Such a unique play centre. We travelled over 45 minutes to get here and it was well worth it. I’ve never seen so many dads at a play centre before and I genuinely don’t know who had more fun, my 3 year old son, my 7 year old daughter or my 40 year old husband. There really was something for everyone. I loved the foam construction wall, RC diggers & dump trucks and coin operated digger/crane. Yes you only get a certain amount of turns on the coin operated big digger & crane but I actually think that’s clever as it doesn’t create big line ups. The RC cars had kids start and then walk off so there were chances to walk up and use it without coins. So well thought out. Congrats on a thriving business that fills a gap in the industry.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A standout pick for construction-obsessed kids aged 18 months to 7 years. The hands-on machinery and problem-solving activities are unusually engaging β€” parents and dads in particular end up on the floor alongside the kids. Worth the drive time; multiple reviewers travelled over 45 minutes and found it justified.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Pack spare socks for adults and children β€” the sand is everywhere throughout the venue
⏰RC machines near the coin zone are often free when other kids step away
🎟️Birthday parties cater to mixed ages from 18 months to 6 years in one group
πŸš—The foam construction wall and plumbing zone suit older kids who want problem-solving challenges

β€œβ­β­β­β­β­ Fantastic Experience for Toddlers! We had an amazing day at Diggersland! My little one is a toddler and he absolutely loved every moment β€” from the mini diggers to the interactive play areas. The staff were friendly and patient, making sure the kids were safe while still having loads of fun. It’s such a unique experience watching them operate real machinery designed for children! We will definitely be back again. Highly recommend for families with young kids! πŸš§πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈπŸ’› I have seen few comments regarding being overwhelming which is not true. We will be coming here back all the time.”

β€œAmazing day at Diggerland! So many tactile activities that require creativity and problem solving for young minds! We build houses, did some plumbing, used the machines to transport bricks, created β€œcement” in the turning drums, had fun in the ball pit and spent a lot of time on the crane and arm-peddled trucks! And then there’s the coin operated machines - RC cars, cranes and excavators! Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!”

β€œA great experience and highly recommend. We travelled over an hour to get there and it was worth it. It’s a good size, clean, lovely staff and so much to do. I’m a boy mum so this was a dream. My tip for parents would be aware you will be walking around in bare feet or socks, so maybe bring a spare pair to go home in as you and your kids as you will be walking around in sand. Make sure you check it out!”
