Dubai has penguins. Yes, you read that right. While the rest of us are melting in the desert sun, Ski Dubai has turned up the chill factor by launching its newest sub-zero adventure: The Ultimate Penguin Experience. And honestly, it’s about to waddle straight onto your bucket list.

Behind the Scenes of Penguin Life
This isn’t your average “see them from a distance” kind of thing. Nope—you’ll step behind the scenes to tour the penguin clinic, peek into their habitat, and even check out their pool (imagine the penguin version of a private cabana at a beach club). Then comes the highlight: face-to-face time with two star species—the dignified King Penguin and the mischievous Gentoo. You’ll get to hand-feed them, join in enrichment activities, and catch their slick underwater moves at the viewing area. Basically, it’s like being invited to the penguin version of a VIP meet-and-greet.
Of course, Ski Dubai doesn’t just stop at “aww” moments. They’ve built this experience to spark a deeper love and understanding for these feathered rockstars and the importance of conservation. You’ll meet Toby, the Gentoo who went viral for predicting FIFA World Cup results, and Pop, the first King Penguin born in the desert—both living proof that penguins can thrive in unexpected places when cared for properly.
And because Ski Dubai knows you’ll need to thaw out after all the icy fun, the package includes hot chocolate to warm your hands, plus quirky take-home goodies like penguin foot paintings and photo souvenirs. Add in unlimited access to the snow park rides, one-time Chairlift, and Mountain Thriller, and suddenly this is way more than just a penguin encounter—it’s a full-on day of frosty fun.
Snow Park Fun Included
Even better, the experience comes with serious cred. In 2024, Ski Dubai, alongside its sister parks Snow Oman and Ski Egypt, earned certification from Global Humane, proving that animal welfare isn’t just a tagline—it’s a priority.
The Ultimate Penguin Experience officially kicks off on 22 September with sessions running daily at 1:00 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. Just grab your crew (minimum of two, max of six) and get ready to meet the coolest celebrities in town.
