There’s a new theme park in town (well, central Florida). Peppa fans of all ages can now visit the world’s first-ever Peppa Pig Theme Park in Winter Haven, Florida.
This playful little theme park is perfect for “little piggies” and their families. Geared towards preschoolers, the rides, price, hours, and overall size make this a fun and manageable park day experience — unlike some other parks nearby which can be exhausting.
Let’s take a look at the details of the new Peppa Pig Theme Park to see if it fits into you and your family’s travel plans.
Peppa Pig Theme Park Overview
Mr. Bulls High Striker. Image Credit: Peppa Pig Theme ParkFor those unfamiliar, Peppa Pig is a muddy-puddle-loving cartoon character from the U.K. TV show “Peppa Pig” that has become quite popular with young children… and maybe some of their parents.
Although there is a Peppa Pig World inside of Paultons Park in England, Peppa Pig Theme Park is the first stand-alone theme park dedicated to the show and its characters.
Accessibility
One thing that makes Peppa Pig Theme Park unique is that it’s a Certified Autism Center.
What does that mean? The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) has given accreditation to the park as a Certified Autism Center (CAC). IBCCES worked with the park and staff to help create autism awareness and sensitivity training as well as the creation of educational in-park communications.
On top of that, the park developed a detailed Sensory Guide to help parents and children understand how a ride might affect each of the rider’s 5 senses.
Hot Tip: Since Peppa Pig Theme Park is part of the LEGOLAND Florida Resort, there is also the HERO Pass that allows handicapped guests and their families expedited access to rides.
Location
The 4.5-acre Peppa Pig Theme Park is within walking distance of LEGOLAND Florida Theme Park and LEGOLAND Water Park in Winter Haven, Florida. On-site hotels include LEGOLAND Hotel, LEGOLAND Pirate Island Hotel, and LEGOLAND Beach Retreat.
Located just about an hour’s drive from Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld Orlando, a day trip to Peppa Pig Theme Park could make sense if you’re already in town.
Tickets
Ticket prices vary slightly depending on the date you want to visit, but overall prices are quite reasonable — as well as the annual pass option.
Since this park is geared towards smaller children, anyone 2 and older must purchase a ticket:
- 1-, 2-, or 3-Day Tickets: Starting at $34.99
- Annual Pass: Starting at $74.99
You can also add admission to LEGOLAND Florida, which will bump up the price to over $125 for 1 day. The Awesomer Pass and Awesomest Pass include entry to LEGOLAND Florida.
Peppa Pig Theme Park is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., which is great for smaller kids. No need to wake up at 7 a.m. to try and get a Genie+ pass or feel pressured to stay until the late-night fireworks to get your money’s worth as you do at some other parks in the area.
Peppa Pig Theme Park is completely cashless, so be sure to bring your favorite credit card for theme park expenses.
Rides and Attractions
Peppa Pig Theme Park is broken up into neighborhoods full of play areas and rides for everyone.
That means there is no need for any child swap areas, as rides are designed for (almost) all ages.

Final Thoughts
Image Credit: Peppa Pig Theme ParkOverall, Peppa Pig Theme Park is a fun and colorful addition to the Florida theme park lineup.
Being geared towards little kids and families is a nice touch and should be a popular spot as some parents often find that other parks don’t have much to offer for younger children.
Add in the fact that it is quite affordable (especially in comparison to other Orlando theme parks), and Peppa Pig Theme Park may end up on your next trip itinerary.
