Running from November 2nd to January 6th, the Natural History Museum once again boasts its 1,000 square meter outdoor ice rink. The centered Christmas tree, featuring for the first time, as well as the array of 76,000 pea-lights draping the surrounding trees and the backdrop of Alfred Waterhouse's iconic picturesque Natural History Museum compounds a truly beautiful setting for one of the best days out this winter. The rink is located in the Museum's garden next to Cromwell Road, within walking distance of South Kensington station, making it extremely accessible while still maintaining a private and peaceful atmosphere allowing for enjoyable skating through its foliage and sunken positioning.
Peak ticket prices are £13.50 for adults and £9 for children, however family prices are available as well as cheaper tickets for off peak sessions, which I strongly advise as peak times can get overly busy and ruin the experience. Facilities such as a smaller training rink and penguin supports are on offer for children as well as a cafe where hot chocolate can be bought to help combat the weather.As well as the ice rink, you'll find yourself at the heart of London's museum district with the Science and Victoria Albert Museums within a 5 minute walk - the perfect place to warm up after a long skate.
