Peppa Pig park: It’s time to meet Baby Evie

[Disney4me]

There’s a fresh face at Peppa Pig Theme Park. Baby Evie, a second little sibling to Peppa, will soon be now available for meet-and-greet duties at the Winter Haven attraction.

The park will welcome Evie on June 13. It will then be home to Peppa, Mummy and Daddy Pig, brother George and little Evie, who was born last month. The characters are from a British animated series and, like Peppa Pig Theme Park, aimed at preschoolers. Park visitors can see the family at Mr. Potato’s Showtime Arena.

Evie’s birth was announced via Instagram and media blitz on May 20. Since then there have been tie-ins with Spotify and Jeep, “Peppa Meets the Baby: The Album,” the Baby Cinema Experience and assorted messages discussing how another little one affects the lives of the Pigs.

Peppa Pig Theme Park, operated by Merlin Entertainments, opened as part of Legoland Florida Resort in 2022. Since then, the company has opened Peppa Pig Theme Parks near Dallas and in Gunzburg, Germany. It also developed Peppa Pig World of Play locations in Grapevine, Texas; Schaumburg, Illinois; and Auburn Hills, Michigan. The family is featured in a new Lego Duplo Peppa Pig Playground at Legoland New York.

“We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Hasbro over the coming years as we bring Peppa Pig to new audiences and create even more joy for families and young children for years to come,” said Fiona Eastwood, Merlin’s CEO, after the Dallas park opened in March.

“There is so much in store for Peppa Pig as she becomes a big sister twice over, and we can’t wait to celebrate each milestone for Baby Pig in this new park with our friends at Merlin,” said Matt Proulx, Hasbro senior vice president, in March.

The Florida attraction, the first of its kind, includes multiple play areas, a nature trail, a restaurant, shows, a movie theater, a fairground with games, Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster and slow-paced rides. There’s also Muddy Puddles Splash Pad, which is more soggy than dirty.
