It is only mid March and it already feels like we are in the middle of summer! Yes, it is time to break out those flip-flops and popsicle moulds and, if you are in Mumbai, to bring out your winter wear! Nope, you read right! We said winter wear!
This summer, don your warm tees and tracks and head to Smaaash! The country’s first gaming and entertainment centre launched ‘Snow Rush’, a state of the art snow play area in the heart of the city.
What is Snow Rush?Â
Snow Rush is the country’s first snow play area at Kamala Mills, Lower Parel. Imagine 4,000 sqft of snow and a real winter wonderland experience! Snow Rush is a winter wonderland for kids by day and turns into the city’s ‘coolest’ party place by night, complete with a bar stocked with spirits and cocktails to keep you warm. By day bring your kids to enjoy snowball fights, snow sledding, and even feel what it is like to crawl into an igloo! At Snow Rush parents and children can have playful snowball fights and build snowmen and frozen castles – basically everything you ever dreamed of doing with snow!
Snow Rush at Smaaash uses top of the line, international technology to create the snow and ice. Snowflakes are created using a method of crushing ice gradually and are set at a temperature of -4 to -5 degree Celsius, which is ideal than the usual -10 degrees as it keeps the ice soft for easy making of snowballs. The crushed ice along with fresh air is then blown out into the snow play area through a high-pressure blower to ensure enough air circulation. The insulated room is built with PUF panels that ensure the temperature is right at all times.

What you need to remember:Â
- Snow Rush provides winter gear but make sure to wear a warm tee and denims. For the kids make sure to wear socks and shoes.
- Snow Rush will give you gloves, shoes, and jackets. Gear is sanitised after each use. You are also welcome to bring your own winter wear.
- We would have loved for them to have better shoes. The kids seemed to slip a lot in the ones provided.
- Parents are allowed in. Make sure you keep an eye especially on children under 5.
- The more the merrier! Make sure to take friends with you to play in the snow.
- Snow Rush offers 20 mins or 30 mins of play. For your first time 20 mins is plenty.
- Make sure to acclimatize in the rest area before you go inside. This is very important.
