Wookey Hole – A Magical Family Day Out in Somerset
Explore Wookey Hole Caves
Step into the world-famous Wookey Hole Caves, one of the UK’s largest and most spectacular cave systems, hidden deep beneath the Mendip Hills. Rich in history, myth and legend, these ancient chambers are home to the famous Witch of Wookey Hole and promise an unforgettable underground adventure millions of years in the making.
So Much to Discover
A day at Wookey Hole is packed with fun for all ages – and the caves are only the beginning. Best of all, there’s plenty to enjoy whatever the weather, with both indoor and outdoor experiences to explore. Come face-to-face with roaring giants in Dinosaur Valley, relive the charm of vintage penny arcades and quirky museums, or take on family rivals in a round of adventure golf. Kids can burn off energy in the indoor soft play, while everyone can enjoy the mystery of the Magical Mirror Maze. Experience the thrills of the 4D Cinema, where films burst into life with special effects… and so much more waiting to be discovered.
Wookey Hole Circus
Prepare to be amazed by the spectacular Wookey Hole Circus. With three brand-new shows created each year, our talented young performers light up the theatre with daring stunts, incredible skill and breathtaking performances. Shows run at weekends and during school holidays – a must-see for the whole family.
Food & Drink
After all that exploring, recharge at the Mill Restaurant, serving tasty homemade meals, snacks and sandwiches daily. For a sweet treat, stop by the Ice Cream Parlour, where you’ll find over 25 delicious flavours – including vegan and gluten-free options.

There’s always something exciting happening at Wookey Hole. Alongside the caves and daily fun, we host a year-round programme of special events that make every visit unique.
