Hooray!  You’re going to Peppa Pig Theme Park!  Our Peppa Pig Theme Park tips will help your trip go as smoothly as possible.  We’ll tell you what to pack and what you can leave at home.  We’ll also suggest which rides to go on first, and share some insider tips.  If you wanted to, you could easily tack add on a day or two at Legoland Florida, since the two parks are located directly next to each other.

What is Peppa Pig Theme Park?

The Peppa Pig Theme Park opened, which opened in 2022, is Florida’s newest theme park attractions.  The sensory-friendly park is perfect for your toddler or pre-schooler.  The park has 5 oink-tastic rides, several play spaces, a splash pad, and other kid-friendly attractions.  The park can easily be paired with Legoland Florida, which shares the same parking lot.

Peppa Pig Theme Park Tips

Arrive Early

Like most theme parks, it’s best to arrive at the park early.  This way, you not only get the most bang for your buck, but you also beat a lot of the crowds.  When we visited Peppa Pig Theme Park, we arrived just before the gates opened.  After only 1.5 hours, we were able to do all of the rides that the park has to offer!  We noticed that Peppa Pig Theme Park seems to have a later crowd, by the time we left, the lines were long and the walkways were pretty busy.

Ditch the Stroller

Probably one of our most the most unconventional of our Peppa Pig Theme Park Tips, is to ditch the stroller.  Believe it or not, the park is actually quite small!  We brought our stroller to the park and didn’t end up using it at all!  We found that it was easier for us to park it in one place rather than continuously move it around.  We ended up parking our stroller in a central location (the Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster ride) and just went back to the stroller whenever we needed to grab something.

Our advice is to either leave it behind or park it and use it to store your belongings.  

Pack Your Own Snacks & Drinks

The park allows you to bring in your own food and drinks.  If your visiting during the warmer months, be sure to pack plenty of water! We bought these snack containers for when we travel and have found that they work great for our family!

Some of the snacks we pack for theme parks include:

  • Fruit snacks
  • PBJs (Uncrustables work great!)
  • Peanut Butter Crackers
  • Muffins
  • Rice Cakes
  • Granola Bars
  • Nutri-grain Bars
  • Trail Mix
  • Dried Fruit

Plan on Eating Early

This is probably the one Peppa Pig Theme Park tip that will save you the most time!  The park has only one restaurant in it so you can imagine that it gets busy pretty quickly!  Plan on eating as soon as Miss Rabbit’s Diner opens to avoid crazy long tines.  We recommend the pizza and mac n cheese.  Be sure to save room for one of their fancy schmancy milkshakes!

Pack a Bathing Suit

What better way to beat the heat than to frolic around in the splash pad?  Bring a bathing suit (check out these Peppa Pig ones!), towel, water shoes, and sun screen!

Catch a Show

One way to make the most out of your day is to catch one of the shows.  Head to Mr. Potato’s Showtime Arena to join in on the fun.  Your little one can join Peppa and the gang in a bit of singing and dancing.  Be sure to arrive at arena a little early so you can snag a bean bag or a spot up close!

Meet & Greets

You’ll also find Meet & Greets in the arena.  Be sure to snap a photo with Peppa or George!

Work Counterclockwise

Another one of our time saving Peppa Pig Theme Park Tips is to work your way around the park counterclockwise.  This allows you to do the more popular rides before the crowds start rolling in.

Our suggested order is:

  • Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster
  • Mr. Bull’s High Striker
  • Peppa Pig’s Balloon Ride
  • Granddad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride and Sand Pit
  • Grampy Rabbit’s Dinosaur Adventure
  • Muddy Puddle’s Splash Pad
  •  Peppa’s Pedal Bike Tour
After you’ve hit all of these attractions up, we suggest catching a show, playing int he lay areas, or visiting the air-conditioned theatre.

Seek Shade!

Another reason we suggest doing the park in the above order is the lack of shade in the park.  The attractions at the top of our list offer little or no shade.  You’ll find shade at Peppa Pedal Bike Tour (there’s even an air-conditioning vent under the tunnel!) and at the Muddy Puddle’s Splash Pad.

Grab a Pin

If it is your first visit, or if you are visiting for a birthday, be sure to stop by Guest Services and ask for a special pin.

The Park's Restaurant

The park has just one restaurant, which fills up incredibly fast.  If you’re eating in the restaurant, we strongly suggest visiting it as soon as it opens.  The eatery serves up shockingly good pizza, mac n cheese, and sandwiches.  They also have super-fun (and super-sugary) milkshakes topped with cookies and sprinkles.

Know Before You Go

  • Arrive at the park as early as possible.  We got there just before the gates were opened and we did all of the rides, caught a show, did the attractions, and had 2 meet and greets within 2 hours.  The park gets busier later in the day.
  • The restaurant starts poppin’ around 11:45.  The earlier you can get there, the better. 
  • The park allows you to bring in your own drinks and snacks.
  • The park can easily be done in half a day.
The kids with Peppa Pig
  • If you have a toddler or pre-schooler, leave the stroller behind.  The park is so small that you can easily navigate it without a stroller.  We ended up just parking ours and leaving it somewhere.
  • There isn’t much shade in the park- which could be a huge issue in the summer.  Be sure to pack plenty of water and cooling aids.  Shaded/cool down areas include:  the theatre, the restaurant, the splash pad, the bicycle path, and the stage area.

Peppa Pig Theme Park Essentials

Our Thoughts on Peppa Pig Theme Park

Our kids really enjoyed Peppa Pig Theme Park.  The park itself was small and can easily be done in 1/2 a day.  Despite it being small in size, it is definitely still worth the visit– if you have young kids.  We found that with the theme park being on the smaller size, it was actually more inviting for our kids.  All of the rides were developed for young kids, so we didn’t really have to worry about whether or not the twin were tall enough for certain rides.  It’ll be interesting to see how the park develops and grows over the years.  

Pairing Peppa Pig Theme Park with Legoland Florida

Legoland and Peppa Pig Theme Park actually share the same parking lot, so it is easy to pair the two of them together. However, Legoland is massive and it will take you all day to do the park.  If you want to do both Legoland and Peppa Pig Theme Park, we suggest adding on at least another 1/2 day to your trip.
