Why go for the Paddington Experience

  • Interact with the characters: The Paddington Bear Experience shines with its character interactions! Meet Paddington, Mrs. Brown, and the rest of the family while tackling fun tasks, like helping Mrs. Bird organize her kitchen or finding Paddington's lost suitcase.
  • Bond together as a family: Make unforgettable memories together with Paddington! Join in on character challenges by assisting the Browns in organizing their party, solving Paddington-themed puzzles, and hunting for festival treasures. Wrap it all up with tasty sandwiches at the lively Marmalade Festival—yum!
  • Make the most of its convenient location: Out exploring London? After checking out the buzz at Shrek's Adventure, pop over to the Paddington Bear Experience at County Hall! With the London Eye just a stone's throw away, it's the perfect way to cap off a fantastic family day!

Things to know before booking your ticket to Paddington Experience

  • Entry prices begin at around £34 for children aged 2 to 15 and £39 for adults aged 16 and older. Keep in mind that prices may fluctuate between peak and off-peak times, so it's a good idea to check the rates for your specific visit date to snag the best deal!
  • Children under 2 can enter for free, but they will need to be carried during the entire experience.
  • Unfortunately, family tickets aren't available at the moment, so you'll need to purchase separate tickets for each family member. Just something to think about, as it might affect your budget for the outing!
  • Although the experience welcomes all ages, it's especially fitting for children 5 and up. Younger kids might find some portions, like a treasure hunt, a bit confusing, which could lead to wandering attention. 
  • Once inside, be ready for a few extra expenses, like marmalade sandwiches (£5), photos with Paddington, and goodies from the gift shop. These extras can add up, so be sure to account for them in your budget!
  • The experience lasts about 70 minutes and involves walking through several locations, with limited seating available. So, be prepared—this adventure might get a bit tiring!
  • The Paddington Bear Experience has lift provisions and is accessible for wheelchair users, though a few areas may not be fully participatory. 
  • While you can't bring buggies into the experience, a free buggy park is available on-site for your convenience. Just a reminder: this area isn't supervised.
