Shrek’s Adventure
About Shrek’s Adventure
Shrek’s Adventure! London is a laugh-out-loud, all-indoors fairy tale romp packed with live actors, 4D rides, swampy surprises and Donkey-fuelled chaos. Best for kids aged 4–12, it’s silly, magical and brilliantly bonkers. Book ahead—it’s a South Bank favourite for birthdays, rainy days and full-family fun.
Top tip from the KidRated Team:
Book a combo Merlin ticket. You can bundle Shrek’s Adventure with SEA LIFE, the London Eye or even the London Dungeon. It saves money and turns one fun outing into a full-blown family adventure along the South Bank.
Quick Inspiration
It’s perfect for kids aged 4–12. Some parts might be loud or dark, so it’s less ideal for toddlers.
Around 75 minutes – just the right length for mini attention spans.
It’s more silly than scary, though younger or sensitive kids might find a few scenes a bit intense.
Not during the show, but there’s a fun themed area at the end for pics with loads of characters from Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Madagascar and more. Posing with Donkey? Non-negotiable.
Wheelchair users are welcome, but accessible slots are limited – book in advance. Buggies need to be left in a buggy park.
Yes – tickets often sell out, especially during holidays and weekends.
No café inside, but the South Bank is packed with food stalls, restaurants and sweet treats just outside.
Only if they’re game for a bit of fairy tale mayhem – it’s loud, lively and seating is limited.
Tons! The London Eye, SEA LIFE, Jubilee Gardens, Southbank Centre and London Dungeon are all a short walk away.
