Fadel Al Dosari, the CEO of the Touristic Enterprises Company recently revealed a bunch of details during an interview with KTV relating to the second season of Winter Wonderland. Here are some of the points I found the most interesting:
- Winter Wonderland will close on April 1st
- Work on Winter Wonderland season 2 will start immediately after closure
- Season 2 will occupy a 40% larger footprint
- Season 2 will increase the number of games from 22 to 35
- The number of restaurants and cafes will be increased
- Season 2 will be ready to open by September and will remain open for 6 months
- Season 2 operating hours will be longer and start earlier in the day
- It’s expected by the end of the current season, 600,000 visitors would have visited the park
- They’re aiming to receive 1.5million visitors next season and up to 15,000 visitors a day

So basically they are opening Shaab park again but 10x more expensive 😂
Shaab Park was 3.5KD per person, adjust for inflation say it’s 4-5KD. Winter Wonderland is 5KD so it’s the same price.
Did Shaab park ticket access you to all rides?
Depends on the ride some were included some you had to pay for.
It didn’t, you had to pay for every ride
PLEASE HIDE THIS COMMENT OTHERWISE CINESCAPE WILL INCREASE ITS RATE FROM 3.5 TO 5 HAHA 😀
Dear Customer,

He just woke up from his 10 year sleep
Hopefully they get the tickets situation sorted
I just wonder if its a Kuwaiti residence area, would they do the same? This park created lots of issues to area residents and unfortunately neither the park management nor MOI helped us. Our parking lots easily blocked by visitors and even when you call 112 for help, they don’t do anything. Beside loud music that we hear every night until 12 A.M, there is no point to live in this area anymore.
The park was always there so people who decided to live next to it chose to do so. I live in the old Souk salmiya, so I can’t complain about the noise or traffic or over crowding cuz I chose to live here.
I am living in this area since 10 years back. It was shaab park and very pleasant place. There was a big sultan center which we do our grocery. Nobody disturbed people of front buildings. Then they close it for 5 years, giving us just dust and with no grocery facilities around. Specially in covid time we suffered a lot. So if you live in souq, there is no music sound and nobody disturbed you with occupying your parking lot in your own building. think twice before replying to a post dear. Issue is: Why park management didn’t address to our emails and complains over phone? Why MOI dispatch center didn’t act when you blocked to enter or exit from your own building? Why police officers who are available on spot didn’t try to move cars with crane? Why any projects in Kuwait start very good but after a month they forget the simple handling of operations? In first days, police was very helpful and move traffic smoothly. Then they stopped and start ignoring
Leaving an area is not simple easy. You choose an area which is ok for you to work and get basic needs for living. Hope I could clear some points.
I’m guessing you haven’t been to the old salmiya Souq in a long time. There is loud music, people block the entrances and exits of our parking, we have gang fights downstairs, people screaming and honking constantly because someone closed on their car or a two way street became one way because a car parked on the side causing traffic. It’s annoying when it happens but I’m choosing to live here like some people choose to live next to a school or in your case you chose to live next to a park that wasn’t that busy towards the end but now got refurbished and became super popular.
I didn’t get the chance to go because I can’t find tickets…
