The Late Edition

London's evening edition. Independent, updated daily.

How much does Winter Wonderland cost?

Entry is one pound off peak, five pounds fifty at standard times and eight pounds twenty five at peak, or nothing at all if you add twenty five pounds of rides, food or attractions to the same booking. Booking fees are inside those prices this year. Everything inside the park is charged on top.

The three entry tiers

Off peak is a pound and runs every Monday to Thursday through November, with half a million of those tickets on sale. Standard is five pounds fifty and peak is eight pounds twenty five, mostly later in the day and at weekends. You book a dated one hour arrival slot rather than a day.

The way to pay nothing

Add twenty five pounds of rides, attractions, packages or food to the same online booking and entry is free, which most people spend anyway. Treat the entry price as a deposit rather than a cost.

What entry does not include

Everything. The ice rink, the Magical Ice Kingdom, the circus and every ride are ticketed separately on top of entry. The bars, the markets, Santa’s Grotto and the parade cost nothing beyond getting in.
