Dubai Mall is lighting up this holiday season with The Grotto, a one-of-a-kind Christmas attraction imported directly from the UK. Originating in Manchester, this enchanting experience promises to transport families into a magical world filled with festive cheer and unforgettable memories.
Upon arrival, your journey begins in Candy Cane Lane, a whimsical gateway to a series of fantastical rooms that captivate both children and adults. From there, you’ll venture through the Enchanted Forest, meet delightful Christmas characters, and post your wish list in the Merry Mail Room.
The grand finale is a meet-and-greet with Santa Claus himself, complete with a special gift and a memorable photo opportunity. With the involvement of West End performers as Santa’s elves, every detail is designed to immerse visitors in a truly theatrical and magical experience.
Tickets are priced at AED 149 per child and AED 99 per adult, with free entry for kids under 12 months (though they won’t receive a gift). Each session accommodates up to five people, and pre-booking is highly recommended to secure your spot. The Grotto is located next to the Dubai Ice Rink in Dubai Mall.
The Grotto runs from Friday, December 6, to Sunday, January 5, with doors open from 10 AM to midnight daily. For tickets and more information, visit thegrotto.me.
Other Santa appearances across Dubai include stops at Ski Dubai, Expo City, and the Winter District at Media City, but The Grotto promises a standout experience for those seeking something extra special.
