We loved Justins Christmas sing a long - a break from the cold and a joyous event.

I must admit we haven't been since the DC were small and found it a bit overwhelming! But they are rather more robust teens now and so maybe we'll give it another go. I'm sure DD2 would like to go ice skating, and DD1 will probably just want to mooch the stalls and drink hot chocolate. Perhaps the big wheel if we're all feeling brave!

Ice skating x

The scenic railway for us - slow and fun. Then pizza and ice skating.

Oblomov24 · 11/11/2024 17:58

I've been years ago and was so incredibly disappointed because it was utterly shit. It was just a cold and dirty fayre, not a good one, where you had to pay for loads of extras. Every year mn advertisers this and I find that hard to stomach.

The giant wheel looks like an amazing attraction to ride and see the whole site and beyond.

buckleycat1983 · 12/11/2024 08:25

Ice Mountain looks so fun & the variety of rides & rollercoasters are a great to keep it interesting for older kids! I'll try & sneak it a trip the firepit & a stroll through the Bavarian Marketplace :) Great way to get in the festive spirit!

DinkyDaffodil · 12/11/2024 10:48

Always the Ice Skating - the BEST family activity.

ButterOllocks · 12/11/2024 14:35

The big wheel for the views, ice stating - it's just so fun and Santa's Pub for a warm meal and drinks.

ButterOllocks · 12/11/2024 15:02

LittleDeeAndME · 13/11/2024 10:35

Love the aeronought starflyer - but the queues were so long last year - we also love the fondue and circus.

DenDenDenise · 15/11/2024 11:57

The santaland express train and jolly hog barbecue. 🍔❄

HobNobAddict · 16/11/2024 09:28

Apres ski fun house, and the big wheel.

DanBenandBud · 16/11/2024 14:32

Love the festive atmosphere (we were lucky to have a crisp clear starlit night) Ice skating and the Christmas music and carols.

youareonlyhereonce · 16/11/2024 16:32

It's not Christmas for us without ice skating !

Britanniaa · 17/11/2024 10:47

We love the skyflyer and big wheel - love the trill and view from these heights. The food stalls and mulled wine makes for the perfect end to the evening.

prawncocktailcrispss · 17/11/2024 17:15

The Circus megadome and the jolly hog BBQ, and of course santas grotto.

JacCharlton · 18/11/2024 11:21

The Bavarian Fun House, and the big wheel, food at Bob's Barn.

Ilostmyhalo · 18/11/2024 12:08

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 18/11/2024 14:45

Justin fletcher show

PinkyBlueMe · 18/11/2024 21:36

The ice skating - not actually me though - I can't skate and would be dangerous but both DC skate very well so I'd love watching. And a visit to Bar Ice!

PinkyBlueMe · 18/11/2024 21:38

P.s. tried to vote in poll but it's closed? I'd be going with DH and teens.
