Christmas in Dubai is all about winter markets, festive shows, and plenty of holiday cheer! If meeting Santa is on your to-do list this season, get excited for The Grotto, coming to the Dubai Ice Rink at Dubai Mall this December.
The Grotto promises a magical experience, transforming Dubai into a winter wonderland. You’ll stroll through Candy Cane Land, explore the Enchanted Forest, visit the Merry Mailroom, and finally arrive at Santa’s cozy cabin. Santa’s Elves will be there to engage little ones with merry challenges and fun games. Kids can even write their letters in a festive setting filled with towering candy canes and twinkling lights!
As you make your way through the Enchanted Forest, keep an eye out for Flossy the Forest Elf and Sparkle the Sleep Elf, who will assist you on your snowy adventure. In the Merry Mailroom, children can post their wish lists into a magical mailbox.
Finally, it’s time to meet Santa! Families can enjoy a meet-and-greet, take a professional photo (available for purchase), and receive a special gift to remember the day.
The Grotto will run from December 6 to January 5, opening daily from 10 AM to midnight. Visitors can book 10-minute entry windows, with tickets priced at AED 149 for children and AED 99 for accompanying adults (one adult and one child minimum per booking, maximum five guests). Babies under 12 months enter for free.
Pre-sale tickets are available now, with general tickets going on sale tomorrow, October 9. Don’t miss out—register for pre-sale tickets today!
