Winter Wonderland opened on November 21, 2024 and runs until January 5, 2024.

After opening night, it will be open every single day from 10am until 10pm.

The festive attraction used to be free to enter, but this year punters will have to pay for timed tickets during peak times, as well as some of the extra activities.

The attraction opens its gates at 10am and closes them at 10pm, with last entry at 9.30pm.

It is open every day from November 19, 2021, except Christmas Day.

How to get to Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is held in London's Hyde Park every year.

Thankfully its central location means it is very easy to get to.

The nearest London Underground stations are Bond Street, Green Park, Knightsbridge, Marble Arch, Hyde Park Corner, and Victoria.

If you're arriving by mainline train, you need to head to Paddington, Victoria or Marylebone for the shortest walk.

There are also multiple bus routes that can get you there.

Peak times tickets are £7.50 each and are from 1pm onwards every day, and all day Friday to Sunday.

Tickets must be bought in advance, and it is a good idea to book ahead for the main attractions as well.

Not only does this guarantee a slot, but, if bought in the same transaction, your ticket cost will be deducted from the final amount.

This means you will get free entry when you spend £25 or more on any attractions, rides, games, food or drink booked before you go.
