Walk through the pages of Beatrix Potter's stories as Peter Rabbit and his friends are brought to life in 3D scenes set in a Lake District landscape. The Attraction includes a free activity trail for children, a themed Peter Rabbit café serving brunch, lunch and afternoon tea, and two gift shops. The Peter Rabbit Garden outside tells the story of Potter the naturalist, featuring plants from her tales like the cos lettuces Benjamin Bunny nibbled and the gooseberry bush where Peter got caught. The venue also hosts a programme of theatre shows and family events throughout the year.
