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 ❤️

We visited here last week when the new part wasn’t yet open. It looks fantastic and we can’t wait to visit again in the summer x
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
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
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.

this looks like a lot of fun. Such great pictures. My two love Peter Rabbit! #KCACOLS
Peter Rabbit is a great theme for the play area there and it looks like it is going to be very popular with all that exciting equipment. #KCACOLS
Yes it is a great idea! I’m sure kids will love it! My girls were so excited even though it was not complete. Thanks for commenting Fiona, 🙂 x
My boys loved Peter Rabbit when they were little. Such lovely pictures, Franca.
I like the idea of a playground like this. Wish they had one here.
#KCACOLS
Thabk you lovely, 🙂 x
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
#KCACOLS
Oh Peter Rabbit! I love that show also my little girl Ruby… this sounds like a lovely place to visit in the future. Great Review! #KCACOLS
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
It would be great!! We are looking forward to going back soon! The farm is lovely, lots of activities to do with the family. Will do another post with more info about that! Thanks for commenting lovely, 🙂 x
This looks amazing!! My boys would love it here, definitely going on our must visit list. Thanks for hosting #KCACOLS xx
Oh this looks perfect for my girls. They are the biggest Peter Rabbit fans EVER! Wish we lived closer so we could pay it a visit #KCACOLS
we are much bigger fans of the books than the TV show, but that place looks like a lot of fun #KCACOLS
This looks adorable I would love to visit if I lived closer! #kcacols
Wow how fantastic does this look! I loved Peter Rabbit as a child and my daughter is a fan now! #kcacols
This looks a gorgeous place to go for the day and not a million miles away from us. Thanks for the review, I’ll add it to the list of places to go this summer #kcacols
This looks like such a cute place to visit! I love Peter Rabbit – and I know I’d end up spending a fortune in the gift shop! x #KCACOLS
This looks adorable! I’d love to take Josh here when he’s a bit older. Lovely pics xx #KCACOLS

I love Willow’s Farm. This new addition sounds very much worth a visit!
This looks super cute. Sadly my children are probably a bit old for it own but I imagine it will be v popular. Enjoy your 2nd trip. #kcacols lifeinthemumslane
Aw this looks lovely! I love Peter Rabbit and Beatrix potter. It reminds me of my mum because she wants a white duck like Jemima Puddle Duck! #KCACOLS
This looks like a lovely day out, I love Beatrix Potter and read my books to the children regularly. I thnk they would love it!

I’d love to take my niece to this! She has me read her a Beatrix Potter story every time she’s over. #KCACOLS
