Winner: The home of Peppa Pig is voted the best theme park in the UK. That’s one popular pig!
You can’t keep a good pig down. Paultons Park, home of Peppa Pig World, has been named by Tripadvisor as the No1 theme park in Britain, 10th best-rated in the world and the fourth best in Europe – beating all other UK attractions.
And that’s despite having to close for weeks because of Covid-19 and reopening last month with limited capacity and new health and safety measures.
The family theme park, on the edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, has retained its title for an unbeaten fifth year in a row as the UK’s best-rated amusement park in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.
Richard Mancey, Paultons Park boss, said: “We are incredibly proud to have ranked in the top ten amusement parks worldwide. We are focused on continual improvement and investment in order to excel at everything we offer, so to be positioned alongside other attractions such as Europa-Park and Universal Studios is a huge achievement.
“It is also a huge honour to receive the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for the UK’s best-rated amusement park for the fifth year in a row. Retaining the award for so many years is testament to the unwavering dedication of the entire Paultons Park team who work incredibly hard to ensure our guests have an unforgettable experience.”
The winners were selected based on reviews and ratings of visitors. An algorithm was used to determine the top 10 list and took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for amusement parks worldwide, gathered over a year.
Richard added: “The thousands of positive guest reviews which have contributed to this award demonstrate that we are achieving our mission to provide our guests with a unique and delightful experience for the whole family that represents superb value for money.”
Paultons Park reopened to the public on Saturday July 4 but the opening of Paultons Park’s new themed land, Tornado Springs, has been rescheduled for Easter 2021. The Americana-themed Tornado Springs will cover four acres and showcase over eight new rides and attractions, becoming the fifth themed land at Paultons Park and joining the UK exclusive Peppa Pig World, Critter Creek, Little Africa and the Jurassic-themed world of Lost Kingdom.
