The Amsterdam Winter Paradise 2024-2025 reopens its gates at the RAI from December 18 to January 4, inviting you to an extended winter adventure that you simply must experience. Inside and outside, a magical mix of ice fun, magical light shows and winter festivities will be offered, with a clear focus on fun for young and old.
Those who enter the grounds are immediately captivated by a huge indoor and outdoor skating rink of more than 4,400m2, which in addition to recreational skating also offers space for curling and a special children's rink for children up to six years old. The combination of sports and fun takes on a surprising dimension in the Snow Paradise, where real snow is present for tubing tracks, a winter maze and even VR experiences, giving the festival a futuristic touch without losing sight of the nostalgic winter feeling.
For adrenaline seekers, there is a 400-meter long cross-country skiing course with shooting section and an ice race track reminiscent of a winter Formula 1. At the same time, the festival's fairground lake, with a Ferris wheel and old-fashioned merry-go-rounds, makes it a festive place to wander. The audience also enjoys live music by well-known Dutch artists in an après-ski village where the winter atmosphere is taken to its peak.
"The addition of an interactive audiovisual show, Symphony of Lights, takes the festival to an artistic new level, where art and technology meet in an enchanting spectacle that will stay with you."
With a wide range of winter delicacies, warm drinks and a welcoming entourage, this winter paradise goes beyond just a festival and becomes a meeting place where the cold does not get a hold of warmth and conviviality. In short, it is a place to become a child again, enjoy, amaze and make memories together.
