Hunter Valley Gardens is hosting a winter wonderland spectacular with an ice skating rink, snow play zones, and a snow slope for tobogganing, all in time for the school holidays.
Snow Time in The Garden will run from June 19 to July 18, with plenty of snow-themed activities and experiences to enjoy.
Hunter Valley Gardens general manager Srinivas Gopal said Snow Time in the Garden was like no other event they had held before.
“Each year, we see families revel in the snow and enjoy a range of thrilling and unique activities,” he said.
“After postponing the event last year, we can’t wait to see families enjoy this winter wonderland event once again.
“This year, the experience is more immersive than ever, including an extended ice rink with a dedicated section for those under six years old and skating aids available to hire for this age group.
“With our walk-through igloo, guests will feel transported from the Hunter Region straight to the Antarctic, and with the many snow-filled activities, attendees will feel immersed in an entirely different magical world.”
The event features an ice skating rink, a 45-metre snow slope for tobogganing, unlimited wristbands for rides, a traditional Venetian carousel, a teacup ride, a swing chair, a snow play zone, and a 25-metre Ferris wheel that overlooks the snow-covered grounds.
Visitors will also enjoy roving performers from 11am to 3pm each day and have the opportunity to walk through the chilled igloo filled with animatronic arctic animals.
After enjoying the winter wonderland, visitors can choose from the different food stalls available.
Hunter Valley Snow Time in the Garden will be open every day from 9 am to 6 pm from June 19 to July 18. For more information on the event or tickets, visit the Hunter Valley Gardens website.
