Peppa Pig Playland Moving Into Rainforest Cafe Space At Woodfield

SCHAUMBURG, IL — The third Peppa Pig World of Play in the U.S. will move into the recently closed Rainforest Cafe space at Woodfield Mall. The new 15,000-square-foot indoor play center, which is meant for children 8 years old and younger, will have 14 themed play areas for fans of Peppa Pig.

Peppa Pig is the main character in the long-running Peppa Pig cartoon. The new playland is set to open this summer, according to information posted on Peppa Pig World of Play Facebook page.

Entrance fees to Peppa Pig Playland have not yet been finalized but should be similar to locations in Michigan and Texas, where the cost for an adult and child under 8 years old is $22.50 for a two-hour visit, according to the Daily Herald. The Woodfield playland will also have a Peppa Pig-themed store and a cafe.

Woodfield officials said they wanted to replace the space formerly occupied by Rainforest Cafe, which closed on Jan. 1, with another family-friendly venue.

"This was a strategic decision based on meeting the needs of the Woodfield shopper -- specifically the Woodfield family shopper," Woodfield Mall spokeswoman Bonni Pear told the Daily Herald.
