Always feel at home at Paultons I've visited many times since I was very small and now I bring my children. The staff are all brilliant, the whole park and its animals are always well kept and there is endless fun at every turn.

Paultons Park is an amusement park located in the New Forest National Park, near the village of Ower, in Hampshire, England, with over 70 rides and attractions. The Peppa Pig World themed area is based on the children's animated television series Peppa Pig. The Lost Kingdom themed area includes 27 animatronic dinosaurs. The park name is derived from the former Paultons Estate, on which the park is situated. The park covers 140 acres of land and features a collection of around 80 species of birds and animals, in addition to the rides. Most of the theme park rides are designed for children and families, which is why the park considers itself a family theme park. The nearest railway station is Totton which is 5.64 km away from the attraction.[1]
The park is located on land on the Paulton's Estate. In 1269 the land was in the possession of the Abbot of Glastonbury, who sold it to John de Palton. The estate has since been named after him. The land then passed down to John Touchet, who in 1497 led a rebellion against King Henry VII; Touchet was defeated, beheaded and his lands confiscated by the crown. The lands left royal ownership in 1547, when the newly crowned King Edward VI gave the estate to John Paulet. This continued until 1780 when Hans Sloane inherited the estate from Hans Stanley, who changed his name to Hans Sloane Stanley as a sign of gratitude. The estate, now covering 3,000 acres (1,200 hectares), was modelled and designed by Capability Brown in the 18th century.
In 1979, John and Anne Mancey (parents of the current director, Richard Mancey) bought the derelict 500-acres Paultons Estate, restored the gardens and lake to their former glory and opened a fun park. Four years later, in 1983, Paultons Park opened as a country park and bird garden.
The theme park opened as Paultons Park and Bird Gardens on 17 May 1983. The park covered 140 acres (57 hectares), with four staff members and attractions featuring only an adventure playground, the Village Life Museum located in a converted barn, and the numerous birds and animals.
In 1993, the Runaway Train roller coaster was installed, becoming the park's first major ride. It was accompanied by a mirror maze and the Sky Diver the following year and allowed visitors to break the 400,000 mark in 1995. In 1996, the Tiny Tots playground was constructed along with a walkthrough tableaux entitled The Wonderful World of Wind in the Willows, following the story of the same name. The year also saw the introduction of Santa's Wonderland, an event in every festive season to this day.
In 1997, the Tea Cup Ride became another popular addition to the park, and the following year the Percy's Play Park play area and the Go-Karts were constructed, with the latter providing older children with an attraction.
In 1999, the park began expanding, with a new ride built most years since. In 1999, this was the Raging River Ride, the largest ride at the time and costing 500,000. For the new millennium, the Runaway Train ride was dismantled and replaced with the Stinger roller coaster. The Runaway Train was relocated to Dunes Leisure Park in Lincolnshire.
In 2006, the park was expanded when Paultons in the previous season of 2005, construction started at a cost of 2 million on Cobra, a Gerstlauer Bobsled coaster. This later became a difficulty for the park due to the lands status and legal rights, however, action only began in 2009. Paultons had shifted its ride investment towards the older visitor market, and to compensate opened the Trekking Tractors ride in 2007, in which children could see growing in progress with farming machinery around. The Crazy Snooker, Crazy Golf and Panning for Gold attractions, were removed, and replaced by Gold Rush Falls, consisting of new and re-themed Crazy Golf and Panning for Gold attractions.
2008 saw the 25th anniversary of the park. As a result, a traditional style ride was installed: The Sky Swinger, and the entrance plaza was remodelled. As the new ride would be built on the site of the clock maze, the clock was transported to the entrance plaza to become the centrepiece of a new side garden. However, the most striking part of the new plaza is a Kugel ball added to celebrate the anniversary. It is the largest in the UK, at 1.5 metres diameter and weighing 6.5 tonnes.
In 2014, the park began demolishing its old entrance to make way for a new gateway building consisting of the Big Toy Shop and Wildwoods restaurant. New Admissions and Guest Information kiosks were also built as part of the development. The park also added a new ride, a Victorian Double Decker Carousel, as well as that a new footpath was constructed along the main entrance.
In 2015, the park began a rebranding of various areas of the park. The area surrounding the Stinger and Wind in the Willows attractions was named Critter Creek and themed around the discovery of a number of whimsical animals and plants by Professor Stanley Blast. The Stinger was renamed Cat-O-Pillar to reflect its new half-cat-half-caterpillar theme, and Wind in the Willows was replaced by Beastie Burrow, a live insect and amphibian exhibit. A new miniature train ride called Professor Blast's Expedition express was also installed. A four-acre area encompassing the Rabbit Ride, Astroglide, Land of the Dinosaurs and Kiddies Play Village was also cleared in order to begin development of the Lost Kingdom, a dinosaur-themed land due for completion in spring 2016.
It was announced that Tornado Springs, a western-themed area, would be installed for 2020. There are 8 rides in this area including a Mack Rides spinning coaster, which is located next to the Buffalo Falls water ride, which has received an overhaul. In April 2020, the park announced that the opening of the new area and its attractions would be delayed until 2021, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that had halted all work with contractors and placing the park's operating season in jeopardy.[3] The area eventually opened in April 2021, and Farmyard Flyer, a junior coaster opened in April 2022 as part of Tornado Springs.
Paultons Park have submitted an application to confirm the lawful use of land to the west of existing attractions Cobra and The Edge as 'amusement park', indicating a future attraction is planned for this area.[10]
In 2009, Paultons Park were told they may have to move two of their biggest rides (The Cobra and Edge) after an application to grant them retrospective planning permission was turned down by the national park planning committee by seven votes to five. The area where these rides were situated is designated 'Country Park' and not 'Amusement Park' in planning terms, whereas all other areas of the park are now recognised as an amusement park and therefore have permitted development rights.
After a separate application (for the Cobra only) was made it was announced on 22 December 2009 that The Cobra (The park's biggest ride) had now been granted retrospective permission and could remain in its current location.
A Birthday treat, for my now 6 year old, last weekend was a visit to Paultons Park Family Theme Park home of Peppa Pig World. We have visited the theme park before and my son always prefers somewhere familiar.
We were lucky to visit on a warm and sunny day in September and managed to make use of the splash park which the kids were thrilled about. Also in Peppa Pig World is an indoor soft play area and an outdoor playground. My kids are always full of energy so having places they can run around between rides is brilliant.
It would be easy to spend the whole day in Peppa Pig World but the Theme Park has so much more to offer. The Lost Kingdom has a number of lifelike anamatronic dinosaurs which the kids thought were amazing. My 3 year old was in awe of the T-Rex whilst my eldest was a bit scared and kept his distance. There is a lovely dinosaur themed playpark and we really enjoyed the Dino Tour Co. ride. Older children can find larger rides and attractions in the Lost Kingdom.
The theme park was busy with lots of people. While the kids coped well with this it is worth exploring the gardens for a bit of quiet time away from the crowd. There are some lovely gardens including bird avaries in the middle of Paultons Park. There is also a Discovery Trail which is a lovely walk through a wooded area with a few things to spot along the way.
There is a well equipped changing places facility near the entrance of the theme park. It includes an automatic height adjusting changing table and mobile hoist. You need the code to access it which is available from the First Aid Centre. When we got our Queue Assist Pass they stamped the code for the changing places facility on the pass.
We're delighted to announce an extension of our partnership with Paultons Park to introduce new functionality into their guest-facing app. The update, expected to go live in the next few weeks, will support the park in implementing social distancing measures and help them to re-open safely once government guidance allows.
There was a lot of care by the host to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible, there was a parking space right by the front door and access was by a key safe so you can arrive at any time you like, which was great for us. 006ab0faaa
