What a great place for kids to burn off their energy. The grandchildren enjoyed the Easter egg hunt and the bouncy castle. The adventure style playground was brilliant and the grounds are expansive.

Incredible space for picnics with young children!

We visited Wilton House gardens over the jubilee bank holiday for a picnic and to let our kids burn off some excess energy.

At £21 (June 2022) for a family ticket (gardens) Wilton House isn't free, but was in our opinion well worth the price of admission. There's a lovely looking Café (not sampled) and some great ice cream from Marshfield Farm; but what was really excellent for us was the size and quality of the adventure playground!

Big in scale and with two slides that both our seven and nine year old said were 'epic' the playground has great climbing frames, zip lines, trampolines, swings, slides, swing boats, rope, and 'wobbly' bridges. There was also an area specifically for 1-5 years which was on a smaller scale but looked great.

Well tended extensive lawns dropping down to the river Wylie provided space for what seemed like an unlimited number of picnics and everything was clean and tidy. We saw scratch rounders, football, and cricket in progress and there were a few picnic tables and benches too.

The house looked lovely and provided a great backdrop but memories of being dragged around properties with my parents aged seven meant we didn't visit. It does coat considerably more too, but I'd have probably visited if our children were older or if we were visiting without them.

A large and well stocked gift shop provides the entry and exit, but the staff were lovely and the products on sale were not aimed at little ones, and seemed to be tasteful rather than disposable. In any event the staff here were friendly and really helpful.

A reasonable amount of parking too all on hard standing.

For a picnic though, Wilton House gardens really does deliver.

Please book in advance, they only do the guided tour of the house, staff is very helpful tickets are slightly expensive, house has nice collection of paintings and different other artifacts. The garden huge and is beautiful, there is a dedicated children play area as well.

We booked a tour inside the Wilton House. The art by famous painters such as Van Dijck, Rembrandt and other famous painters was impressive. The gardens were nice to stroll around.

Rather expensive to get in to enter the house and gardens. Nearby didn't go in. But very glad we did. Amazing house (although you're not allowed to take photos inside) and amazing gardens with children's adventure playground!
