Revamped, restored and totally remarkable, the new Wookey Hole experience is bursting onto the 2006 holiday scene in an explosive mix of History, Mystery & 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', come and stroll amongst our full sized dinosaurs, or relax in our 'Enchanted Fairy Garden' with fairies, dragons and elves. Indoors we've added a revolutionary pirate ship 'ZAP ZONE' adventure which we've named 'Pirates of the River Axe'. Come and watch our 'Magic & Puppet Shows' in the Wizards Theatre.

We've transformed the place. Of course we've kept the best - the caves themselves, the wonderful old paper mill, the Kidz Play Area's and the Magical Mirror Maze, 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.
