Review of Winter Wonderland, Chester Racecourse

Ticket Prices
£5 adult
£3 child
12.50 family ticket (4 people)
The entry price to the winter wonderland is fair, considering that the tickets you buy act as season passes meaning that if you go again, you can get in for free, up until 5th January.

Food Outlets
A wide range of outlets, such as fish & chips, as well as European dishes like Goulash and Bratwursts. Freshly made donuts and crepes were amongst the desserts on offer. The prices for these were reasonable - for example £6.45 for fish chips and mushy peas. I opted for a bratwurst hotdog for £5, which seems pricey, but the bratwurst was big enough to share!

Attractions
Most attractions cost additional money, but there is a wide range of things to do - including an ice skating rink, a large fair and lots of christmassy themed attractions for children.

Review
Before visiting the Winter Wonderland, I checked out the reviews from trip advisor and most were not good, average 2/5 stars. Most of the negative reviews seem to centre around the price and the queuing time to see Father Christmas. With this in mind, i had already decided that my children would not see Father Christmas here! With this out of the equation,
