Satisfy your need for speed throughout the holidays at the ever-awesome Ferrari World Abu Dhabi which has turned into a Winter Wonderland for Christmas.
Winter Fest at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi is currently the coolest ticket on Yas Island, continuing on until January 4 at one of the hottest venues on the island.
The Park is bursting with icy events and oneof- a-kind experiences, including a breathtaking performance by Olympic champion skaters on a specially built ice rink, which is also open to skate-savvy visitors until the new year.
The motor racing-mad venue is right now glistening with Ferrarithemed ice sculptures and it’s one of the few places in the UAE currently enjoying a bit of “snow” which is adding to the White Christmas atmosphere on site.
There’s even a giant 12-metre Christmas tree as a magical centrepiece to all the activities and festivities.
And, to add colour and depth in mesmerising 3D, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s very own artists will be creating stunning wall and floor art around the venue while you, friends and family take in everything on offer.
From karting and the chills and thrills from riding the fastest rollercoaster on earth, to exciting ice skating performances by the likes of eight times British Champion Steven Cousins, three times US Champion and member of US Figure Skating Hall of Fame Robert Deinking, alonside the creators of ‘Flying on Ice’, Marcy Acevedo and Alfonso Campa.
Arts and crafts activities will also be taking place and in the face painting area, children (or adults) can opt for a festive makeover.
Mike Oswald, General Manager of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, said: “Winter Fest bears all the hallmarks of the traditional Ferrari World Abu Dhabi passion, innovation and celebration.
“We wanted to provide a magical winter wonderland and give families the chance to bring home memories they could cherish forever. I warmly invite everyone to wrap up in their winter woollies and head over and join us for a special kind of family fun!”
The holidays tend to further bring out the sweet tooth in many and luckily mouth-watering delights will also be in abundance at the Park in the form of a Giant Gingerbread House tantalising the taste buds of visitors with its highly-skilled in-house pastry chefs who will be baking seasonal cookies and craft chocolate trees as well as some of Italy’s most popular festive dishes – from Panettone to Hazelnut and Chocolate Torrone, and of course the popular roasted capon with all the trimmings too.
And with extended hours during the season, there’s even more time to explore and enjoy Ferrari World Abu Dhabi’s many adrenalinepumping rides and attractions and special winter activities, all for the price of a regular admission ticket.
The Park’s ideal location in the UAE’s hottest leisure hub, Yas Island, also makes it an unmatched weekend destination to be enjoyed with family and friends.
