Wrap up warm as the experience is kept very cold at a cool -10°C.

Journey through the nine realms of Norse mythology as the Magical Ice Kingdom unveils its new theme for 2023. Crafted by an expert team of sculptors and artists using over 500 tonnes of ice and snow, Magical Ice Kingdom is an immersive exploration through a mythical frozen world.

This year’s unique experience invites visitors to discover a Viking Ice Village, meander through the Lands of Giants, Fire, and Ice, and features stunning representations of fantastical creatures and the iconic Norse Gods and Goddesses, with some carved sculptures reaching over five metres high!

Presented in a specialist temperature-controlled environment of -10°C, Magical Ice Kingdom is one of the largest ice exhibitions in Europe and a favourite for guests of all ages at Winter Wonderland.

The Magical Ice Kingdom is a walk-through attraction which you can stroll around at your leisure. The duration is approximately 30 minutes.

And afterwards:  gather for a coffee, lunch or mulled win at one of the many food areas, and wonder around the Christmas Market with its 100 traditional chalets full of gifts for Christmas.

Meet inside the entrance to The Ice Kingdom  at 11.15 for an 11.30 entrance.

The most convenient entrance is Edinburgh Gate, off Knightsbridge (Bowater House), and to then walk to the Serpentine Bar & Grill to meet up.

Admission ticket: concessions from £8.00 (off peak – which includes entrance to Winter Wonderland)
