From ice skating to fire shows, here's what you can expect
Now that the days are getting shorter and the winter chill is setting in, Bobbejaanland is getting a whole new look. For the first time, the park is hosting Bobbejaan Wintert, a winter event that sees the entire park decked out with thousands of lights, atmospheric Christmas trees and even an ice rink.

Wintry activities for young and old
During Bobbejaan Wintert, there are all sorts of extra activities to enjoy throughout the park. You can lace up your skates on Lake of Frost, a real ice rink right in the middle of the park. Fancy something a bit more active without the slippery ice? At Glacier Bay you can whizz down the tyre slide.
There's plenty to discover indoors too. In Land of Fire & Ice you wander through a maze full of mirrors, while in Snow Valley you can warm up by a crackling winter fire. With live music in the background, it feels like a cosy Christmas market, but right in the heart of Bobbejaanland. Good to know: all activities are included in your admission ticket.
Extra winter entertainment
The entertainment programme has also been expanded especially for Bobbejaan Wintert. The Wintercircus is performed twice a day in the Arena. This show of around 45 minutes is packed with music, humour and acrobatics, and is ideal for warming up for a while.
You can also meet De Droomers van Droodal in Show Valley. These remarkable characters put on a short show every hour. In the mood for some extra spectacle? From 4pm, Land of Fire & Ice becomes the setting for an impressive fire and light show, a real finale to your wintry day at the park.
