Diggerland: A UK Attraction Packed with Hands-On Fun for the Whole Family

If you’re searching for a family day out that’s as fun as it is unique, look no further than Diggerland. With locations in Kent, Devon, Durham, and Yorkshire, this one-of-a-kind UK attraction offers an experience that’s both thrilling and educational. Whether you’re a little one fascinated by construction machinery or an adult eager to relive childhood dreams, Diggerland has something for everyone.

What Makes Diggerland Stand Out?

Unlike traditional theme parks, Diggerland allows visitors to operate real construction equipment. Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of a JCB digger or Komatsu excavator, learning how to manoeuvre these powerful machines under the guidance of trained staff. It’s a hands-on adventure that combines fun with learning, making it a standout UK attraction for families.

Attractions and Activities

Rides and Drives

Diggerland boasts over 20 different rides and drives, all included with your standard admission ticket. From the exhilarating Spindizzy, which spins you around in a Komatsu machine, to the Skyshuttle, where you can enjoy panoramic views from a construction lift, there’s no shortage of excitement. For those seeking a bit of competition, the Dodgems and Go-Karts offer a chance to race friends and family.

Activities for All Ages

Even the youngest visitors aren’t left out. For children under 100 cm tall, Diggerland offers a variety of activities, including coin-operated rides and indoor play areas. These attractions ensure that everyone, regardless of age, can join in the fun.
