04 · The parks

What each one is.

Paultons Park

Paultons Park is a family-focused theme park in Romsey, Hampshire, best known as the home of Peppa Pig World - the world's first Peppa Pig themed area. Beyond the preschool rides, the park also runs bigger attractions in its Lost Kingdom dinosaur land (Flight of the Pterosaur) and Tornado Springs (Storm Chaser, Cyclonator), giving it genuine appeal for older children as well as toddlers.

Paultons is compact, so queue times concentrate on a handful of headline rides rather than spreading across a huge line-up. Arrive at opening to knock out Peppa Pig World first (it builds up fastest), then work outwards. Check our live wait times before committing to the longest queues and use the crowd calendar to avoid peak school-holiday days.
