You may have seen my recent post about the Easter Egg Hunt we did with the girls at Willows Activity Farm in St Albans. As part of our visit we had a little sneak preview of the brand new Peter Rabbit Adventure Playground that is now open to the public.
With an investment of over £1 million, the Peter Rabbit Adventure Playground has been under construction since last year. The playground is centred on the much-loved stars of the animated CBeebies series ‘Peter Rabbit’. It is the first Peter Rabbit themed adventure play area of its kind.
Entrance
Mrs Tiggy-Winkle Kitchen
Mr McGregor’s Garden
When we visited, the playground was not quite ready for children to play but we were given a fully guided tour and preview of the attraction. The new area will include ten attractions such as Lily Bobtail Nature Discovery, Mrs Tiggy-winkle Kitchen and Mr. Bouncer Great Invention which includes state-of-the-art sensory gaming play, musical instruments in Jeremy Fisher Musical Pond, as well as traditional climbing frame adventure play equipment. Visitors can spend time finding their way through the Garden Maze and exploring the Mr. McGregor Shed.
Peter Rabbit Secret Treehouse
They have incorporated a 100 year old ash tree into the playground as the Peter Rabbit Secret Treehouse, where children can climb and play! How cool is that? This is a a true tribute to the values of Beatrix Potter who was passionate about the natural world.
What do you think? Do you like the idea of a playground like this? Will you go and visit too? Are your kids fans of the Peter Rabbit books or the CBeebies TV show? Leave me a comment as I would love to know what your thoughts.
*Disclaimer: we were invited to Willows Activity Farm for a special sneak preview of The Peter Rabbit Adventure Playground and to also enjoy what the rest of the farm has to offer for the whole family, in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

Oh my gosh how amazing is that! My girls would go crazy as just love Peter Rabbit… I think it’s fab that they gave you extra tickets so that you could revisit at a later date now that it’s completed. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday xx
Mum in Brum says
This looks like such a fun playground – we are big fans of Peter Rabbit in our house! I’m surprised it’s the first of its kind considering how long Peter Rabbit’s been around. All of the different areas look like so much fun, my nephew would love it here! xx #KCACOLS
Amanda says
This looks brilliant, it totally brings back memories of the Beatrix Potter books I read as a child. The park looks like it will be fantastic, although I can imagine quite a few kids being scared of the big Peter Rabbit.
Lovely photos.
Amanda. #kcacols

Kate Tunstall says
This looks amazing!
My husband and I are very keen to get our daughter interested in being outside and being active – and so far so good on that front. She loves the outdoors (long may this continue), so this looks perfect for our family! Particularly as Pixie loves her Peter Rabbit book!
I’m definitely going to look into this as a trip for the summer. X

Ooh I saw this on their website and was wondering if it would be good, I’ll definitely be taking little one there for a visit. We went for the first time for their lambing event which was great and little man loved it, so this will be nice especially if the weather is good. Thanks for the informative review and for hosting x #KCACOLS
