Opening times and offers during the holiday period and for New Year
Quickly wrapping presents, taking the last cookies out of the oven, decorating the tree - the days in the run-up to Christmas are usually pretty hectic. So a bit of recuperation and relaxation will do everyone the world of good. That's why the Olympic Park is offering a whole raft of activities for Christmas and New Year, including: swimming, ice skating, indoor football and much more. Or simply soak up the festive atmosphere and enjoy a leisurely walk ...
