Winter Wonderland is Coming to Glenelg!

Get your skates on, Winter Wonderland is coming to Glenelg and ice skating is just the tip of the iceberg! A magical winter oasis in the heart of Glenelg will be the perfect treat for all those excited little ones who are yearning for some holiday activities regardless or rain, hail or shine. The sheltered, windowed marquee with views of the beach will play host to a range of activities, such as Figure skating demonstrations and ice shows, which are scheduled on the weekends! Kiddos with a need for speed will also love the super-fast fun, which comes with a scoot down the 25m toboggan track! Watch as the kids faces are in awe of the cool, 450sqm beachside ice rink, which will be created over 3 days using 10,000 litres of water frozen using 4km of specially-laid refrigeration piping. This space will allow for a capacity of 150 people per session leaving plenty of room for excited guests who don’t want to spend too long waiting in line. It can be hard finding entertainment for kids during winter, but Glenelg wont leave you out in the cold! This affordable family experience is just the beginning. Schedule in a trip to Winter Wonderland and make a day of it! Head to the movies, out for a shop, off to The Beach House for a ride on the dodgem cars or have a play in the foreshore playground.
