The second season of Winter Wonderland is going to start soon and there will be a bunch of changes this year. Last year, the Touristic Enterprises Company (TEC) was taken by surprise at the park’s unexpected popularity, but they are well-prepared for it this season.
Everything is bigger and better about the park for this season. Firstly, the physical footprint of the park increased by 40% which in return allowed the number of games to increase from 22 to 35 while also increasing the number of cafes and restaurants available.
The park will also be open for 7 months this year while longer operating hours that start earlier in the day.
The biggest challenge last year was the limited ticket availability. However, this year they’re making 15,000 tickets available for sale every day which should resolve the issue. The ticket price will also remain unchanged at 5KD but this year they will be sold through their soon to be released app.
They’re aiming to open the park by the end of September but depending on the weather it could be delayed to early October.

Mohammad lives across from the park and is constantly posting video updates on the construction with short entertaining videos.

Even though the ticketing system was frustrating, once I got in I understood how nice it is when slots are limited. The place appeared more spacious and orderly, without the hustle and bustle of theme parks (like Hawalli Park). I don’t know, maybe it’s just me but I would have preferred that they kept it the same as it’s way cozier. But I get they need to meet the demand. On the plus side, there will be more rides and hopefully they will be more diverse and different.
The biggest upgrade will be getting rid of those rip-off ticket resellers
