Hopefully landing in time for the festive season…
If, like us, you’re still reeling from the knowledge that the UAE was able to build a massive indoor ski slope with real snow in the middle of a desert, hold on to your wooly hats. Because your world is about to get even wilder.
The enchanted-forest themed Snow Abu Dhabi is scheduled for completion in the last part of this year, and it’s being trailed as ‘the world’s largest snow park’.
S’now joke
The attraction will span across a huge 125,000 sq ft area, divided into distinct whimsical zones.
We can look forward to themed-character and 13 thrilling rides and attractions co-conceived by Al Farwaniya Property Developers, Majid Al Futtaim Ventures and Thinkwell.
It doesn’t matter if the weather outside is frightful. The park will be kept at a rosy-nosed -2ºC, with a 500mm covering of snow (more than enough for beefy snowball building) offering a year-round chill spot in this, our beloved land of the eternal sun.
Sleighing it
Let out your inner Elsa with rides and attractions inside the park that include:
Snowflake Garden
Here young and old can frolic in the snow. Do you wanna build a snowman? Well you can here, you can also enjoy ice labyrinths, snowball fights and other snow-based games. Ok bye.
Crystal Carousel
An ornate carved twinkling carousel featuring the animals of the Enchanted Forest.
Flurries’ Mountain
Make the ascent up this indoor chocolate box peak for an up-close look at the park’s glittering central feature…
The Enchanted Tree
