Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingChoose an early daytime arrival slot: the organiser says these periods are relatively quiet. The attractions and outdoor area close at 22:00, but attraction queues may close earlier when waiting times build, so late visits are a poor choice if rides are your priority.
EntranceAt RAI Amsterdam, use Entrance K. Bring the ticket for your selected arrival slot; late arrivals may affect access, and a private superficial security search may be requested. Bags must be no larger than 30 × 21 × 10 cm. Outside refreshments, bottles, cans, alcohol and glassware are not allowed. Check the venue’s current access instructions before travel.
PriceThe official benchmark shown for “Daytime Canals Cruise” is €15.50. No partner price is available for a direct comparison, so check the final checkout total and included benefits before paying.
DiscountsChildren up to and including 2 years old enter Amsterdam Winter Paradise free; bring valid identification. Children aged 3 to 12 can use the reduced child rate only for arrival time slots up to 2:00 PM, while afternoon and evening visits require a regular ticket. Every visitor must enter within the selected time slot, so children using free or reduced admission should still be included in the booking where required.
Planning your visit
Amsterdam Winter Paradise, also called Het Amsterdamse Winterparadijs, transforms RAI Amsterdam into a seasonal winter attraction at Europaplein. Amsterdam Winter Wonderland and Winter Paradise Amsterdam are useful alternative names when searching for directions, but the venue entrance is at Europaplein 24. The winter programme combines an Indoor ice skating rink with an Outdoor ice rink, while a Giant ferris wheel provides views over the site.
Families can spread their visit across active and relaxed areas: the Snow tube slide and Curling lanes suit energetic groups, while the Après-ski village adds food, drinks and evening atmosphere. The Winter cinema shows Christmas classics in a living-room setting, and a Cross-country skiing track, light displays and Live music performances broaden the programme beyond skating. Children up to 6 years have a separate skating rink, and gloves are mandatory on the skating rinks.
If you need an Ice skate rental, the venue provides skates at the rink, while visitors may also bring their own skates if they do not have sharp points such as noren. On-site lockers rental may be available for coats and bags, but the venue’s terms place responsibility for the locker key with the visitor. Bags must be no larger than 30 x 21 x 10 cm, and umbrellas, outside drinks and glassware are not allowed.
A Timed entry slot is used to spread arrivals, so an Evening ticket, Skip-the-line ticket, VIP experience pass or Attraction wristband should not be assumed to change the entry process unless the booking confirmation states it clearly. Metro 52 Europaplein stops by the venue, Amsterdam RAI train station is a short walk away, and RAI multi-storey parking is available for drivers. Winter opening dates run seasonally from mid-December into early January, with attractions and outdoor areas closing at 22:00 and queues sometimes closing earlier.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Entry is tied to a selected arrival time slot; arriving late does not guarantee admission, so a missed slot can make the ticket unusable.
- Leaving the grounds means you cannot re-enter later the same day, which can add transport or meal costs if you need to go outside.
- Timed entry does not bypass the entrance process: visitors may still be required to undergo a superficial security search and queue at the gate.
- Optional locker rental can cost extra if you bring clothing or bags that you do not want to carry, and locker availability is not guaranteed.
- The entrance ticket includes the listed activities and music programme, but fair activities where visitors can win prizes are excluded and may require separate spending.
- The available product is titled "Daytime Canals Cruise"; verify the final ticket description and inclusions before purchase because the title does not clearly describe an Amsterdam Winter Paradise admission ticket.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket, and does Amsterdam Winter Paradise have timed entry?
Yes, keep your ticket available on your phone for scanning at the entrance. Amsterdam Winter Paradise uses an arrival time slot, so you must enter during the slot shown on your ticket; you may stay until closing once inside.
Can I cancel my Amsterdam Winter Paradise ticket or get a refund?
Do not assume admission tickets are refundable unless the booking terms say so. Personal add-on reservations, such as curling, beer tables or VIP tables, are nonrefundable.
Should I buy from the official seller or a partner?
The official seller is the clearest choice when you want the venue’s own arrival-slot information and event rules. A partner is worth considering only when its checkout clearly confirms the same date, time slot, ticket type and inclusions.
What bags can I bring, and should I expect a security check?
Only bags no larger than 30 × 21 × 10 cm are allowed on the event site. Amsterdam Winter Paradise may carry out a superficial security search, so a skip-the-line claim would not necessarily bypass security.
What happens if I arrive late for my time slot?
Late entry is not guaranteed, so allow time for the entrance queue and security check. The entrance gate closes one hour before the event closes, and attractions and the outdoor area close at 10 p.m.
Do babies or young children need a ticket?
Children up to and including 2 years old receive free admission. Because Amsterdam Winter Paradise uses arrival time slots, follow the booking flow’s instructions for adding or recording a free child.
What is the main bottleneck inside Amsterdam Winter Paradise?
Ride and activity queues can close earlier when waiting times are long, even though the music programme continues until closing. The busiest practical pinch point is therefore joining popular attraction queues before they stop accepting visitors.
