"Merlin Entertainments' opportunity to bring an iconic children's television character to life in a theme park is truly special. We're not only responsible for building this beautiful park but also for preserving the magic of Peppa Pig in this immersive experience for little ones. We are hoping families will create memories of a lifetime here," chief executive officer of Merlin Entertainments Fiona Eastwood said at the grand opening event on Feb. 28.
Tickets to Peppa Pig Theme Park start at $27.99 per person and include one free digital photo download and one free digital video download. There are also packages that include Peppa Pig ears and other collectible items, and annual passes are available for $99 per person. Children under 2 years of age do not require a ticket to visit the park.
Because the park is near other Melin-owned attractions, combo tickets that include admission to Peppa Pig World of Play Dallas, Legoland Discovery Center and Sea Life Grapevine aquarium are also available.
Peppa Pig Theme Park's Texas location has five rides, a water play area and loads of activities designed just for kids. Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster is a perfect first roller coaster for little ones but may even make parents let out a squeal or two. The other rides include Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride, Grandad Dog' s Pirate Boat Ride, Grampy Rabbit's Dinosaur Adventure and Mr. Bull's High Striker.
In between rides, kids can visit play spaces across the park such as Muddy Puddles Splash Pad (bring a swimsuit and towel), bicycle and tricycle trail, playground, Fun Fair with free carnival games as well as character meet-and- greets. Dining is available at Miss Rabbit's Diner with kid-friendly menu items like pizza sandwiches "muddy puddle milkshakes."
