Is Winter Wonderland child friendly?

While there are many intense thrill rides at Winter Wonderland, there are also a lot of smaller fairground attractions that younger guests can enjoy. Young visitors can enjoy an ice rink and Santaland, where they can see Father Christmas. Lines are usually long for Santa land so do bear this in mind.

If you are heading towards Santa land, then the red gate is the best route to go through.

Accessibility and wheelchair access?

The red gate is the best entry to use, however, all entries are reachable and step-free using tarmacked pathways. Step-free entry is available at the blue and green gates, which are both near Green Park station. However, keep in mind that these gates can get quite busy during rush hour.

For visitors that require assistance, complimentary personal assistant tickets are available which allow a personal assistant to ride with you.
