OPEN 1st JULY: SHREK'S ADVENTURE! LONDON

A WORLD FIRST BRAND NEW DREAMWORKS® ATTRACTION

After months of anticipation, Shrek's Adventure! London – a brand new immersive storytelling attraction – will open on the Southbank next week.

The atmospheric attraction brings the fantastical worlds of DreamWorks and the Kingdom of Far Far Away vividly to life before guests' eyes. Lovingly crafted and theatrically reimagined, the experience combines live action and iconic sets from the Shrek films with captivating storytelling, an amazing 4D ride*, jaw-dropping special effects and new DreamWorks animation.

Guests are invited to step into and literally play their part in this extraordinary adventure helping to 'save the day' as the story unfolds with its multiple unexpected twists and turns - from magical crystal balls and bubbling cauldrons to powerful spells and more laughs than you can shake a Magic Mirror at.
