Wellington Country Park is aimed at families with children up to the age of 8 years old. Older children are very welcome, but our attractions are aimed at children of that age range, and some have even further restrictions. Unless you are meeting other family/friends, older children may not enjoy the facilities as much as younger ones.

Entrance times to the Park itself vary according to the time of year. Entry and closing times for the Main Reception Building are:

Low season: 9:30am – 4:30pm ; High season: 9:30am- 5:30pm.

PLEASE NOTE – The main ENTRANCE GATES to the Park itself, will be locked 30 minutes after the Main Reception Building closes. Visitors must have vacated the Main Car Park and left the Park by that time, or the main gate may be locked and as a result, you may not be able to exit the Park.

Please be aware, different attractions close at different times. Please check timings of operation on our website or arrival to the Park.

Entry prices vary according to the time of year/season. We request all visitors to book online. Wellington Country Park is now totally cashless.

We request visitors who wish to visit during our peak morning period from 9.30am to 12.30pm  to book online, to be certain of entry. At Peak times, entry may be refused if numbers off guests are too high. However, we do allow visitors to arrive and pay on-the-door but please note, Wellington Country Park is cashless.

By requesting visitors to book online for our peak morning period, we can reasonably control the number of visitors coming and going onsite. By doing so, we have found that not only did this reduce the possibility of overcrowding and queuing on entrance, but it has also improved in the enhancement of your overall experience and enjoyment of your visit in both accessibility to play equipment as well as the standard of service we can offer.

We do not offer any Blue Light or any services discounts.

No, it is free to park your car here at the Park.

Yes, we are. Access to all buildings, café’s, soft play, Adventure Room and Reception, is either flat or via a slight ramp with a minimum access of 900mm. Flooring is either of a vinyl or tiled surface.

Once in the building and into the Park, the majority of the Park now has tarmac paths. This allows for wheelchair access to all areas of the Park including access to, in and around the Animal Farm, the Dinosaur Trail and around the back of the small lake. Access to the back of the large lake is only partly accessible for wheelchair users, as the path becomes very narrow and is of a natural rough forest floor.

Whilst there are level tarmac paths to all entrances to play areas and the areas are all visible from these points, all play areas are barked for safety reasons which unfortunately makes access for wheelchairs very difficult. All paths are approximately 2m wide with grass areas either side, which may be uneven underfoot. There are plenty of benches located throughout the Park to allow for rest.

Please note that the Train has a wheelchair carriage available to all passengers who may need to use it. Please see our website for further information on our accessibility page.

Unfortunately, we do not have any mobility scooters for hire, but we do have one basic push wheelchair available which can be pre-booked. To book, please contact the main Reception either by email [email protected] or by phone on 01189 326444. You can then reserve the wheelchair for your visit. Please note a refundable £50.00 deposit is required. In case of late arrival, the wheelchair will remain reserved for 30 mins after the booked time. However, after that period of time, it will be available to other visitors if required. If not pre-booked, use of the wheelchair is done on a first come first served basis.
