Frequently Asked Questions

Is Babbacombe Model Village dog friendly?

Yes, well behaved dogs are allowed, with some restrictions –

Dogs are welcome throughout the gardens, indoor displays and gift shop.

They strictly cannot go into the coffee shop, except for guide/assistance dogs This is partially due to its limited size and restricted space. We do have seating outdoors on the terrace with a few sheltered tables. This is a no exceptions rule, so if you are planning to use the coffee shop takeaway we would advise visiting us on a dry day!

They must be kept on a short lead and you must stay with them the whole time.

Please come prepared to pick up any doggy dos!

A place of tranquility and Excitement

Although this was my first visit i was not disappointed, It is one of the best Model Village’s i have been to.
It is suitable for all ages young and old, and you can interact with things if you want to.
there are place’s to sit and have a rest and there is a nice eating place which is reasonable in price, I would say this place is magical and well worth a visit.

Gets better and better

I took my brother for his first visit to Babbacombe. Its over 50 years since I last visited here but it fulfilled all my memories of it and more. There were parts I remembered but many new parts and they are still improving it. We returned on the Thursday evening for the illuminations which were wonderful. If I get to return to Babbacombe I will certainly visit the Model Village again. Its well worth a visit whatever your age.

Amazing second visit after 20 years.

It had been 20 years since my last visit and i had been waiting in excitement to return for years, and I wasn’t disappoint but blown away at the size of this model village and the detail. Unlike some model villages this one has kept up to date with the smallest of modern changes. Lots of value for your money once inside as there is mini golf and a 4D cinema, Also if you have your photo taken in the gift shop before you leave you can return for free within 7 days.

If you don’t busy attractions this place offers an amazing experience on a Thursday night as it opens til 9.30pm.
