Peppa Pig World is a dedicated themed area within Paultons Family Theme Park, located near Ower in Hampshire on the edge of the New Forest. It opened on 6 April 2011 as the world's first Peppa Pig theme park, and visitor numbers to Paultons Park doubled – from around 500,000 to 1 million per year – in the year it launched. Designed for children aged 1 to 6, the area sits within a wider park of over 70 rides and attractions spread across 140 acres of parkland. The site is easily reached via Junction 2 of the M27, around 15 minutes from Southampton Central station.
The themed area features nine rides and play zones built around characters and locations from the animated series. The rides are designed to suit toddlers and young children, with gentle thrills and familiar scenery at every turn. The area also includes the world's largest Peppa Pig merchandise store, where families can pick up toys, clothing, and souvenirs.
Character meet and greets take place daily on the veranda in front of the school house, where Peppa Pig and George appear for photographs with visitors. Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, Zoe Zebra, and Suzy Sheep make seasonal appearances throughout the year. A special Peppa's Early Play Pass has been available, offering early ride access and personal character meetings before the general park opens.
Access to Peppa Pig World is included with standard Paultons Park entry tickets. Children under 1 metre in height are admitted free to the park. The pathways throughout the area are flat and tarmacked, making them suitable for pushchairs and prams; stroller hire can be booked in advance. Popular rides such as Miss Rabbit's Helicopter Flight, Peppa's Big Balloon Ride, and Daddy Pig's Car Ride tend to attract the longest queues, so families are advised to visit those first. The park has close transport links to Southampton and Portsmouth, and overnight hotel packages with nearby family-friendly hotels have been offered for families wishing to make a longer trip of their visit.
Yes. Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park opened on 6 April 2011 and is recognised as the world's first Peppa Pig themed area. Since then, Peppa Pig-branded attractions have opened in the United States and other countries, but the Paultons Park site in Hampshire was the first.
The area is designed primarily for children aged 1 to 6. The nine rides are gentle and suited to toddlers, though some, such as George's Dinosaur Adventure, carry a minimum height restriction of 0.85 metres. Older children also enjoy the wider Paultons Park, which has more than 70 rides and attractions across all age groups.
