Diggerland Durham - Durham

Amazing day for our boys 2nd birthday. We knew in advance that he wouldn't be allowed to go on a lot of rides as he is only 85 cm not 90cm but I feel like he could of easily gone on alot more.
Great day out though with very friendly staff and lovely food. Will definitely go back when he grows abit.

Overall the place is great for kids! And some bigger kids too!
Do feel the price for adults was expensive! Especially if you don’t go on anything, feel there should be an option for this.
Our child was overwhelmed and didn’t want to go on anything other than the little rides which were annoyingly the ones that you pay for. I think these rides should be free especially after paying the high fee to already get in.
I agree with someone else in the comment section too that it was a bit ridiculous not to even have somewhere to get change at the facility, I also felt annoyed that one of the £1 sit on quads (blue one) wasn’t working properly, and my child was left feeling disappointed as did a couple of other kids we seen use it. (My fault I didn’t mention it to a member of staff)
Also I found a women staff member to be a bit difficult at one of the rides (far end one where your lifted up high and driven round) she measured our child saying she was under a meter yet every other ride she measured over! If she was under we wouldn’t have paid the full price for her! Then when a couple of us adults decided to go on. We waited patiently at the gate while this same women spoke to a couple of kids for about 10 minutes. (They were the only two on ride) then ignored the fact we were standing there then proceeded to get on her digger. So we gave up and walked away feeling frustrated.
All other staff we spoke with were lovely and freindly. The guy doing safari trip across from it was fab! Very funny!

I have seen this place over the years and thought it was a great idea. I read loads of reviews saying expensive but worth it, so gave it a go. It was my sons birthday so we took a 7,9 and 14 year old. Definite not cheap as everyone needed to pay full price regardless of wither they wanted to use the machinery or not but they loved it! The guy at the front desk offered to put his name on the birthday board, which was really kind. There were only 2 things the wee 2 couldn't drive, but everything else was good to go. The 14 year old loved driving the car, an unexpected experience as we didn't know there was a car! They loved everything. The food was reasonable too. I was expecting the prices to be shocking, but they weren't, which was a pleasant surprise! We were really lucky and went on a nice day, I don't fancy the thought of going on a wet day at all. It was a really great day. It was an added bonus that we could charge the car!

What a great family day. It seems expensive when you book it but actually it was such a fab day. The staff there are so friendly and all of them were really lovely with the children, explaining everything with patience and a smile. The catering staff were helpful and friendly too. I thought the menu for lunch had lots of choice and wasn't overpriced like most places you visit nowadays. There were so many rides and diggers to choose from we were there from 10.30 to 4pm and there was still somethings we hadn't had a go of! Shout out to Safari Dave who was hilarious with his one-liners as he drove the safari jeep!

Brilliant experience for my 8 year old Grandson and his parents. All thoroughly enjoyed using the diggers and the varied rides.
Main highlight was an 8 yeat old being able to experience driving a real car! (Under close supervision).
All staff very friendly and informative.
Great family visit, thank you.

A bit expensive for the size and amount of rides. The amusement park is smaller than you think and is very compact. That being said my 8 year old grandson enjoyed himself. The cafe was good here. The day we went it was a quiet day and I think on a busy day you would have to que a lot.

It was a very nice day, people from staff is kind, nice and fun. Restaurant Is good, so many options, not expensive. We were so happy and we are going to back next season, or maybe celebrate my son's birthday.

Rides and attractions
Kids had so much fun riding and operating real sizes machines,
safari ride was fun as driver was funny and interactive with kids.
Kids spent a lot of time digging and learning to operate real size excavator, diggers and dumpers.
Spindizzy was amazing, I loved it. Always wanted to sit in the bucket and have a spin in real excavator.
Train behind the dumper was relaxing and surprisingly comfy.

Food and indoors
Delicious, absolutely lovely
Polite and smiley staff,
Food prices are good, lower prices than expected and our baguettes were amazing.

After all
We will definitely be going back.
We travelled all the way from NE Scotland but it was worth it.
Staff was really polite, happy, likes to joke, interacting with us, since the moment we arrived at front desk to the moment we left everyone was smiling and looked happy to work for diggerland.

I would give more than 5 stars
Amazing experience for kids and adults
