Make an evening of it with a stroll under the lights and a drink in our undercover Alpine Bar, then add on a skate, a visit to Santa's Grotto or a ride on the Festive Funfair.

⛸️ GET YOUR SKATES ON! 🎄

Rain or shine, the festive fun carries on at our Undercover Real Ice Rink, so you can glide (or wobble!) your way into Christmas whatever the weather ✨

We've got more skates than ever this year, and they're all included in your ticket price, though you're welcome to bring your own too. Each session lasts 45 minutes, and penguin skate aids are on hand for younger skaters who'd like a helping flipper 🐧

Alongside all the fun, the giant Christmas tree in our ice rink area becomes our memory tree, a special place to remember loved ones at Christmas. Bring your own tag to hang for free, or pick one up on the day with a donation to charity ❤️

We're open daily from Friday 20th November to Sunday 3rd January (closed Christmas Day).

Sessions sell out fast, so book yours now at exeterwinterwonderland.co.uk
