Majid Al Futtaim Investments has finalised details for Ski Dubai's Snow Park, the largest in-door snow play area in the world, totalling 3,000 square metres.

"Our aim is to provide an introduction to snow for all ages and all skill levels. The addition of the Snow Park area gives everyone, young and old, the opportunity to just play in real snow, partake in fun activities and enjoy the unique surroundings," said Phil Taylor, chief executive of Ski Dubai. "Ski Dubai's Snow Park will have something for the snow enthusiast and the not-so-energetic," he said.

Part of the Mall of the Emirates' Ski Dubai development, the park will provide a unique entertainment experience for all ages, complementing the range of other exciting experiences Ski Dubai offers. Scheduled to open in September, Ski Dubai, the world's first indoor mountain resort will provide visitors to Mall of the Emirates with a total snow experience.

Exclusive to Mall of the Emirates, the Snow Park will offer features and activities that include tobogganing hills, twin track bobsled racing and a snowball shooting gallery.

The park will recreate an authentic mountain environment with frozen waterfalls, rocky outcrops, tree formations and fresh snow every day. For the less athletically inclined, the park will have a large observation tower offering a view of the entire resort, including the skiers and snowboarders on the slopes.

At the mountainside cafes, visitors will be able to sit comfortably with family and friends and watch the action on the slopes.
