Winter Wonderland
Overview
"For over 10 years, Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland has been spreading the Christmas spirit throughout London. The festival has become a landmark event for Londoners and tourists alike. With humble beginnings as an open-air Christmas market in Hyde Park, Winter Wonderland has since grown into an extravaganza with ice skating, shows, roller coaster rides, street food stalls, festive bars and live music. It is still free to enter the Winter Wonderland grounds and take in the joyous atmosphere. With over 100 spectacular rides and attractions, it is no wonder why thousands of visitors return to Winter Wonderland each year to celebrate the Christmas season. For 2017, Winter Wonderland is offering a dazzling array of activities and entertainment. Enjoy skating around the UK's largest open-air ice rink, have a deep sea adventure in the Magical Ice Kingdom, see thrilling circus shows, world-class ice dancing in Cinderella on Ice and see stunning views across London in the Giant Observation Wheel and much more."

Wheelchairs are welcome on the Ice Rink, there is a wheelchair accessible pod in the Giant Wheel and spaces in the Circus shows designed to accommodate wheel chairs. There is no ride-wide policy for the suitability of the fairground (token) rides for those with disabilities.

The individual ride operator on the day will determine whether the ride is suitable, for safety reasons, and how they will grant admission.
