Diggerland is an
adventure park like no other! Children (and adults) can ride and
drive real construction machinery! The Diggerland Diggers range
from one to eight and a half tonnes of metal.
|
There are four Diggerland parks in the UK, based in Devon,
Durham, Kent and the newest addition is Yorkshire. Each park
offers educational visits for schools and general visits.
Educational Visits
Diggerland can help to provide valuable information, training,
and first hand experience. Children can experience Diggerland
with the emphasis on "Learning through fun". Several areas of
the National Curriculum are catered for, primarily in Science
and Design & Technology, making Diggerland the perfect location
for school trips. |
 |
A visit to Diggerland is particularly useful in connection with
the following modules:
Key Stage 1 & 2 Design & Technology Module
• Unit 1a Vehicles
• Unit 6c Fairground
• Unit 6d Controllable Vehicles
Key Stage 2 Science Module
• Unit 9l Pressure & Moments |
 |
Workbooks are available for the students and there will also be
a question and answer session.

General School Trips
If you need a school trip the students will remember, then
Diggerland is the place to visit. Bring along your class or
group and come and try out the rides and drives. Bookings can be
taken when the park is open or closed.
|
If you wish to make a trip to Diggerland when the park is
closed to the public, you can arrange a two and a half hour
visit,
• either from 10am until 12.30pm
• or from 1.30pm until 4.00pm
on a weekday during term time. The minimum group size for such a
visit is 25 children. If you wish to arrange a visit to
Diggerland when the park is open to the public then you can
visit at any time from 10am until 5pm.
The minimum group size
for a visit at a time when Diggerland is open to the public is
10 children, to take advantage of our special group rate for
schools |
