Meet Father Christmas at the free Santas Grotto at Winter Wonderland, when Hyde Park is transformed into a breathtaking festive landscape complete with ice rink, Christmas market and circus.
Santa Land
Located in the Santa Land area within Hyde Park, Santas Grotto at Winter Wonderland is free to attend, giving you and your kids the chance to get a dose of the festive spirit without having to dip into your pockets. Last year, Father Christmas gave away over 50,000 presents to enchanted children - but only to the ones who promised they'd been good all year, of course.
Christmas tradition
For many children and families, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a trip to see Santa to hear all about his life in Lapland with the elves and Mrs Claus. Making a welcome return for 2011, the Santas Grotto at Winter Wonderland is bound to draw in the crowds when it opens its doors for the extended festive period.
Picturesque setting
Set within the historic Hyde Park, the Santas Grotto at Winter Wonderland is surrounded by the picturesque Christmas market as well as the giant observation wheel. Visitors can also head to the big top for a festive show featuring Santa's favourite reindeer, courtesy of Zippo's Circus.

Ice Rink
For many visitors, the highlight of the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park attraction is the 1,350 square metres ice rink, the largest outdoor rink of its kind in the UK. Surrounding the Victorian Band Stand and lit up with 108,000 lights at night, the beautiful ice rink is expected to attract around 120,000 skaters over the 2011 Christmas period.
