  • A series of stellar attractions are available now at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

    At Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, you will not be short of options for entertainment as their spectacular Winterfest returns with an array of festive family-friendly activities on the agenda.

    The indoor venue has been transformed into a wonderland, meaning you can celebrate the magic of the festive season in style with your friends and family for just the price of a normal admission ticket.

    Running for the fourth-straight year, the Winterfest has become a massive hit at Ferrari World and this year will be no different.

    The festival was officially opened yesterday as the UAE’s promising skate and Olympic hopeful Zahra Lari wowed the crowd with a solo performance on ice. And with it running until January 7, there’s plenty of time to see why it’s highly rated.

    Besides the usual top attractions, visitors can look forward to witnessing a colourful tree lighting ceremony every hour with regular appearances from the famous duo Khalil and Berto.

    On top that, you can also enjoy the figure skating shows, combining acrobatics and dance. For those who want to take to the rink, you can do exactly that with the 240 square metre ice rink available for guests to enjoy.

    The fun doesn’t stop there, children will have the opportunity to meet the animatronic polar bear, Bjorn, and get the chance to play with artificial snow in the play area, while visitors will be impressed with memorising performances by ballerinas in an enormous snow globe.

    The seasonal market is also worth visiting, especially as there will be traditional cakes and cookies on sale that will surely tempt everyone’s taste buds.

    And there’s also a chance to pick up some ornaments and merchandise products before you leave.

    All in all, it will be a memorable experience.

    “We’ve been doing this since 2013 and in each year, it grows. It’s a big fit for the first-time visitors and people who always return every year,” said Dan Mitchell, director of entertainment at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

    “The best thing about the Winterfest is that there’s a lot of things to do apart from the park attractions. There is also an ice-skating rink, a play-area for the kids as well as a lot of festive decorations.

    “I think in addition to everything you get in the park, we’re really trying to create a festive atmosphere. It will be fun in any day of the day you visit and that only adds to the festive cheer.”
