Visit the King and the Gentoo penguins in Dubai…

Ski Dubai is home to its very own colony of King and Gentoo Penguins! Meet the waddling friends by experiencing a Ski Dubai penguin encounter during your visit. Get up close and personal with these incredible creatures to discover more about how the species survive in some of the coldest conditions on Earth.

The daily March of the Penguins is held in the Snow Park. This gives guests a chance to see these beautiful creatures up close, as they take a starring role alongside their team of handlers. With a variety of packages available, visitors can meet the penguins and watch as they play together. You can also take part in a range of fun and exciting training sessions
