We decided the Paddington on Ice and Mr Men and Little Miss shows were a bit young for our children. And then there’s all the other things we didn’t do. The above filled out a six-plus hour visit, relatively little of which we spent in queues. Wilde Maus XXL is our kids’ favourite rollercoaster And there’s more … (It didn’t work for me as I had to take off my glasses for the ride, but the kids enjoyed it.) And some of the more traditional rides offer VR upgrades, just in case the rides themselves aren’t thrilling enough already. We tried the Doctor Archibald ride, which offers an immersive – if slightly surreal – VR experience. What else did we do? Virtual reality represents the next evolution in ride-based thrills. But the performance included some great acts and offered a welcome opportunity to thaw out in the heated and spacious Circus MegaDome. Okay, there was no Hugh Jackman or Zac Efron. (Warning: it is Arctic-level cold in there!) We went from there to watch the Zippo’s Circus show. But my favourite thing of the day was the Magical Ice Kingdom that tells the story of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in the form of ice and snow sculptures. ![]() Now that our kids are a bit older (11, nine and seven), we spent our visit focussing more on the rollercoasters. At 70 metres high, this is the world’s tallest mobile Ferris wheel, offering spectacular views of Winter Wonderland and central London (Naturally, our youngest, Kara, immediately singled it out as her ‘must-do’ ride.) And kids of all ages, from 5 to 95, can enjoy the 70-metre high Ferris wheel, the largest transportable wheel of its kind in the world. Munich Looping, the world’s largest mobile rollercoaster, is the big draw for thrill-seeking adrenaline junkies. Munich Looping – five loops of thrills on the world’s biggest transportable rollercoasterįor youngsters, there are smaller fairground-style rides and you can take them to visit Santa’s Grotto. We arrived shortly after 10am and didn’t leave until 5pm – and only then because we wanted to have a proper sit-down meal and see the Christmas lights in the West End before heading home. Winter Wonderland is more than a brief diversion for a couple of hours. With over 100 rides and attractions to choose from, everyone will find something that appeals to them. This was our fourth visit in the last five years and the experience gets better every time.
