    Rides are too expensive and the same 6 stalls repeating around the place.

    The missus decided she wanted to go on a weekend when no trains were running at our local station so had to get the replacement buses. Then walked from charing x, took almost 4 hours just to get there. Wasn't exactly in the Christmas spirit by the time we arrived!

    Yep 18 quid to go on one bloody rollercoaster. More than half what it costs to get into Thorpe Park.

    I went once, never again. Was dangerously overcrowded and you couldn’t get near any of the bars/food places.

    A bit disappointed TBH not been for the last 2 years but when I came in 2016 it was alot more festive, seemed this year more fairground attractions than christmas stuff

    It's alright but nothing special, and expensive for what it is

    100% agree, went with the family a couple of years ago, was expecting a lot more, even my kids weren't impressed.

    It's a place for tourists, don't get why any Londoner puts themselves through it.

    One, I think. It's done in tokens, we quickly worked it out before walking on by.

    German beer tent is cracking. Cheesy europop, good laugh. Good beer. Rides are expensive. Street food is good. Christmas stalls are what they are. 
    Some of you lot really are miserable bastards.

    The high prices of the rides keeps the riff raff away 😉

    Had a fraudulent payment debited on my bank account from this thing. £102. Wtf.....I thought it was tickets to a London show.

    (Card now cancelled & replaced. Over one weekend they also spent £150 in JD Sports, £32 in Pizza Hut & another &120 somewhere else. All refunded by my bank)

    Instead of going there..Take the family on a day trip to Cologne...50 minutes on a plane, 25 minutes on the train to the city centre. S Bahn is located under the terminal 5 minutes walk from passport control. You can usually get an early flight and a late one home, book early enough with just an empty small case for goodies, job done.

    Anyone over the age of 14 that goes to Winter Wonderland needs to have a massive word with themselves

    Never been.  Liked seeing the videos of the lads scrapping and the security guards beating someone up.  Sounds like money well spent
