Peppa Pig World: Our Family Guide from Northern Ireland

What is every little Peppa fan's dream come true? Seeing their favourite characters and colourful world brought to life!

All three of my children adored Peppa Pig, and this adventure had been on our family days-out list for ages. Peppa Pig World is part of Paultons Park in Hampshire, but there is so much more here than we expected. It turned into one of our favourite family days out!

Where Is Peppa Pig World?

📍 Paultons Park, Ower, Romsey, Hampshire, SO51 6AL

Peppa Pig World is included with admission to Paultons Park—you don't need a separate ticket. Full directions are available on the Paultons Park website.

Important Information for Families

Tickets and Height Checks

💷 Children under 1 metre tall enter free and do not require a ticket. Children are measured while wearing shoes, so it is worth checking your child's height before booking.

Everyone measuring 1 metre or taller requires a paid ticket. Prices vary depending on your chosen date, and booking directly online in advance is normally cheaper than paying on arrival.

Opening Times

⏰ Opening dates and hours vary throughout the year, so check the official Paultons Park calendar before travelling.

Most families head directly to Peppa Pig World when the park opens. If your little ones can wait, explore another area first and return later in the day when it may be quieter.

Parking

🅿️ Parking at Paultons Park is free.

Toilets and Baby Changing

🚾 There are accessible toilets and baby-changing facilities around the park. We also loved the toddler toilet seats—such a simple but brilliant detail for families with young children!

Food and Picnics

☕️ There are cafés, restaurants and food outlets throughout the park. You can also bring your own picnic, with plenty of benches and green spaces where families can stop for a break.

Accessibility and Queue Assist

♿️ Paultons Park offers a Queue Assist Pass for eligible guests who have difficulty queuing.

This must be arranged and booked online before your visit using a valid Access Card ID with an accepted access symbol. Availability is limited, and passes cannot be issued when you arrive, so apply early. More information is available on the Paultons Park accessibility page.

Discovering Paultons Park

Paultons Park is easy to find, with a large car park and a short walk to the entrance. If you have booked online, you can take your tickets directly to the entrance.

One thing that surprised us was how much more there is to explore beyond Peppa Pig World. Paultons Park has over 70 rides and attractions set within beautiful parkland on the edge of the New Forest.

You'll find themed areas including Peppa Pig World, Tornado Springs, Lost Kingdom, Critter Creek, Wild Lands and the newer Valgard: Realm of the Vikings.

There are dinosaurs, animals, playgrounds, water play and rides for different ages. Newer attractions also include Ghostly Manor, Splash Lagoon and the Viking-themed Valgard area.

You could easily spend two days exploring the whole park!

Peppa Pig World: The Main Event

Peppa Pig World is full of bright colours, familiar music and gentle rides designed especially for younger children.

Little Peppa fans can:

• Visit Peppa Pig's house
• Ride in Daddy Pig's car

There are nine Peppa-themed rides in total. Children under 1 metre can enjoy the Peppa Pig World rides with a responsible adult, apart from George's Dinosaur Adventure, which has a minimum height requirement of 85cm.

Always check the individual ride signs and current restrictions before joining the queue.

Meeting Peppa and George

Peppa and George normally appear every day that the park is open, giving little fans the chance to wave, enjoy a hug or take a photograph.

Character appearances and times can change, so check the Paultons Park app when you arrive.

Our Overall Experience

This was genuinely one of our BEST family days out!

It didn't feel like your usual theme park. The beautiful grounds, family-friendly facilities and mixture of gentle rides, playgrounds, animals and attractions made it much more relaxing than I expected.

Peppa Pig World was magical for the children, but we were equally impressed by everything else Paultons Park had to offer. It is absolutely worth allowing enough time to explore beyond Peppa's colourful little world.

If you have a Peppa fan at home, this is one adventure they won't forget!
