The World of Beatrix Potter is a little bit of magic in the centre of Bowness-on-Windermere on Crag Brow. It tells the story of Peter Rabbit and his friends and about the life of the inspiration that is Beatrix Potter. Before you arrive,\u00a0download a free activity booklet from the website for your child to enjoy, includes lots of quizzes, puzzles and games while they explore.<\/p>\n
When you arrive at The World of Beatrix Potter, you’ll watch a short 5 minute film introducing you to the author, her stories and illustrations and why she was so important to the Lake District. The film room doors then open through to the main exhibition, stepping first into Jemima Puddle-duck\u2019s woodland glade and then onto many other very much loved characters including the famous Peter Rabbit himself.<\/p>\n
Capture the atmosphere, sounds and smells of the wonderful 3D scenes straight from Beatrix Potter\u2019s beautiful stories. Take a stroll around Peter rabbit\u2019s garden, seeing the gooseberry bush where Peter got caught in a nest as he tried to escape Mr McGregor. See if your children can spot Mrs Tiggy-winkle\u2019s in her kitchen folding her fresh laundry and enjoy a perfect photo opportunity.<\/p>\n
Take a virtual walk in Beatrix Potter\u2019s beloved countryside using a computer projection, visiting places which inspired Miss Potter\u2019s work and walk along a timeline which tells the story of the author\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
When you emerge from the exhibition why not visit the shop and take home a memory from your day. All that excitement makes you hungry, so head for the Tea Room which is open every day from 10am, and is full of tempting treats made using fresh local ingredients, home-grown salads and vegetable grown in their very own garden. Children can even enjoy a scrummy Peter Rabbit picnic basket with a selection of sandwiches, snack, fruit and drink. or there is a special children\u2019s hot food menu available.<\/p>\n
