All the staff were brilliant. Food was nice too & canteen staff great. Police car experience and JCB driving is great. Plenty to do. Just check the height restrictions. Safari is nice too. Would suggest booking in advance. · via Google [Paul Edwards](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116204137588021153980/reviews) ★★★★★ The most fun you could have with your clothes on. A great day out. All rides are controlled, and organised, by staff. We went on a Saturday during the school holidays and it was perfect, controlled, no queues and all the rides your body could handle. I'm 64 and together with my 8 year old grandson we had a fabulous time. He cant wait to go back. · via Google [Md Abdul Hai](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/101180395234045332992/reviews) ★★★★★ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diggerland Durham is a fantastic family attraction and a unique day out for all ages. Getting the chance to drive, ride, and operate real construction machinery is an unforgettable experience. The staff are friendly, professional, and always happy to help, making everyone feel safe and welcome. The park is clean, well organised, and offers plenty of fun activities throughout the day. Whether you’re visiting with children or just looking for something different, Diggerland is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended for a fun-filled and memorable day! · via Google [Gamer Girl](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102896744917923781646/reviews) ★★★★★ I was disappointed with my visit to Diggerland. I'd seen so many positive reviews, so it's unfortunate that I'm having to write a negative one. When we first arrived, the staff were welcoming, and there is a gift shop at the entrance. However, there aren't many rides and attractions available. If your child is under 90 cm, I wouldn't recommend visiting, as they check height restrictions at every attraction, and children under 90 cm have very limited options despite receiving free entry. The concept of Diggerland is great, but I don't think it offers good value for money. Tickets cost £26 per person if booked online or £40 per person on the day, and some attractions require an additional payment, which I don't think is fair considering the admission price. Because there aren't many rides, you'll likely have experienced everything within a few hours, making the ticket price feel even less worthwhile. I also don't think adults should have to pay the same admission fee when they're only accompanying children, as it's primarily a children's attraction. If you're planning to visit, I'd recommend bringing a packed lunch or snacks. The cafeteria was expensive for the portion sizes, and I didn't find the food particularly enjoyable. Diggerland does have an indoor soft play area located next to the food court, which is a nice addition for younger children. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy Diggerland because the idea behind it is unique, but unfortunately I left feeling disappointed. For the price you pay, I expected more attractions and better value for money. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487e7fb1498defeb:0xd11230ee7a05e973!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this theme park offers a unique experience where children and adults can operate real construction machinery, including diggers, dump trucks, and JCBs. They also highlight the friendly, patient, and helpful staff who enhance the experience. Many mention the reasonable prices for food and drinks, and the minimal queues even during busy periods.
