By taxi

If you take a taxi to Snow Town, be sure to negotiate a price before setting off. Otherwise, you might be in for a nasty surprise upon arrival. A full-day taxi rental is another possibility to secure roundtrip transport.

By guided tour

What are the opening times?

Snow Town opens at 10 AM every day of the week. It closes at 5 PM from Monday to Friday and at 6 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.

Is it wheelchair friendly?

Yes, Snow Town is wheelchair friendly with ramps located throughout the park for ease of mobility. You can also rent a wheelchair to use during your visit if someone in your group is in need of such assistance.

When is the best time to visit Snow Town?

The best time to visit Snow Town is early in the morning right after the park opens at 10 AM. As this is a popular theme park, the crowds will only get larger throughout the day. You should also try to avoid visiting on weekends or during school holidays.

The best time of the year to visit is any time of year. As all the snowy activities take place indoors, the weather isn't such an important factor when planning your visit. If you're here during the hottest summer months, Snow Town offers the perfect escape to cool off.
