London's Hyde Park Winter Wonderland has become an annual must see festive destination in capital, and the atmosphere is truly magical for both children & adults. Winter Wonderland 2014 at London's Hyde Park is now open for the next 6 weeks of festive fun! It will be open every day from 10am to 10pm until 4th January so arrive early and let the 2014 festivities begin! Check out our video My personal favourite part is the Famous Bavarian Village for a little taste of festive Bavaria. Ze Germans create such an evocative atmosphere that is just so enchanting at Christmas it is a style that has gone global. This ever popular destination offers bratwurst, beer and bands aplenty, providing the perfect destination to gather with friends. I had to have a little of the German icon that is Currywurst while its available here in Hyde Park London! Hyde Park Winter Wonderland provides a spectacular festive destination with something to excite people of all ages. Choose from one of the popular attractions, experience the thrilling rides, take a trip to Santa Land, browse the Christmas markets and enjoy the festive food & drink. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is FREE to enter, so you can soak up the festive atmosphere without spending a penny, however the attractions are not free so check the website for prices and to pre book tickets to avoid disappointment on your trip. You can book tickets for ICE SKATING, THE MAGICAL ICE KINGDOM, ZIPPOS CIRCUS, THE GIANT WHEEL and BAR ICE. Ice skating is one way to experience the essence of Hyde Park Winter Wonderland as you don skates and glide around the spectacular, glittering ice rink. The rink is set around a Victorian bandstand and illuminated with over 100,000 lights, the Ice Rink provides a truly magical setting for ice skating. Open from 10am until 10pm, glide on the ice in the brilliant winter sun or after dark to skate under the stars. Booking in advance is highly recommended as ice skating sells out quickly! Enter the Magical Ice Kingdom, an awe-inspiring walk through fantastical world of real ice and snow. The largest of its kind in the UK and created especially by Winter Wonderland, young and old will be enchanted by this kingdom of ice, full of fairytale magic! Make sure you wrap up warm, the Magical ice Kingdom is a real Arctic experience with temperatures of -8 degrees centigrade. Zippos Circus shows are performed this year in the new Mega Dome, the newest and biggest circus tent in the UK, which offers a warm and comfortable theatre style atmosphere. Choose between Zippos Christmas Circus, a colourful daytime show for all the family, and Cirque Berserk’s new thrill show ‘MECHANIKA’ full of sensational feats of danger for the evening crowd. Take a ride on the Giant Observation Wheel that soars 60 metres into the London sky in the comfort of an enclosed pods. Experience spectacular 360˚ panoramic views over Winter Wonderland and London beyond. On my trip the one thing all the children seemed captivated by were the funfair rides. There are not only rides for those who like to feel the rush of adrenalin, there are funhouses, ghost rides, and plenty of fun, playful & charming young children’s rides. See young ones’ faces light up as they meet Santa himself in his famous grotto (For free on a first come first seen basis). Explore the Santa Land, see Father Christmas's workshop, meet the elves or ride on the Santa Express. A magical experience with children’s rides, games, eateries and Santa himself! In the heart of Santa Land you'll find Santa and his elves waiting to meet you. Santa opens his grotto every day from 10am to 6pm. The Christmas Markets give you a huge choice across more than 200 fairylit Bavarian style wooden chalets stalls. You're sure to find all you need for the festive season. You’ll find plenty of gift ideas to inspire you with an array of beautiful jewellery, accessories, clothing, handmade crafts, traditional Christmas decorations and more! Make sure you go to Winter Wonderland hungry as there’s a huge selection of tasty festive food that I could not resist! And warm yourself up with a festive drink, from luxurious hot chocolates to spiced mulled wines. Its a great place to meet with groups of friends for a drink & a bite to eat over the festive season.
