NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas — The first rides were installed at the Peppa Pig Theme Park in North Richland Hills, marking the first step toward the parks official opening later this year.
A ground breaking ceremony was held on June 28, 2023, for a Peppa Pig Theme Park in North Richland Hills, off Boulevard 26 next door to the NRH2O Family Water Park. It's the second Peppa Pig Theme Park in the U.S. and will feature 14 acres themed after the popular children's show Peppa Pig.
The theme park will employ 100 full and part-time employees once open, according to a press release from Merlin Entertainments, the park's parent company. The park will host a recruitment fair ahead of opening and jobs will be posted ahead of time here.
"The opening of the park will contribute to our already strong economy, bringing more employment opportunities to young adults and other residents who are looking for jobs in this area," North Richland Hills Mayor Oscar Trevino said in the release. "We could not be more thrilled about the opening of Peppa Pig Theme Park in North Richland Hills.”
The three family-friendly rides include Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster, Peppa Pig's Balloon Ride and Mr. Bull's High Striker. The park will also include themed playscapes and a water play area.
