The experience begins just like Paddington’s story – with a visit to Paddington Station! Here, the friendly Station Master welcomes you and your family, setting the stage for a journey full of whimsy and wonder. You’ll hop on board a life-sized train carriage, just as Paddington did when he first arrived in London and set off on an adventure through iconic London locations and sounds that feel straight out of the storybooks. Until you arrive at the Browns’ home at No. 32 Windsor Gardens.

Once you arrive at the Browns’ home at No. 32 Windsor Gardens, the adventure truly begins. Each room in the Browns’ house has been brought to life with fun details that capture the warmth and charm of Paddington’s world. Kids and grown-ups alike will love exploring the Browns’ kitchen and tree-lined hallway, and they might even giggle over a few of Paddington’s famous mishaps along the way!

You’ll join the Browns as they prepare for the much-anticipated Marmalade Day Festival, an interactive and multi-sensory adventure! Families can dive into hands-on activities, puzzles, and games for a day filled with fun. Inside, you’ll help Paddington plan the grandest party Windsor Gardens has ever seen!

Don’t forget to visit Mr. Gruber’s antiques shop! You’ll find its packed with treasures from around the world, or laugh along as you encounter some of Paddington’s most famous mishaps in the Browns’ home. Each scene offers beautifully crafted sets and iconic locations that bring Paddington’s world to life in a way fans will love.

The Paddington Bear Experience reaches its festive finale at the Marmalade Day Festival in Windsor Gardens.
