Can I attend as a single adult with more than one child?

All single adults are more than welcome to visit Diggerland with more than one child, however please be aware if they are under the recommended height restriction they will need to be accompanied by an adult, which may leave a child waiting alone.
Please see our rides and drives page for more details.

I am pregnant, do I have to pay & can I enjoy the rides?

The majority of our rides and attractions are very gentle as we have young children enjoying, riding and operating them, so these should be fine. We would suggest having a look at our ride page prior to visiting, each ride (when you click on one) has more information and a short video.

We would recommend probably not going on the Spindizzy, Groundshuttle, JCB 3CX ride/drive or Dodgems. Please note unfortunately as all our rides & attractions are included in the entrance price and it is not a pay per ride attraction park, all members who are attending the park are required to purchase an entrance ticket. We also cannot provide discounts for pregnant women.

Please bear in mind, some younger children may be required to sit on an adults lap, which may prove difficult for children accompanied by pregnant visitors only.

What if the weather is bad?

Diggerland is predominantly an outdoor attraction with all the digger rides and drives situated out in the open air. Some rides and attractions may close in the event of high winds, thunder or lightning, if the Park Manager decides that such action is required.
In the event of rain we do have indoor play areas for younger children, which are included in the entry price. Umbrellas and rain wear may be purchased from the Goodie Store.
Diggerland regrets that refunds will not be issued due to inclement weather. If you come prepared for the weather you will still have a great day!

What should I wear?

Diggerland is a family attraction and we ask that you wear appropriate clothing whilst in the theme park. Any guest deemed by the Park Manager to be wearing inappropriate clothing may be asked to change clothes or to leave Diggerland.
Most activities involve riding or driving real construction machinery, and we would strongly advise against wearing flip-flops or similar footwear as they do not afford much protection to your feet. Customers should be aware that access will be denied to certain machinery if appropriate closed in footwear is not worn. Suitable footwear includes closed in footwear such as trainers, flat shoes, flat boots or wellies. High heels must not be worn on any machinery.
Virtually all activities take place outdoors.
In wet weather there is a chance that you may get a little muddy, so bringing a change of footwear for the journey home is a good idea.

Can I bring my dog with me?

Diggerland does not allow entry of dogs to our sites, with the exception of Guide Dogs and Assistance Dogs. This is for the safety of other visitors, as well as your pet. We also ask that you do not leave your dog in your vehicle, as the Diggerland car parks are not shaded and dogs can very quickly become distressed.
