Hundreds of people, particularly families have descended on the marina in the capital to enjoy the festive activities since the attraction was opened on December 4.

Take a stroll along the promenade and admire the decorations and the amazing Christmas tree.

And if you fancy having a snow fight, then you can do exactly that in its special designated snow fight area.

The artificial ‘Snow Fight Zone’ is open daily from 12:00 to 19:00 with entry costing Dh30 per person for a 15 minute session.

And while you wait, you can enjoy a round of Penguin Bowling aimed for all ages.

And if you fancy a bite to eat, there are a variety of restaurants offering a wide range of delicious dishes.

The Kid’s Film Fridays will continue to run with the movie beginning at 18:00 each week, meaning there’s something for everyone.

“It’s pretty much our Winter Wonderland and it’s ready to bring some smiles to the residents and tourists to the island,” said Cedric Le Rest, general manager at Yas Marina.

“The UAE is a very multicultural country so it’s just nice to arrange some festive activities that people can enjoy.

“Last year we had some good activities but this year to do something beyond the previous years.

People can walk along the promenade and look at the fantastic tree that is on display along with its beautiful decorations. We have artificial snow on the landscaping so it really gives that festive spirit.”
