You’ll have a chance to meet your favourite characters from the hit Peter Rabbit™ CBeebies TV show, including Lily Bobtail, Benjamin Bunny, Mrs Rabbit, Mr Bouncer and Mr Jeremy Fisher. As some of the activities can require a whole burrow-full of creativity, they’ll be on hand to help you around this 45-minute experience.

Kids will have five areas to test out their skills. The challenges and games will begin in Jeremy Fisher’s sensory pond, where little ones can use their senses to solve fun puzzles. This immersive zone is a firm favourite with families, and lets children splash, create ripples and interact with characters. Can you find the frogs and fishes hiding beneath the water?

The journey then continues through Mr McGregor’s garden and vegetable patch (watch out for the giant spinning carrots), as well as Mr Bouncer’s invention shop. After this, you’ll make your way to The Burrow, where you’ll need to help Mrs Rabbit set the table and prepare a tasty dinner for Peter Rabbit and the family. Make sure the pot doesn’t boil over!

Once you’ve hopped your way through these magical lands, kids will get a chance to join the Secret Treehouse Club and spend some time with Peter Rabbit himself, who will be only too happy to pose for some photos. You can also pay for professional photos and take them home with you.

With tons of music, instruments and activities for children to get stuck into, Peter Rabbit Explore and Play is a great experience the whole family can enjoy.
