Ski Dubai Snow Park Tickets: Slope, Penguins & Chairlift Access

Summary

Indoor Skiing and Penguin Encounters in Dubai

If you want a break from Dubai’s sun, this is it. You’ll ski or snowboard indoors, meet penguins up close, ride ziplines and chairlifts—all with your winter gear sorted. It’s fun for all ages and easy to spend hours here without ever getting bored.

What’s the experience like?

Walking into Ski Dubai feels like stepping into a different world—one minute you’re dodging the city’s heat, the next you’re crunching over real snow. My glasses fogged up right at the entrance, which made me laugh. The staff handed us thick jackets and fleece gloves; honestly, I was glad for the extra layers. You’ll want to keep your phone warm in your pocket—it gets chilly fast.

We started with the chairlift, gliding quietly above families tumbling down the slopes and kids shrieking on toboggans. Our guide pointed out the penguin area—yes, actual penguins in Dubai! Watching them waddle around was a highlight for me (they do a little “march” every hour or so). If you’re feeling brave, try the Snow Bullet zipline. I watched a couple ahead of me scream and laugh as they zipped overhead. There’s no need to rush; everything’s close together inside the snow park, so you can bounce from tubing to bumper cars without losing time.
