Meet Peppa Pig
The best part of going to the world of Peppa Pig is that you can meet her! A meet & greet with Peppa Pig is included with admission, so be sure to check for the meet & greet times and don’t miss your chance.
Meeting Peppa is the highlight of their day when the kids get to give her a big hug and take a picture together to save the memory with a digital photo pass.
Grandad Dog’s Garage
This is one of the first things you’ll see when endearing Peppa Pig World of Play. Here, you can gas up and go as you prepare to explore the whole neighborhood. Cars, gas pumps, and even Mr. Zebra’s post van can be found outside, but inside, tools, workbenches, and a computer prepare your child to run the best garage in town, helping the citizens of Peppa’s world get back on the road.
Peppa’s House
If you visit the world where Peppa Pig lives, it stands to reason that you’ll find her house somewhere in the neighborhood. You’ll see her family car parked out front the instantly recognizable home of Peppa Pig and her family. When you enter, you’ll see an exact recreation of the house as it appears on television, complete with a colorful kitchen and a little living space with a television of its own and a goldfish bowl.
Muddy Puddles
Splash around through interactive muddy puddles with Peppa Pig’s family as you traverse through the World of Play. Peppa and her family will jump alongside you on a screen helping to create bigger muddier puddles. This is a favorite for energetic kids, and a great way for them to expend their energy.
The Theater
Like any good town, there’s a theater here.
It’s tucked between George’s Fort and Rebecca Rabbit’s Underground Adventure. The theater doors are open wide, inviting in anyone who needs a bit of space from other kids or the loud noises and voices of exciting playtime. In the theater, Peppa Pig episodes play, projected on a wall behind the stage. Comfy stools, chairs, pillows, and mats are strewn about for a comfortable experience for kids and the adults that accompany them.
Miss Rabbit’s Supermarket
Every town needs a market where residents can shop. Whether they’re just grabbing a midday snack, or prepping for dinner later, Miss Rabbit’s Supermarket is the best place for Peppa Pig and her friends to shop, which makes it a great place for the children visiting to play.
Complete with a cash register, shopping cart, and movable shelves of grocery items, children visiting the supermarket are able to maximize their imaginations for the ultimate game of pretend.
