Why children love it: A 1.5 km ribbon of lawns, fountains and flower beds in the heart of the city where kids can run and play, transformed by giant snow sculptures during the Snow Festival.
Honest drawbacks: An open city park rather than a dedicated attraction, so it is best paired with an event or the adjacent TV Tower; exposed and cold in deep winter.
