WINTER WONDERLAND 2016

Visit  Hyde Park to celebrate 10 years of Winter Wonderland. Prepare to be dazzled by lots of new festive activities to join the old favourites – they’ll be sure to get you into the Christmas spirit.


The Ice Rink is the largest open air ice rink in the UK, set around Hyde Park’s Victorian bandstand under a canopy of sparkling lights.

Open from 10am – 10pm, stretch out and practise your skating moves during a crisp morning skate. Enjoy the afternoon sun as it glistens on the ice, soak up the romantic atmosphere at twilight, or skate after dark under the stars.
Start the coming winter season with some fun skating. Come along for a spin with your friends or bring that special someone for a romantic date and glide hand-in-hand around the ice. It’s a great family activity which the kids will love and ideal for all ages and abilities, whether you’re a complete beginner or are looking to improve your skills on the ice!
Live music from the bandstand provides a backdrop to your skate throughout the day. Or if skating’s not your thing, enjoy a hot chocolate or festive drink from the spectator’s platforom. 





The Magical Ice Kingdom Look out for icebergs, a shipwreck trapped in an arctic ice floe and explore a lost island in search of the Palace of the Polar Bears. On your way, go fishing with the Inuits, take refuge in an igloo, and have your photo taken with a giant polar bear.
Created from over 500 tonnes of ice and snow, The Magical Ice Kingdom is filled to the brim with awe-inspiring snow and ice sculptures.


To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hyde Park Winter Wonderland this year,  are thrilled to announce a brand new attraction. 




Following sold-out seasons at the Royal Albert Hall and several world tours, The Imperial Ice Stars, will bring their dazzling production of The Nutcracker on Ice to the UK’s no.1 Christmas destination.
In a show especially created for Winter Wonderland, get ready to experience 60 minutes of pure joy and ice magic. As midnight strikes on Christmas Eve, a young girl’s Christmas present comes to life, sweeping her to a world of enchantment and wonder where she meets many colourful characters including the Mouse King, the Nutcracker Prince and, of course, the Sugar Plum Fairy.


Bar Ice
This year there will be two bars, stunningly sculpted out of ice. Included in the price is a complimentary cocktail, served in your own ice glass.  Choose from a delicious range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from the Festive Cocktails Menu. Additional cocktails can be purchased at the bar.
On arrival you’ll be handed a cosy winter cloak and gloves to keep you warm, as you enter the sub-zero environment.
Whatever the occasion, Bar Ice provides a unique setting for enjoying the festive season.



Zippo's Christmas Circus

The show is fun-packed from start to finish and, at approximately 45 minutes, is the perfect length for the little ones.
There will be laughs and gasps aplenty in the Mega Dome, the biggest circus venue in the UK standing. Snuggle up from the cold in the heated tent and why not enjoy some popcorn, candy floss or a marshmallow-topped hot chocolate from the treats in the foyer? 







Giant Observation Wheel Sit back, relax and enjoy the peace of being high above Hyde Park while watching the festivities below.

Take an early morning flight and see for miles, or come for an evening treat and see Winter Wonderland illuminated with thousands of twinkly lights below!
Take time out to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or special occasion. This gentle ride is perfect for celebrating with all the family, while enjoying a bird’s eye view over Winter Wonderland. 





Cirque Berserk takes their acts to new heights!

This year Cirque Berserk presents LEGEND! In a mythical realm where earth, air, fire and water collide, the magical creatures of Legend are assembling for a spectacular final confrontation with malevolent forces.
Be amazed by this daredevil show with off-the-scale stunts and acrobatic agility that will leave you gasping.  With its full-throttle energy it’s a show you won’t forget!
Performed in the largest circus tent in the UK, the Megadome offers theatre-style comfort and a heated environment to keep you warm while you enjoy the show!
