Wookey Hole Caves |
||||||||||
|
Revamped, restored and totally remarkable, the new Wookey Hole, Britain's Oldest Tourist Attraction is bursting onto the holiday scene in an explosive mix ofHistory, Mystery and Fun.
With new attractions, great new facilities and the classic glory of Britain's most spectacular underground caverns, the centuries-old site near Wells in Somerset has been given a brand new lease of life.
Last year we opened a "Valley of the Dinosaurs". A full size King Kong now sits at the entrance. Come and stroll amongst our full sized dinosaurs, or relax in our "Enchanted Fairy Gardens" with fairies, dragons and elves.
Fun In The Monster Mill
at the West's Largest Indoor Attraction. Indoors we've added a revolutionary pirate ship "Zap ZONE" adventure which we've
named "Pirates of the River Axe". Come and watch our "Youth Circus" in our new Big Top Theatre. See our exciting museum, The Wookey Bears which is officially "the world's most famous bear Collection in the world". Be amazed at our World of Miniature and our New Clown Exhibition.We've transformed the place. Of course we've kept the best - the caves themselves, the wonderful old paper mill, the Kidz Play Areas, Magical Mirror Maze, and the Victorian Penny Arcade but there's so much more we've done to make Wookey Hole a great family destination for a wonderful day out - What Ever The Weather.
Another bonus - there's so much else to explore in the immediate vicinity, with the beautiful city of Wells, the smallest city in England, just a couple of miles away, the Royal Bath and West Showground at Shepton Mallet only slightly further, and the elegant Georgian city of Bath a mere 30 minutes away by road.
