Experience Winter Magic in Dubai
Winter Wonderland is returning to Ski Dubai, bringing back the charm of Christmas and the excitement of meeting Santa Claus. From December 1 to December 25, Ski Dubai will once again transform into a snowy holiday destination where families can meet Santa in his grotto and experience the festive season in true North Pole style.
Santa will be arriving by sleigh and waiting to welcome guests at his cozy grotto inside Ski Dubai. This much-loved event has become a yearly tradition, offering a wonderful way for families to enjoy the holiday spirit without leaving the desert. Tickets are already on sale, and early bird discounts are available for those who book online before the end of November.
Meet Santa and Capture the Magic
The meet and greet experience with Santa starts from Dhs160, but early bird bookings are available for Dhs140. Guests can visit Santa in his beautifully decorated grotto, tell him what they want for Christmas, and enjoy a festive photo opportunity.
Each child will receive a printed photo with Santa to take home, along with a small gift, fleece gloves, and a cup of hot chocolate prepared by Santa’s elves. It is a cozy and heartwarming experience designed to capture the essence of Christmas for both kids and adults.
This package is perfect for families looking to enjoy a short but magical encounter with Santa, surrounded by snow-covered slopes and sparkling decorations.
Full Day of Festive Fun with the Santa Snow Park Package
For those who want to make the most of their day, Ski Dubai is offering the Santa Snow Park Package for Dhs305. This includes everything from the grotto experience plus unlimited access to the snow park rides and Winter Wonderland attractions.
Visitors can enjoy snow slides, toboggan runs, and snowball fights, creating endless fun for children and adults alike. For an additional Dhs40, guests can also enjoy a scenic ride on the chairlift or try the thrilling Mountain Thriller experience for an extra dose of adventure.
The snow park is filled with holiday-themed decorations and joyful music, giving visitors the feeling of being inside a real-life Christmas movie. It’s a complete day out for families, couples, and friends looking to celebrate the festive season together.

Families visiting Ski Dubai this festive season can take advantage of the Family Meet and Greet Package, which offers four tickets for Dhs600. This package is ideal for larger groups who want to enjoy the Santa experience together at a more affordable rate.
The family package allows everyone to share the excitement of meeting Santa and taking a family photo that will become a treasured holiday memory. With gifts, snow fun, and the magical atmosphere of Ski Dubai, it’s an experience that captures the true spirit of Christmas.
Breakfast with Santa at North 28
Another highlight of this year’s Winter Wonderland is Breakfast with Santa at Ski Dubai’s North 28 Restaurant. This event runs from December 12 to December 25, with breakfast starting at 8 am.
Children aged two and under can attend for Dhs80, while those aged two and above can enjoy the experience for Dhs160. Families will enjoy a delicious breakfast while Santa makes his way around the restaurant, greeting children and posing for photos.
It’s a warm and festive morning filled with laughter, treats, and unforgettable moments, perfect for families who want to enjoy a relaxed Christmas experience.
Inclusive Experiences for Everyone
Ski Dubai is also hosting special sessions for people of determination to ensure that everyone can take part in the festive fun. These dedicated sessions feature sensory-friendly adjustments such as reduced or no background music in both warm and cold areas.
The Meet Santa session for people of determination will be held on December 15 at 6 pm, along with a Breakfast with Santa on the same date. These sessions have been carefully planned to create a comfortable and inclusive environment so that every guest can enjoy the joy of the season.
Why Booking Early is a Must
The Santa experience at Ski Dubai is one of the most popular festive attractions in the city. Slots for Santa’s grotto are limited and often sell out quickly, so it’s best to secure your tickets early. Booking in advance not only guarantees your spot but also allows you to enjoy discounted early bird rates.
This year’s event is expected to draw even more families eager to make magical memories, so acting fast will ensure you don’t miss out on one of the best Christmas events in Dubai.
Explore the Winter Wonderland
Beyond meeting Santa, Ski Dubai’s Winter Wonderland offers visitors a complete festive experience. The snow park is transformed into a Christmas paradise with sparkling lights, festive music, and beautifully decorated trees.
Guests can build snowmen, play in the snow, and enjoy the winter-themed attractions that make Ski Dubai unique. Whether it’s your first time experiencing snow or a yearly family tradition, the atmosphere is filled with joy and excitement.
The experience also extends to the ski slopes, where visitors can watch expert skiers glide down the snowy hills, adding to the winter magic. Between the activities, guests can warm up with a cup of hot chocolate or enjoy festive treats from the nearby cafes and food stalls.
