A day out at Paultons Park and Peppa Pig World

During the last half term we decided to have a day out at Paultons Park. We have visited once before but that was when I was pregnant with Ophelia so Eva would have been around 2.5 years old. Eva is now 4 and Ophelia is 15 months old. Both girls love watching Peppa Pig so we thought this would be the perfect family day out.



We chose to go on the Sunday during half term. We had all our fingers and toes crossed that it was going to be quiet. It's about a 2 hour drive from our house so we booked into a hotel close by the night before so that we could arrive early the next day.

We arrived about half an hour after it opened and decided we'd head straight to Peppa Pig World and do as many rides as we could there. Ophelia had been asleep but woke up once we got into Peppa Pig World and I wish i'd filmed her reaction as she woke up. It was priceless. I think she thought she was dreaming. It was a mixture of sheer happiness, shock and laughter. 

The first ride we headed to was George's dinosaur adventure ride. Ophelia was so desperate to go on but unfortunately she was too small. Eva thought it was fab.




Most of the rides in Peppa Pig World were tame and both girls were able to ride on them. Their favourite ride was the cars. 







After about an hour both hubby and I needed a rest so we took the kids into the indoor play zone. It was fairly chaotic in there as it had just started raining outside but it was a great place to take shelter and let the girls run wild. 




The girls really enjoyed having their photo taken inside the nursery. Their faces were super cute. 

Once it stopped raining Eva had a play in the outdoor play area which she thought was fantastic. She could've spent hours there. 




We took a packed lunch with us so we sat on a bench and watched the penguins whilst we tucked in. There were plenty of places where you could buy food and drink but we'd chosen to bring our own. 



We'd been on everything we wanted to in Peppa Pig World so we then headed over to the other areas in the park. The last time we visited we hadn't managed to get around the whole park so this was a new experience for all of us.

We finished the day in The Lost Kingdom which is dinosaur themed. Hubby took Eva on a ride called the dinosaur tour and she hated it and cried. Whoops bad parents!!! There were a couple of thrill rides there which Arwyn and I went on. It was nice to feel an adrenaline rush after all the tame rides we had already been on.

The last ride Eva went on was a digger ride. There wasn't any queue at all so she must've rode it about 10 times. 



Overall, we had a fantastic family day out. There are plenty of things there for young children. They enjoyed all the rides and indoor and outdoor play areas. The wet weather didn't stop us having a good time. 

It's a great park for children of all ages. I think it's particularly good for younger children but if you have a mixture of older and younger children then there are plenty of more fast paced attractions available.



We were able to see and get on everything we wanted to that day but I think that's because it wasn't during peak season. If you are going to go during the summer months I would recommend getting a 2 day ticket. 



Here's our vlog of our day there so you can get a better glimpse of the park.



*Thank you to Paultons Park for providing us with day tickets in return for our honest review*

  15. I have three kids who have all gone through a Peppa Pig-obsessed stage (toddler still in that stage) but yet we have never been! It sounds fab and it's great you have the rest of the park to explore too. I think my middle child would love the dinosaur area. x

  22. It's looks really good! I haven't been to paultons park for many years before they had peppa pig world. It's quite close to where by parents live which would be handy for a day out. Will definitely add to the list for days out. X

  25. Ahhhhh our daughter just turned three and we were going to take her here for her third birthday but had to pull out last minute due to a family emergency. We were so gutted. Evie is OBSESSED with Peppa Pig. This post has just sold me again. We need to take her! It looks like you had such an amazing day. Evie's favourite would probably be the cars too.
