Winter Wonderland 2022: how to get tickets to Hyde Park in London, ice skating, rides & food

London is set to be blessed with more festive cheer as one of the biggest Christmas attractions, Winter Wonderland, is set to return this week. The Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park is celebrating its 15th year this year, and has welcomed more than 14 million visitors in that time.

Being in the capital, it is one of the biggest Christmas spectacles around. It offers games, rides, food, drink and other attractions.. And, of course, would it really be Winter Wonderland without the main man, Santa Claus?

It’s the latest in a long-line of Christmas events in London, to give the capital that sprinkling of the festive season. Just recently, the Christmas lights on Oxford Street were turned on, with new energy-efficient lights dazzling one of London’s most famed streets.

With so much to do at Winter Wonderland, it’s highly likely you will not get to see and experience all it has to offer in one visit. There are many rides, food, drink stalls and more and it is what makes Winter Wonderland so special.

With many attractions and more, are there different tickets for entry, rides, food and more or are they all covered under one entry ticket?
