Snowtime in Hunter Valley Gardens kicked off on Saturday, with families enjoying ice skating, tobogganing and a host of fun virtual reality experiences.

Each year, the spectacular attracts 55,000 visitors from near and far.

An exciting new attraction this year was the 9D virtual reality snow adventure.

The extravaganza will continue until July 22, so those interested should get in quick to avoid disappointment.
