It has been a challenging time launching a new indoor business during Covid, but the team has worked tirelessly to deliver an exceptional visitor experience throughout. We are so proud and honoured to be recognised in this way amongst such amazing businesses and we will continue to work to consistently deliver an outstanding Devon attraction."
Bear Town is a unique role play centre where young children can try a host of grown up jobs, from vets and mechanics to firefighters and hairdressers. At bear Town, there are no rules on imagination. Children are encouraged to let their imagination run wild and be who they want to be, encouraging children to 'learn through play'.
During the session, visitors will enjoy exclusive use of the café, which will be offering a great selection of cakes, snacks, delicious locally sourced meals and hot and cold drinks, including our amazing freshly ground coffee.
