to do almost all rides twice. They give you suits and gloves and shoes. There a food court inside and vegetarians can have shakes, Nachos, pancakes, fries. We loved the Penguins. Absolutely recommended for fun family bonding time.

The area is quite big. Alot of challenging and fun games awaits you inside. The staffs are friendly and accommodating. It is a child friendly place and fun. There's no long queue upon entering. Have free foods and gears are included in the entrance fee. It so cold inside so better be prepared to experience Antarctica zone...

Had such a wonderful and memorable experience at Dubai Sky! ❄️🤍 I decided to celebrate my birthday here with my partner, and it became even more special because it was my partner’s first time experiencing real snow! Seeing their excitement and happiness while playing in the snow made my birthday celebration extra meaningful. It was such a unique experience to enjoy a winter wonderland right in the middle of Dubai. We had so much fun, took lots of photos, and created beautiful memories together. The whole experience felt magical, especially being able to celebrate such a special day doing something different and unforgettable. The staff were also friendly and helpful, which made our visit even more enjoyable. Definitely one of the most memorable birthday experiences I’ve had, and I’m so happy I got to share it with my partner. Highly recommended, especially for couples or anyone looking for a fun and unique experience! ☃️❄️🎂❤️

Ski Dubai is AWESOME!! This is my second timer here. We did almost everyone. I highly highly recommend you do the penguin experience. It was absolutely awesome. The only is it cool to touch the penguins and take pictures with them, but the trainer was amazing. He was so nice to meet and so informative so much information to I just highly recommended. Everything here is just absolutely so well done staff is so friendly and helpful and you get to experience snow in the middle of the desert. We did the ski lift we did the rides we played in the snow. It just absolutely is something you have to experience if you come to Dubai. Highly recommend! where did the summer pass dusk include the free hamburger and drink we did not do that. We weren’t really hungry and we came in the morning and just wanted to play so we kind of miss that part but we’re so glad that we got the summer pass. Let us do everything we wanted to as many times we wanted to, and we just enjoyed being there and enjoying the snow in the desert. Hope this helps.
