Peppa Pig and friends are coming to north Texas with a new family-friendly theme park from Merlin Entertainments, opening 2024.
Merlin Entertainments will be licensing the popular IP from Hasbro once again to bring Peppa Pig to the city of North Richland Hills. The park is set to feature an array of rides, interactive attractions, "themed playscapes" immersing little visitors in the world of Peppa Pig and live shows.
"Merlin's platform and reach continues to grow in the US as we build on the success of the world's first standalone Peppa Pig theme park in Florida. Given the incredible success of our Legoland Discovery Center and Sea Life Aquarium in Grapevine, TX, the North Richland Hills community was a natural next step in our expansion and rollout," said CEO of Merlin Entertainments, Scott O'Neil.
"Merlin is the definitive partner of choice for brands engaging children, holding the research, care, experience and interest in bringing iconic brands to life through location-based attractions. Thank you to our friends at Hasbro for partnering with us to bring the playful world of Peppa Pig to this vibrant community."
"The success of the Peppa Pig theme park has been phenomenal, and we are excited to embark on the journey again with our friends at Merlin to bring another park to the city of North Richland Hills, TX," said Matt Proulx, vice president of location-based entertainment at Hasbro. "Adding another Peppa Pig theme park for fans to experience continues our Blueprint 2.0 strategy of offering more meaningful ways for families to engage with our brands. We cannot wait for more guests to create lifelong memories with Peppa and her friends."
"North Richland Hills is known for its family-friendly amenities and activities and we could not be more thrilled to add Peppa Pig theme park to the mix. This will be a great addition to our community," said North Richland Hills Mayor, Oscar Trevino. "Conveniently located next door to NRH2O Family Water Park, Peppa Pig theme park will bring more energy to an area already known as a destination for family fun. I'm certain it will provide unforgettable entertainment that keeps families coming back again and again."
