Excel World presents the Coolest Place in Colombo
In keeping with the spirit of the upcoming festive season, Excel World will kick-start the holidays by bringing back its much-loved and iconic Snow World. After a three year hiatus, the unique ice-inspired space will be relaunched to the public in a new way by offering enhanced imaging, lighting and more. These innovative features will play a key role in transporting visitors of all ages to an icy Alpine experience reminiscent of Santa’s snowy winters in the North Pole. In addition to this, Excel World will host a “Festive Carnival” consisting of games and entertainment curated specially for the entire family.
With a footfall of 450,000-500,000 to Excel World since 2017, the number of visitors to Snow World averaging 1,500 daily and following its three year break, a renewed interest and increase in customers is expected this December. The space encompasses crushed ice which runs on 45 minute cycles and is refreshed every few hours to maintain a chilly experience. This season, ice-activities will include a frosty Igloo, Christmas Tree made from twinkling lights, a handcrafted Snowman, larger-than-life Candy Cane, live DJ, Photographer, Games and other holiday fun.
Snow World will be in operation from the 13th-31st of December with long-term plans of extending it to the public as a unique event space. From snow-filled product launches and corporate gatherings, to kids’ parties and even weddings, the venue entails endless opportunities for a one-of-a-kind icy experience that is offered only at Excel World.
Commenting on the re-opening of Snow World, Head of Operational Excellence – Browns Hotels & Resorts and Excel World, Devika De Alwis-Saelen said, “We at Excel World are pleased to play a pivotal role in Colombo’s seasonal festivities this year.

We have been diligently working behind the scenes to ensure we curate and bring to life a whimsical wonderland and we hope this creates wonderful memories for everyone who visits.”
