World's largest indoor snow-play park

The developers of Dh3.67-billion Reem Mall, Abu Dhabi's new shopping and leisure destination, will be home to the world's largest indoor snow-play park.

The announcement marks another major entertainment destination for the UAE capital, as it continues to enhance its position as a global tourism and leisure hub.

The 125,000 square feet attraction is set to include a variety of activities and experiences to be enjoyed by the entire family – from sledging to zorbing to luge.

Developed by the NREC and UPAC, Reem Mall will bring a new dimension to the leisure and retail offering in Abu Dhabi. Expected to open in 2018, it will include some 450 stores including 85 food and beverage outlets.

"Reem Mall is one of the most ambitious and exciting retail and leisure projects ever undertaken in Abu Dhabi, and we are thrilled to announce the news of it becoming home to the world's largest indoor snow-play park,” said Shane Eldstrom, Chief Operating Officer for Reem Mall.

"From the outset, Reem Mall has been designed as the ultimate family destination, and this fantastic new attraction will make it the place to meet, shop and play. We look forward to sharing more exciting details in the coming months.”

Located on Reem Island, the new mall development is strategically positioned within the new master-developed residential and commercial zone, which – according to Abu Dhabi's Urban Planning Council – will eventually be home to more than 210,000 people.
