This spring, something truly mighty is coming to Cheddar Gorge…

Get ready for an exciting February half term at Cheddar Gorge & Caves as Mighty Mammoths stomps into action. Packed with adventure and discovery, families can explore the depths of Gough’s Cave, take on a fun interactive trail, enjoy creative hands-on activities, and dive into engaging stories and experiences along the way. It’s the perfect day out to spark curiosity, inspire young explorers, and create unforgettable family memories.

It’s a journey through time like no other, perfect for family days out and nostalgic trips for the young-at-heart.

And that’s just the beginning! Entry to Mighty Mammoths is included with a day ticket, giving you access to six incredible attractions:

  • Gough’s Cave – home of glittering stalactites and the legendary Cheddar Man, Britain’s oldest complete skeleton.

  • Yeo’s Journey in Cox’s Cave – a stunning new multimedia experience telling the story of how water shaped these ancient caves.

  • The Museum of Prehistory – discover how our ancestors lived, hunted and thrived.
    Jacob’s Ladder & The Lookout Tower – climb 274 steps for panoramic views of the gorge and the sweeping Mendip landscape.

Whether you're bringing the grandchildren, your own inner child, or the whole family along, this is a perfect day out to stir the imagination and reconnect with nature’s raw beauty and mystery.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome too, so no one misses out on the adventure!
