What to expect at The Paddington Bear™ Experience

Follow Paddington from the station to Windsor Gardens as your family helps get everything ready for the Marmalade Day Festival. Along the way, you'll move through a series of themed spaces inspired by the films and stories, with characters, games and live action moments built into the journey.

A timed immersive story
This is a structured 70-minute walkthrough rather than an open attraction. Families move through multiple locations as the story unfolds, with a set entry time and shared group experience.
Made for mixed-age family groups
The experience is suitable for all ages and the official venue says it is designed for the whole family. Adults need to accompany anyone aged 17 and under, so it works best as a shared family day out.
Windsor Gardens finale
After the main walkthrough, guests can stay longer in Windsor Gardens. This is where you'll find games, treats and photo opportunities with Paddington himself.
