Located in London’s iconic Hyde Park, Winter Wonderland offers countless rides and attractions, spectacular family performances, delicious street food, Christmas market shopping, and so much more.
With no shortage of entertainment for the entire family, you can soar 70 metres high on the Giant Wheel presented by Disney+, travel through a mystical frozen world in the Magical Ice Kingdom, watch jaw-dropping aerial and acrobatic magic at Zippos Christmas Circus: Canyland, and skate around the UK’s largest open-air ice rink!
For a taste of all things North Pole and a chance to meet Father Christmas himself, Santaland is designed for the family to enjoy plenty of children’s rides and festive eateries away from the hustle and bustle of the main event.
