When is Hyde Park Winter Wonderland free in 2024?

By October 23, 2024 Article

Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park is one of London’s most iconic winter events, attracting millions of visitors each year with its festive atmosphere, thrilling rides, and holiday markets.

In 2024, Winter Wonderland will be open from November 21 until January 5, offering visitors a range of magical experiences, including the UK’s largest open-air ice rink, a circus, and over 100 rides. Whether you’re looking for a fun family day out or an evening of holiday cheer with friends, this festive attraction has something for everyone.

Entry to Winter Wonderland is free during off-peak times, which typically include weekday mornings and afternoons but you do still have to book. These quieter slots offer the perfect opportunity to explore the park without the crowds and save on entry fees. However, during peak periods, such as evenings and weekends, there is a fee of £7.50 for standard entry. Some weekend mornings offer off-peak prices of £5 so check before you go. Head here to book Winter Wonderland tickets.

For those looking to make the most of their Winter Wonderland visit, there are ways to secure free entry even during peak times. Pre-booking £25 worth of attractions, food, or rides in advance will grant you free access, regardless of the time you choose to visit. This option is ideal for families planning to enjoy multiple activities, as it offers better value while still avoiding the entry fee. Whether it’s riding the thrilling Wilde Maus XXL rollercoaster or experiencing the magical Alice in Wonderland-themed ice kingdom, pre-booking your favorite attractions is a smart way to make the most of your visit.

Winter Wonderland 2024 is set to be one of the most exciting editions yet, with new attractions, including an Alice in Wonderland ice kingdom and festive market traders debuting their seasonal delights. Open from 10 AM to 10 PM daily, the park is accessible and inclusive, offering features like wheelchair-friendly attractions and free personal assistant tickets for visitors with disabilities.

To ensure a smooth experience, it’s best to plan ahead, especially during peak times. Visit during off-peak hours to enjoy free entry or pre-book your activities to skip the fees and dive straight into the festive fun!
