Tickets to the UK’s biggest Christmas attraction go on sale today
TICKETS for London’s Winter Wonderland have gone on sale today for those already thinking about how they want to spend Christmas.
The winter attraction will run for six weeks in the capital’s Hyde Park, with a variety of attractions, activities, entertainment, food and drinks on offer.
Winter Wonderland‘s website promises a range of features, including “high adrenaline rides” and “family-friendly performances”.
There will also be “classic festive treats” and the “newest arrivals to London’s street food scene” as well as “cosy fire pit bars and mythical ice kingdoms”.
The website adds: “We guarantee there’s something for everyone. Make the most of your festive season in true Winter Wonderland style.”
The attraction will be open from November 17, 2023 until January 1 2024.
It will be open from 10:00am until 10:00pm every day between those two dates, excluding Christmas Day.
Families are recommended to visit in the mornings when they can explore Winter Wonderland at a leisurely pace.
When the evening comes around, the park is decorated by thousands of sparkling lights, with mulled wine, hot chocolate and steins of Bavarian beer on offer.
A ferris wheel and an ice slide are among the attraction’s most popular rides, while there’s also an ice rink for anyone wanting to try out some skating.
For those looking for something a little more high octane, there’s Munich Looping, the world’s largest transportable rollercoaster, the Aeronaut Starflyer, the XXL and the Blizzard.
However, for those who aren’t keen on big rides, they can watch other people getting thrilled with the Cirque Berserk show Tornado.
It promises to be an “adrenaline-fuelled circus stunt” show from a troupe of daredevils.
Winter Wonderland has been running for 15 years in Hyde Park.

Tickets are now available to book via the Winter Wonderland website.
