In the footsteps of dinosaurs
Knebworth House has gone positively prehistoric in the Wilderness Garden! Take little ones on an adventure along woodland paths past 70 life-sized dinosaurs grazing in the shrubbery for the ultimate Jurassic day out. Or grab your compass for a journey through the undergrowth at Hertford Theatre to take a peak at the territories of the infamous T-Rex, Triceratops, Segnosaurus and more!
Animal adventures
Paradise Wildlife is the ultimate wild day out this holiday with 800 exotic animals, Safari Adventure Golf and three playgrounds to explore. If the sun has its hat on, don’t miss the Paradise Lagoon paddling pool for the chance to soak up those rays and cool off with a splash and an ice cream. Pounce on Paradise
