Prepare to be dazzled by The Nutcracker on Ice

Expect to see all the beauty of Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet mixed with glitzy costumes and thrilling moves across the frozen stage. Catch a sneak preview of The Nutcracker on Ice below.

Enjoy an icy adventure on the rink

One you’ve watched the pros show off their skills, get your skates on as the historic Agrodome is turned into an ice rink! Extra points for throwing some shapes as you glide across the rink. You can rent skates at the rink or bring your own and skate for free.

If you want to take the thill level up another notch, try out an experience like no other. Spin, twirl and bump (safely!) on the Ice Bumper Cars to bring a whole new level of excitement to the rink.

Wrap up warm for a feast of holiday treats

There’s no better way to embrace the outdoors than being wrapped up in your coziest clothes with a piping-hot winter treat to warm your insides. Whether you want to skip straight to the big feast and indulge in a traditional favourite like roast turkey with all the trimmings, or snack your way through PNE fair classics like mini donuts, there’s no way you’re leaving the PNE Winter Fair with a rumbling tummy.

The outside entertainment doesn’t end with the tasty food and winter drinks, as festive performers rove around the grounds. You could cross paths with anything from sparkling acrobats to giant electric robots! Walk through the mesmerizing Polar Passage light tunnel and discover amazing spots to take photos and capture memories with your friends and family. And if you do want a break from the chilly night air, duck into the Winter Chalet and sip a hot beverage while enjoying some live festive music to celebrate the spirit of the holidays.

A festive feast for all the senses

Don’t miss out on all these experiences and more. We didn’t even mention riding through the glowing grounds on the beloved PNE Express Train or taking a ride on the Ferris Wheel or the Berry Go Round. And don’t forget to take the kids for a visit to meet the big guy himself in Discover Santa, an interactive journey to meet Santa Claus!
