We’ve got lots to offer at Walton Hall and Gardens so make sure you plan your visit and make the most of our facilities whilst you’re here. Our park is free to enter, just pay for parking!
You do not need to book to visit Walton Hall and Gardens. Just turn up, pay for parking and enjoy your day. However, during busy periods, there may be queuing systems in place at The Children’s Zoo and for our outdoor games – see opening times below. For High Ropes, we suggest booking your place before you arrive via Jungle Parc’s website.
Remember we’re dog-friendly too so bring your four legged friends with you and let them explore our gardens, but we do ask that they not go into the children’s zoo as some of the animals are a little worried by them.
