Ski Dubai Snow Classic: Indoor Snow Park Tickets at Mall of the Emirates
Escape Dubai’s heat for an engineered alpine playground inside the Mall of the Emirates. Ski Dubai’s Snow Classic ticket gives access to multiple slopes, tubing attractions, an Ice Cave and a chairlift—perfect for families and first-time skiers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear thin, warm layers
The park provides outerwear but a moisture-wicking base layer keeps you comfortable during activity and the short walk back to the mall.
Book penguin encounters separately
Animal interactions are scheduled and sold as add-ons—reserve early if that’s a priority.
Time your visit
Arrive at opening or mid-afternoon to avoid peak tourist periods around midday and early evening.
Mind health restrictions
Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health—check with staff before entering high-adrenaline rides.
