Britain's most spectacular caves and legendary home of the infamous Witch of Wookey. Wander through the prehistoric valley of the Dinosaurs featuring King Kong and relax in our magical fairy garden.

The 19th Century Paper Mill houses a variety of fascinating attractions including the Victorian Penny Arcade, Magical Mirror Maze, Hall of Crazy Mirrors, New Cave Museum, Pirate Zap Zone, Soft Play Areas and the World of Miniature - The Circus Model Room and Clown Museum.

We've transformed the place. Of course we've kept the best - the caves themselves and the wonderful old paper mill, 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 - why not have lunch in our Big Top Restaurant, serving hot and cold meals?

Our brand new extravagant light show in the caves will be a must-see this year, with new technology to show our caves at their very best.

*The Pirate Circus Show will be performing in the Wookey Theatre - be dazzled by the trapeze and silk skills and be enthralled by the wire walking and unicycle tricks - a show not to be missed!
*weekends and during school holidays.
