THAT’S SNOW BUSINESS

The region’s biggest snow park is primed to open on June 8, bringing cool vibes, cold snaps and chill times to the capital

VITAL SKATE-TISTICS

These are probably the most exciting snow facts that we’ve ploughed through in our research on the attraction.

•There will be 12 exhilarating rides and 17 engaging attractions spread over a 10,000 square-foot area.

Snow Abu Dhabi looks set to be the real ‘piste’ de résistance of 1.2 billion US Dollar mega project, Reem Mall. Your invitation to elope to the slopes begins on June 8, when the region’s largest snow park finally unleashes an avalanche of sub-zero shenanigans on the capital. And we can’t wait to skidaddle over to live, laugh, and ‘Let It Goooooo ’

Snow Abu Dhabi is a Majid Al Futtaim Group endeavour and part of the wider Reem Mall construction. The mall is deep into its phased opening plan now and once fully finished, it’ll feature 85 different dining options and over 450 stores, across twomillion-square-feet of retail space.

What will likely take the top spot on the list of ways to stay chill in the capital this summer season, Snow Abu Dhabi will offer whimsical encounters with themedcharacters and exciting entertainment experiences.

•The temperature will be regulated to a super chilly 2ºC, and the slopes will be dusted in a snowcapped coating to an average depth of around half a metre.

•Confirmed attractions include two giant slides, one named ‘Ice and Floes Toboggan Race’ that sounds nice and gentle, and ‘Grauppel’s Summit Escape,’ which sounds theatrically less so.

•Other rides include The Entry Plaza, Flight of the Snowy Owl, Magic Carpet, Polar Express Train, Crystal Carousel and Ice and Floes Bumper Tubes, The Trolls Bowl, Drifts Downhill Run, and Snow Hares Bunny Hill and The Enchanted Tree (which will serve as a sort of central part of the story telling aspect of the park).

•Snow Abu Dhabi dining experiences come in the form of The Lodge Restaurant, Grotto Amphitheatre, Ice Café, the Party Room and VIP Room.
