But Winter Dream is magical during the day too. Romantic fountains, countless lights and a stunning Christmas exhibition transform Pantropica into a dream world that you’ll never tire of, even in daylight. Dance along with Father Christmas and his reindeer, meet the living Christmas tree and let your Christmas spirit soar to the beautiful sounds of our musical acts. At weekends and on Candlemas and Christmas Day, you can enjoy extra entertainment and atmospheric live music.
What if it snowed in the tropics? With that thought in mind, the curators at Pantropica set to work on the exhibition ‘Dreaming of a White Christmas’. Twenty extraordinary works of art bring the dream of a white Christmas to life. White orchids flutter like snowflakes, stalactites glisten like ice, and the tropics sparkle like never before. The exhibition brings together two completely different worlds: the warmth of the tropics and the magic of a white Christmas.
No Winter Dream would be complete without some winter treats. Warm yourself up with mulled wine, come and enjoy a delicious pastry or satisfy your hearty appetite with a sumptuous winter meal. At Pantropica Bar & Restaurant and at bistro ‘De Sakura’, the Christmas elves are ready to welcome you.
But there is much more to experience during Winter Dream, such as a cosy winter fair and an ice rink. You can also find these activities in our events calendar.
