Paul, the organiser, wants to welcome everyone to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Ice Rink – the top spot in London for a bit of winter magic. Nestled by Hyde Park's iconic Victorian bandstand, it's the UK's largest open-air ice rink and perfect for anyone eager to embrace the festive spirit.
Whether you're a skating pro or just love the idea of gliding on ice, there's a session for both adults and kids. It's a great time for families and friends to come together and make some lovely winter memories.
If you're up for a bit more excitement, don't miss the Real Ice Slide. Grab a helmet and a rubber ring, and zoom down this thrilling slide. Paul assures it's a load of fun and laughter for everyone.
After all the action, chill out (literally) in the Bar Ice. This spot, all made out of ice, throws it back to the 80s with an après-ski theme, festive cocktails, and DJ beats. Just a heads up, you need to book in advance for this one.
For young families, the Santaland Unlimited Ride Pass is a winner. With it, you can enjoy over 15 rides as many times as you like, and entry is included. It's a fab way to make the most of Winter Wonderland.
Don't forget to catch Cirque Berserk: Tornado Show. This high-energy performance with jaw-dropping stunts is a treat for adrenaline junkies aged 12 and up.
For stunning views of London, hop on The Giant Wheel. Standing 70 metres tall, it offers breathtaking perspectives of the city skyline – definitely not your average ferris wheel.
Fancy a bit of circus fun? Zippos Christmas Circus has got you covered with its packed acrobatic and comedy routines. Shows run throughout the day in the UK's largest tent, so there's plenty of opportunities to catch this spectacle.
If you're peckish, head to Le Chalet Fondue. Paul recommends this cosy spot for its Swiss-inspired fondue and charcuterie, with options for the whole family.
Feeling creative? Join the Ice Sculpting Workshops. Guided by expert ice artists, you can craft your very own sculpture and also explore the Magical Ice Kingdom, a fantasy world carved from over 500 tonnes of ice and snow.
Planning a Christmas bash or an end-of-year do? Paul has sorted out two event packages to ensure your celebration hits the mark.
For thrill-seekers, the Wilde Maus roller coaster offers classic twists and turns that are bound to get your heart racing. And if you're looking for even more of an adrenaline rush, the Munich Looping coaster, with its five sky-high loops, is a must. For a slightly gentler ride, the Euro Coaster gives a thrilling experience that suits all ages.
Paul hopes everyone enjoys Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Ice Rink – it's the perfect spot for a magical winter adventure filled with fun and excitement. Whether you're an experienced skater or a novice, there's something here for everyone.
