Hyde Park has been transformed into a magical fairytale Christmas village which no doubt the Princess of Wales would approve of. It comes as no surprise that the Royal Family are huge fans of the holiday season and get stuck into many traditions.
It has been reported that Princess Kate, 42, in the past has taken Prince George along, but I think the whole family should visit this year as thanks to their newest attractions it would be the perfect family day out for Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis too.
Today (November 21) it officially opened its doors and will remain open until January 5th 2025. You can go during the day or at night, as its opening times are from 10 am until 10 pm - Monday to Friday.
Although the only day it is closed throughout the festive season is Christmas Day. The Express.co.uk were given a sneak peek before the public began to make memories to last a lifetime.
Despite the launch being the coldest yet, behind the blissful British winds laid a mesmerizing place that even Scrouge would find exciting. Here are my top four reasons why both you and Princess Kate have to take a visit.

Ice Slides
Winter Wonderland originally started out on a small scale, but over the years has gradually increased and has only adopted more of an enchanted charm.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Princess Louis would no doubt love the ice slides. Adults can join in on the fun too - as they have large doughnuts available.
You are now able to head down a crazy slide that is made from real ice in an inflatable.
As you climb the ramp you can take in the magical air with the lights twinkling around you. You then can line up and race against your nearest and dearest to see who makes it to the bottom the quickest.

There are many attractions which include ice sculpting (Image: Winter wonderland )
Christmas Markets
If Prince William wanted to leave Kate with the children to go ice-skating or on thrilling rides like the Snow Jet, the Princess may enjoy taking a mooch around the stunning stools.
The open-air Christmas market looks picturesque thanks to being displayed in small wooden huts.
There is a selection of both luxury and small independent designers gather to sell artisan cashmere, leather, jewellery, homewares, festive decorations, baby and children's gifts, toys and games, and artisan food and drink.
Santa Land and Rides
There is an entire section in the far corner that is dedicated to Father Christmas. Santaland bustles with family-friendly rides, attractions and activities, as well as a grotto with the main man himself.
Little ones will be left star-struck when they see St.Nicholas riding around in his car with a marching band making their way through the crowds.
However, if you are more of a thrill seeker then take then make sure you take advantage of over 100 rides and attractions from across Europe which include Munich Looping, Wilde Maus, and Euro Coaster.
Just make sure you do not miss out on the GianWheel, numerous live shows, including a circus and ice show.
Bavarian Village
Winter Wonderland is the perfect place to enjoy a date night in the capital as you are surrounded by bright lights and a feel-good atmosphere - maybe Princess Kate and Prince William might sneak in.
If you fancy a tipple and boogie while you are there, then look no further than the Bavarian Village where you can dine and drink while listening to your favourite festive classics.
There is also a range of different eateries where you can sit and warm up in front of an open fire, or get cosy in tipi indulging in a hot mulled wine.
Meanwhile, if you are a massive foodie, then take a look at the newest attraction - Voodoo Ray's bottomless Pizza Party.
You can take a well-earned Pizza stop by sitting down and warming up trying as many slices as you wish from seven delicious flavours of hot, fresh pizza.
