Fun has no age limit and there's play activities for all. Get ready for an action-packed summer of fun at Killerton.

With 6 different play areas to choose from every day. For those who want to burn off some steam, there’s frisbee golf, and loose parts play to climb and build. Unleash your inner artist and get creative with arts equipment. What a performance - there’s even a mini theatre with dressing up. Head over to the nature zone to identify bugs and play in the mud kitchen. After all that there’s a quiet zone, time to relax with giant bean bags and even an outdoor library. There’s plenty of covered areas so play can continue no matter what the weather.

Members visit for free; normal admission fees apply for non-members. All play activities are included with entrance.
