Diggerland

"The Summer fun's right here at Diggerland..." I should start by saying that if you haven't already done so you should definitely visit the Diggerland website (http://www.diggerland.com/) and experience the catchy Diggerland theme song. We first visited Diggerland in Devon (Verbeer Manor, Cullompton, Devon EX15 2PE) whilst on holiday in February and recently visited again for my son's birthday. From first impressions the park seems a bit sorry for itself, especially in British drizzle, but 10 minutes in and even I (with no strong feelings about diggers of any kind) was having a whale of a time. During our most recent visit, we were able to take the ...  Read the complete review

A friend had recently visited Diggerland in Medway and my son had seen adverts locally so we contcted them to organise a party. They supplied all the invites and a menu options list via the post.

However, we had a good fun day, although the site was much smaller than I expected and there was enough to do for about 4 hours. We went in the October half term and although we had to queue for a couple of the rides, it was not ridiculous like Alton Towers and we managed to go on everything there through the course of the day. The rides ranged from static diggers where you had to use ...  Read the complete review

Diggerland is a very unique idea in the tourist industry. It all came about when one man realised how many 'ordinary' people and children desperately wanted to get their hands on mechanical diggers, and so all the activities in the park revolve around them and the ideas of digging and building. Attractions include rides, drives and static displays, along with play areas both indoors and out. As well as riding on and driving different types of construction machinery you can learn about the workings of these machines. Diggerland can be found at three sites in the UK. One in Durham, one in Devon and one in Kent. They have also recently opened a site in Dubai. As ...  Read the complete review
