Tips & Christmas Wonderland 2023 Tickets

Tips & Christmas Wonderland 2023 Tickets

Christmas Wonderland is a wonderfully festive fair to visit in December with family and friends.

To enjoy the experience, one tip we have is to go prepared to enjoy the atmosphere with the music in the air and beautiful lights. Don’t expect to power through the attractions. Instead, take the time to stop, linger and savour the spirit of the holiday season. 

We would also recommend coinciding your visit with Garden Rhapsody and Blizzard Time. It is a magical part of the experience. 

You should be prepared to spend on some food, rides or games when visiting Christmas Wonderland. Take it as part of the experience and a time to have a treasured experience with friends and family. 

Lastly, you should be sure to purchase your Christmas Wonderland 2023 tickets before arriving at the gates. You will find a large crowd gathered outside the entry lanes. These will be people who haven’t bought the tickets yet and are trying to purchase them just before going in.

If you buy your tickets in advance, you can go straight to join the screening queue to get in. 

If you are worried about the weather, you can wait till closer to the time that you plan to go to buy your tickets. But you can purchase them as you make your way to the entry point. You don’t need to purchase them AT the entry point. 

You can get your Christmas Wonderland 2023 tickets from Trip.com, the official ticketing partner.
