OK, now we’re squealing. After years of anticipation, a new Peppa Pig Theme Park opened its gates in Dallas-Fort Worth in March 2025. This British invasion of friendly piglets has landed in North Richland Hills, right next door to NRH2O Family Water Park. The magic of this theme park (it’s only the second in the whole U.S.) is that the rides and play areas are specifically designed for kids 6 and younger, though it’s open to all ages. Here’s what to know to plan your first visit.
The Rides
The highlights of this children’s amusement park are the five unique rides. (Feel free to refer to this new theme park as Potato City, if you like.) And we love that there’s no minimum height requirement for these two: Grandad Dog’s Pirate Boat Ride, where kids can take the helm of a mini pirate ship that floats and dips with the waves in a shallow pool, and Peppa Pig’s Hot Air Balloon Ride, an aerial carousel ride that slowly spins 360 degrees. The whole family can pile into a yellow basket for a full view of the park.
Kids at least 34 inches tall can ride the Grampy Rabbit’s Dinosaur Adventure. An adult and child can hop on a green dino, Yoshi-style, and ride around a volcano and more dinosaurs.
For the biggest thrills, your kids who are at least 36 inches tall can ride these two: Mr. Bull’s High Striker, a drop ride that shoots straight up before it drops and bounces you, and—here’s where you’ll really feel the wind in your hair—Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster. You’ll want to throw your hands up on this mini coaster, painted red like the family’s car, but don’t expect to sit in the very first car of the coaster. Daddy Pig is driving this car, so he’ll always be seated up front, leading the way.
Even more darling is the way you’ll line up to enter the mini coaster: walking up to the little house on the hill, decked out as Peppa’s family house, complete with photo ops. This little space will also, no doubt, lend some much-needed shade and AC during the hotter months.
Play Areas Aplenty
For hours of playtime in between the coasters, the park is loaded with nine play zones, each with different activities. That means, within a few minutes your kids can hop between several playgrounds, then go digging in the sandbox, then hop on a tricycle for a quick pedal through a wooden trail.
And don’t miss George’s Fort. That’s the darling castle inside the center of a hedge maze that’s just tall enough for toddlers to peer over. As you run through the “maze” (they’re all curved walls and there’s no chance of getting lost), follow the “ribbit” sounds to the center where a little frog is hiding.
The Fort is one of several play areas inside Granny Pig’s Garden, an area that also has some of the softest flooring for crawling babies.
And mercifully, they’ve got a water play area, too—because what’s a Peppa Pig park without some puddle jumping? The Muddy Puddles Splash Pad will be open year-round, closing only when the temps drop below 65°F.
If you want to double check that all rides and the splash pad are operational that day, before you drive out to the park, feel free to give the front desk a call at 469/947-3760 and they can give you an update.
The Shows
Parents, an outing here means lots of running around for you too. When you need to take a break for yourself and sit down, head inside the Cinema, located closer toward the entrance. Episodes of Peppa Pig will play all day, so no need to worry about specific showtimes. And you won’t find typical movie theater seats but big bean bag squares, perfect for your kids to splay on the ground with plenty of room to run in-between them.
And for true Peppa Pig fans, the Big Kahuna is Mr. Potato’s Showtime Arena. The large and shaded performance area is where larger-than-life costumed characters Peppa Pig, brother George and now Baby Evie, too, perform live skits that interact with onlookers.
The Diner
One thing that save you small fortune: they allow you to bring in your own bottled water and small lunch snacks, so long as it fits in a small, soft-sided cooler. When you’re ready for a hot meal or something more substantial, head into Miss Rabbit’s Diner, where they’ll whip up kid classics like mac and cheese, pizza and PB&J sandwiches. For dessert, the Muddy Puddles Milkshake is big and sweet enough to share. Grownups can choose from fresh options salads and flatbread sandwiches.
When you need to take a potty break, you’ll find that even the restrooms are made for kids—with toddler toilet seats, and baby changing tables.
It’s Autism Friendly, Too
The Peppa Pig Theme Park is also a Certified Autism Center, which among other things means the staff has all gotten autism sensitivity training. Keep an eye out for a detailed sensory guide to be released this spring.
Theme Park Pricing
And how much is this all going to cost, right? Kids under 2 years old get in for free. Access to all the rides and play areas are included with general admission, which starts at $27.99, depending on the day. There’s even a slight discount if you plan to come after 1pm. And you can skip the ATM; the whole park is cashless.
General admission tickets are already available for purchase online, so if you’re planning to visit for spring break, reserve your tickets ASAP to avoid sell-out. You can also throw in a set of pig ears or small Peppa plushie to your cart. Other single-day packages start at $32.99. If you know you’re going to come more than once, the $99.99 anytime annual pass is the best deal. Just be aware that it’s valid from opening day until March 1, 2026.
In case you’re wondering, Peppa Pig World of Play, which opened six years ago inside Grapevine Mills, is here to stay. In fact, if you purchase an anytime annual pass to the new theme park, that also includes unlimited access to World of Play. This smaller, indoor attraction is a great spot for your preschoolers during any weather and is located about 15 miles apart from the outdoor theme park.
Peppa’s Rainy Day Promise
Unexpected rainstorms can ruin a day out. But now, the Peppa Pig Theme Park is promising parents that if weather interrupts their park experience, you can come back another day free of charge.
Location: 8851 Boulevard 26, North Richland Hills
Hours: The parks open at 9am and, depending on the day, closes at either 4pm, 5pm or 6pm. Check their opening days and hours here. As we get into the fall and winter, they typically close on select weekdays.
