Winter Wonderland London 2026

Enjoy the rides and attractions

This year, visitors can look forward to a spectacular array of rides, attractions and live shows at Winter Wonderland. Admire the London skyline from the iconic Giant Observation Wheel, or get a thrill on Munich Looping, the world's largest portable roller coaster. Kids will love circus performances including Gandeys K-Pop Dragon Circus – a brand new show for 2026 – alongside the Magical Ice Kingdom, where more than 500 tonnes of sculpted ice will bring Peter Pan and Tinkerbell’s story to life. 

Go ice skating

Keen skaters know that Winter Wonderland boasts one of the best ice rinks in London, and it's open this year between 10am and 9pm for 45-minute sessions. Visitors are required to select a time slot before booking, making sure to arrive at the rink up to 20 minutes before the session begins.

Please note that skaters must be aged three or above, and any children under 12 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Standard prices (booked in advance) are £17.05 for adults and £11.55 for children, but you can find a full price list on the Winter Wonderland website. 

Visit the ice bar

At Bar Ice, everything from the walls to the tables and chairs is sculpted from ice, with temperatures reaching -10ºC. Sip on festive cocktails while you marvel at your frosty surroundings, enjoy live music and soak up the incredible atmosphere.

Coats and gloves are provided to all visitors, but it’s best to wrap up in warm clothing before you arrive. Bar Ice is open between 11am and 9.20pm; each session lasts 20 minutes and a time slot must be selected in advance. You should arrive up to 20 minutes before your chosen slot. 

Explore the Christmas market

You’ll find more than 60 vendors at Winter Wonderland’s Christmas Market this year. Helpfully located next to the ice rink, this popular spot is packed with beautiful souvenirs, handmade crafts and plenty of food and drink stalls. Don’t forget to check out the Scandi-themed market square, which plays host to music performances and live demonstrations including a picture frame-making workshop. 

Tickets for Winter Wonderland 2026 are on sale now – you can book using the booking button on this page. While tickets can be purchased at the box office on the day, it's best to book in advance as they often sell out.

Every visitor must have a valid ticket to enter Winter Wonderland. Entry during off-peak times is free, but you will still need a ticket to enter the venue. Entry at any other time requires a paid ticket; standard entry starts at £5.50 per adult, and entry at peak times will cost £8.50 per adult. Each ticket is divided into one-hour time slots, and you must enter Winter Wonderland at the time specified on your ticket.

Rides and attractions come at an additional cost. Pre-booking is recommended, and if you spend £25 per person on attractions, rides or games when booking your ticket, you will be entitled to free admission. Alternatively, you can book a ticket package which includes specific attractions as well as credits to use on rides or games. 

Winter Wonderland is the perfect Christmas adventure for children and parents alike. Attractions such as the Snow Jet and the Apres-Ski Party Funhouse are aimed at children aged four and above, while teenagers can look forward to high-octane rides like Blizzard.

Meanwhile, in Santa Land, you'll find attractions suitable for visitors as young as two years old, including Santa's Grotto, the Elves' Workshop and the Jingle Bell Bistro – a food market designed specifically for kids.

Winter Wonderland is located in Hyde Park. The nearest Tube stations are Hyde Park Corner (Piccadilly line), Marble Arch (Central line) and Knightsbridge (Piccadilly line). However, since these stations are often extremely busy during peak times, you can avoid the crowds by travelling to other stations such as Bond Street (Elizabeth line), Victoria (Circle, District and Victoria lines) and Paddington (Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Bakerloo lines), which are all a 20-minute walk away from Winter Wonderland. 

Parking is available nearby at Q-Park Park Lane, Park Lane, London, W1K 7AN.
