Facts and practical information
Tucked away in the enchanting woodlands of the Norfolk Broads, BeWILDerwood is an amusement park that stands out for its unique approach to family fun. Far from your typical theme park with high-speed rides and flashy technology, BeWILDerwood is a celebration of outdoor adventure and the whimsical world of author Tom Blofeld's magical series of children's books.
Upon stepping into this curious forest landscape, visitors, especially children, are transported into a realm of fantasy. The park is characterized by its natural wooden play structures, treehouses, ziplines, and rope bridges that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. The focus here is on imaginative play and physical activity, encouraging kids and adults alike to explore, climb, and swing through the treetops.
BeWILDerwood's storybook setting is brought to life with characters from Blofeld's tales, such as Swampy the Marsh Boggle and Mildred the Crocklebog. These characters are not only part of the park's lore but also feature in live shows and interactive storytelling sessions that captivate the audience and add an extra layer of enchantment to the experience.
The park prides itself on being a natural, screen-free zone, where the emphasis is on outdoor play and family bonding. There are no loud, mechanical rides; instead, the attractions are designed to encourage a sense of adventure and discovery. The park is also known for its seasonal events, such as the BeWILDerwood Halloween lantern parade, which adds a touch of magic to the forest with beautifully crafted lanterns and a festive atmosphere.
