Book your school trip to The Paddington Bear™ Experience
“59 children and 12 adults descended on Paddington and what a day it was! We all loved it! So well organized, interactive and fun! The only trip I have ever done where the children didn’t ask what time lunch was! Cannot recommend it enough. Thank you!”
Teacher, Wyborne Primary School
London’s newest educational adventure for pupils of all ages.
Our live actors and interactive gameplay will immerse your pupils and bring the beloved world of Paddington to life. Pupils will start their journey at the bustling Paddington Station before boarding a full-sized train carriage. From there, they’ll travel through the vibrant streets of London, visit the Browns’ house at No. 32 Windsor Gardens and even venture into the magical jungle of Peru—all to help Paddington prepare for the biggest party Windsor Gardens has ever seen – the Marmalade Day Festival!
The experience offers pupils an unforgettable educational visit supported by free teaching resources. Along with linking to a wide range of curriculum topics in English, Maths, Art & Design, Drama and PSHE, this cross-curricular adventure will help your pupils build confidence and develop problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills.

“I was so fortunate to take my 12 year old son on a Sunday and then my school class on a trip to the Paddington Experience and it was wonderful! So engaging and interactive for everyone. It was a joy to see older children enjoying and the excitement on their faces was priceless. I heard a number of times that it was the best trip ever!! Thank you for creating a memorable experience for all!”
Teacher, Henry Fawcett Primary School
