When you think of Paultons Park, your mind probably jumps straight to Peppa Pig World, thrilling rides, or the prehistoric adventures of Lost Kingdom. But beyond the roller coasters and character meet-and-greets, there’s another standout feature that often surprises first-time visitors: the gardens.
With their colourful flower beds, manicured lawns, whimsical topiary, and serene water features, the park’s landscaped spaces have become a highlight for guests of all ages. In fact, many families say they spend almost as much time strolling through the gardens as they do riding attractions.
But here’s the question we’re putting to you today:
Does Paultons Park have the most beautiful theme park gardens in the UK?
What Makes the Gardens Special?
- Seasonal Displays – From vibrant spring tulips to rich autumnal colours, the planting is planned year-round.
- Themed Areas – Japanese gardens, tropical planting, and rose walks each have their own charm.
- Peaceful Retreats – Shady benches, ornamental bridges, and quiet lawns offer a break from the excitement.
- Wildlife Friendly – The gardens attract butterflies, bees, and birds, adding a natural soundtrack to your visit.
It’s a level of care and detail you don’t often see in theme parks — and it’s a big part of what makes Paultons unique.
The Competition
Of course, Paultons isn’t the only UK theme park with beautiful landscaping.
- Alton Towers boasts historic Grade II* listed gardens, complete with gothic towers, fountains, and hidden pathways.
- Chessington World of Adventures blends rides with lush zoo enclosures and planted walkways.
- LEGOLAND Windsor has creative flower beds that mix horticulture with LEGO artistry.
So while Paultons might be one of the best, the title of most beautiful gardens is still up for debate.
Whether you’ve been to Paultons dozens of times or have only seen photos, your opinion matters. Gardens might not get as much attention as roller coasters, but they can transform a theme park visit into something truly magical.

I visited Paultons Park last summer. The gardens are pretty but I haven’t seen others to compare.
The themed areas in the gardens are fantastic! Loved the Japanese garden especially. It’s like multiple worlds in one park.
