Diggerland: Durham...

[Davie]

Bit of a random one but I'm debating taking my little boy down to Diggerland in October and wondered if anybody has any first hand / recent experience? Have had a read through the reviews on line and it seems pretty positive but you never know! Also, is it the sort of place you could be most the day without running out of things to do? It's mainly for my little boy (4yrs) but that's maybe just a thinly veiled excuse for me to get involved with unnecessarily powerful machinery too. Will also have the wife and a 1yr old in tow who may be less enthused hence I ask plus it's a fair old skelp down the road from Central Scotland, hence just doing my homework in advance.

Cheers

It's good but ridiculously expensive. If you can find some coupons take them with you. Everyone in the queue bar us had coupons...

I just noted that on their website... £22.80 each, including the 4yr old given he's over their 90cm cut off. Also noted that it's only open at the weekends mid October - had hoped to go mid week in the hope it'd be quieter but then again if they're limiting numbers due to Covid.

Shaping up to be a dear day out... might be more cost effective to hire a mini digger from Jewsons and let him loose in the garden!

Never been to Diggerland, but if you do go this place always does canny bait and is just up the hill.
