Wonderland Astana will open in the capital on December 1. The 2026–2027 winter season will feature an ice rink, snow slides, carousels and themed rides for residents and visitors.

The winter park is opening for the third year in a row. One of this season’s new attractions is a storybook railway with a train styled after the famous Hogwarts Express.

The site will have an ice rink of about 1,800 square metres and three snow slides, each 6 to 8 metres high, with runs longer than 50 metres. There will also be play areas and themed rides.

A themed station inspired by London’s famous King’s Cross will be built for the railway. Visitors will be able to take a short train ride in carriages designed to evoke the atmosphere of the Harry Potter films.

Warm indoor spaces, cafés, food courts and a grill area will be available. Organizers expect more than one million people to visit Wonderland Astana during the season.

The winter park will be open from 11:00 to 00:00 Monday to Friday and from 10:00 to 00:00 on weekends.
