After Snow Play: Warming Meals at The Lodge
If your visit includes Snow Abu Dhabi, you’ll likely want somewhere cosy and convenient afterwards. The Lodge is the dining concept associated with the snow park and serves warming dishes and hot drinks — a natural place to regroup after cold play.
The restaurant sits close to Snow Abu Dhabi’s exit points, which is useful when children are still getting their gloves or boots off. (The Lodge is part of the Snow Abu Dhabi food offering and its details — opening times and menus — are shown via the snow park pages.)
Practical Tips for Families (So Things Run Smoothly)
- Reserve for Busy Times. Weekends and school holidays are busy. For large groups or birthday bookings, contact the restaurant directly in advance.
- Use Family Facilities. Baby-changing rooms and accessible services are available; follow signage for wide lifts and dedicated drop-offs.
- Allergies & Special Requests. If anyone in your group has allergies, contact the outlet before you visit or speak to staff on arrival — many restaurants can accommodate simple requests.
Quick Sample Itineraries
- Morning with a Toddler: Café breakfast, a short play session, then an easy lunch at a family table.
- Snow Day: Book Snow Abu Dhabi tickets in advance, warm up with a hot meal at The Lodge or a nearby sit-down restaurant after play.
- Movie and Dinner: Catch a film at VOX, grab dessert nearby and choose an early table to avoid evening queues.
Where to Find Menus and Make Reservations
- Our website lists outlets and highlights — you can use the Dine and Map sections to find where each restaurant sits and to see which outlets we host.
- For the most current menus and to book a table, please contact the restaurant directly or visit the outlet’s official website. Some tenants provide menu links on their tenant pages, but reservations are handled by the restaurants themselves — Reem Mall does not take bookings on behalf of all tenants.
Final Note From Us
We arrange dining at Reem Mall to make family visits straightforward: sensible locations near play zones, cafés for quieter breaks, and sit-down options where groups can spread out. Use the mall’s Dine and Map pages to plan where to eat, and call the restaurant to confirm menus or reserve a table.
