Dinosaurs featuring King Kong or relax in our

named 'Pirates of the River Axe'. Come and visit
the Wookey Bear Collection and factory, also our

Jolly Roger Pirate Circus.
We've transformed the place. Of course we've
kept the best - the caves themselves, the
wonderful old paper mill, the Kidz Play Area's
and the Magical Mirror Maze, but there's so much
more we've done to make Wookey Hole a great
family destination for a wonderful day out
What
Ever The Weather.
Wookey Hole is open every day of the year except
Christmas Day from 10 am, until 5pm in summer
and 4pm from November to March.

Promontory of land with dramatic cliffs and
