Trip one Sunday. Spent slightly over an hour here. Very sympathetically restored back to its 1823 origins. Surprisingly owned by the local council! The audio tour is worth the £3 to your device!
I had planned this holiday trip with my 5-year-old granddaughter for some time. I booked online, which was easy, and noticed that I could take advantage of a 2 for 1 offer as we were travelling by train - a bargain! Having taken my children to the Pavilion many years ago I knew there would be dragons, but I wasn't prepared for the summer dragon activities. We hunted for eggs and letters, followed the trail of the naughty hatchlings and took part in activities. There were lovely touches, such as small binoculars in the banquet room for children to get a better look at all the detail on the ceiling. Our visit would have been wonderful anyway, but was more magical with the extra effort that had been taken by the visitor team. We'll definitely return for whatever next year's activities might be.
Hello and thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so glad that you and your Granddaughter enjoyed Dragons and your overall visit to the Royal Pavilion. I am pleased you were able to take up the 2-4-1 offer and am glad our staff looked after you. We hope to see you at one of our other venues very soon.
Fabulous building! Was dumbstruck by the scale of the rooms and elaborate decor that really showcased the Prince Regents love of excess. Really recommend a visit, was beautiful.
Thank you for your positive review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit, and the exhibition at the Royal Pavilion. We look forward to welcoming you to another of our museums very soon!
We booked a 9:00 AM ticket, arrived in the park around 9:15 AM, enjoyed a quick coffee, and then headed inside. The welcome at the reception was very friendly. We did a self-guided tour, and from the moment we stepped into the Banqueting Room, our jaws dropped! There were so many dragons everywhere—so amazing and unique, we have never seen anything like it. The story behind it all is fascinating! Then, we suddenly spotted a toy cat. At first, we thought they just put it there for fun, but after spotting the fifth cat, we just had to know the story! It turned out to be George, the resident cat who actually lived there back in the early 1800s. Such a brilliant and charming detail! They also have a super fun dragon treasure hunt for children. It really shows you how incredibly wealthy people lived back then. From the secret underground tunnels to the unique attic room. The exterior looks like an Indian palace, while the interior is completely Chinese-inspired, featuring stunning hand-painted wallpaper and hundreds of dragons (🐉). Incredibly beautiful and an absolute must-visit!
Tripadvisor failed to pay the Pavilion for our admission so we were delayed in getting in. Tripadvisor were slow in sending the tickets prior to our departure from home . Once inside the Pavilion we were not disappointed.
Thank you for your review and sorry to hear it took a while for you to enter the Pavilion.. It is however fantastic to hear that you had such an enjoyable visit! We hope to welcome you again soon.
takes a couple oh hours worth the money
We loved it. Fabulous decor. Interesting history
The Pavilion is great. Parking is terrible, distant and expensive. The dragon theme is useful to keep children occupied.
Friendly and informative staff with a brilliant array of exhibits on, some collaboration with UK museums too which is fave. It was also great to see the abba plaque being a bit of a fan! Cheap ticket prices and is an annual fee so Kerching!
My children had so much fun with the dragon trail! Really creative!
