Blenheim Palace works well as a full family day out because you can split your time between heritage spaces, gardens and active play. Adults can explore the Palace State Rooms and exhibitions, while children have space to roam through the maze, Butterfly House, Walled Garden and parkland.
The Palace opens daily from 10.30, with last entry at 16.45. Eligible palace tickets include access to the State Rooms, exhibitions, and major heritage areas that tell the story of Blenheim Palace and Winston Churchill.
The Walled Garden is one of the best family areas on site, with the Marlborough Maze, Butterfly House, miniature train stop and Pizzeria. It gives children more to do than a standard stately home visit and helps break up the day.
Adventure Play is designed for families who want active play alongside the heritage visit. It includes climbing, slides, tunnels, bridges, zip lines, water play and toddler-friendly areas, but it is only included with the Palace & Play Pass.
Opening times vary across the Palace, Park, Gardens, Adventure Play and restaurants, so check your ticket details before travelling.
Open every day from 10.15 to 17.15. Quiet Play Sessions Held on the last Sunday of the month from 9.00 to 11.00am
