Disabled visitors can book a free PA (personal assistant) ticket when booking their own ticket.Other useful information for visiting Winter Wonderland with accessibility requirements: The majority of attractions are accessible to wheelchair users, but organisers recommend contacting them in advance so they can accommodate you. While the organisers have made Winter Wonderland as accessible as possible, do bear in mind that once you're inside the site, the pathways are temporary, usually made from plastic paths placed over the grass. Is Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park accessible and wheelchair-friendly? Photo: Winter Wonderland So it's child-friendly, but keeping the kids happy has the potential to make quite a dent in parents' wallets. Kiddie skates and skate aids are available on the ice rink, and the Zippo's Christmas Circus show is 50 minutes long, ideal for kids' attention spans. Photo: Winter WonderlandĪ buggy park is provided outside the circus show as buggies aren't allowed inside the dome, but there are no other official pram parks at Winter Wonderland this year. If it all gets too much, there's a Santaland Chills Space in the Santa Land area, where younger visitors can have some downtime away from the bright lights and excitement of it all (and parents can use facilities provided to heat up baby food/bottles). Top tip: if you're heading straight for Santaland, go for the Red Gate entrance to Winter Wonderland (look out for signs as you approach the site).īeyond the entertainment, the Winter Wonderland organisers put in a solid effort at making the whole experience as child-friendly as possible, with plenty of baby changing facilities. The bright lights and colours, Christmas decorations and myriad sweet stalls make it something of a child's paradise.

Is Winter Wonderland child-friendly? Photo: Winter Wonderland Entry tickets are free at any time, if you spend £25 (up from £20 last year) or more on attractions or advance food and drink packages at the same time as you buy your tickets. If you're thinking that entry + ice skating + food + a ride or two for the whole family is starting to sound spendy, there's a way around it. December weekends tend to sell out way in advance, so get in quick if you're planning a visit If visiting in Standard times (weekend mornings, weekday afternoons), entry is £5 per person, and in Peak times (weekend afternoons/evenings), it's £7.50 per person. If you're visiting Off-Peak (generally, that's weekday morning up until mid-December), entry is free, but you still need to book. This is where things get slightly confusing - your entry fee depends on when you're visiting. Once again you need to book a ticket to enter the Winter Wonderland site, regardless of which activities you're doing once inside. Those changes have stayed for the 2022-23 season at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. If you went to Winter Wonderland last year, you may remember that things changed significantly compared to previous years, so that crowd sizes could be managed with the ongoing Covid-19 situation. Do you need to pay for a ticket to get into Hyde Park Winter Wonderland? Even if you're just browsing the markets, you'll need to book a ticket to get in. Top tip: look up whichever attraction you're heading to on the Winter Wonderland website the 'Quick Facts' box on the right of each page says which entrance is best, or which tube station is closest and this document (PDF) has that info too.
Plenty of signs and stewards will help you find your nearest entrance. There are multiple entrances to Winter Wonderland (map at the bottom of this page), although not all are open at all times. If you have accessibility requirements or are travelling with children, Green Park is your best bet as it has step-free access. The nearest tube stations are Hyde Park Corner, Marble Arch, Green Park, and Knightsbridge, though those first two in particular tend to get very busy. The Winter Wonderland site (and it's a MASSIVE site) is located in the south-east corner of Hyde Park - just head for the flashing funfair lights and big wheel.
