Hi Claire,
Thank you for contacting the Diggerland Guest Relations team regarding your recent visit to Diggerland Durham. Please be assured that we welcome all feedback, as it helps us to continually review and improve the service we provide to our guests.
Firstly, we are sorry to hear that your recent visit did not quite live up to your expectations.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the admission charges for your grandson. However, our admission policy is based on height rather than age, as children over 90cm are able to enjoy the majority of the rides and drives available at Diggerland. This information is clearly outlined on both our Tickets & Prices page and our Rides & Drives page, which includes a detailed Ride Height Chart.
When making your booking, the booking process also explains that only children under 90cm qualify for free admission. As your grandson was measured by our admissions team at just under 1 metre tall on arrival, he exceeded the 90cm threshold and therefore required a paid admission ticket. We always recommend that parents and adults measure children before visiting to ensure they purchase the correct tickets in advance.
Having spoken with the Durham management team, they have confirmed that your grandson did not want to participate in the attractions after entering the park. We are genuinely sorry that he did not enjoy the experience and that this resulted in your visit being cut short. To help guests decide whether Diggerland is suitable for their family before booking, our website contains detailed information, photographs and videos showcasing our rides, drives and attractions.
Customer service is something we take great pride in, and we are frequently commended for the professionalism and helpfulness of our staff. Following discussions with the Durham management team, we have been advised that our admissions staff and managers remained polite throughout your visit, explained our admission policies, and did their best to assist you within the scope of our policies. We also received plenty of positive feedback regarding our staff on the day of your visit from other members of the public.
While we appreciate your disappointment that you were unable to enjoy a full day at the park, we are unable to offer a refund for your admission tickets. Our policy for pre-booked tickets is outlined within our Terms and Conditions, which you would have agreed to during the booking process. The information regarding ticket requirements based on height is also clearly available on our website prior to purchase.
We understand that this is not the outcome you were hoping for and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
Best wishes,
Alice Green (Guest Relations)
Excellent customer service and quality of jacket .
Ordered 2 items and received email next day from Louise to state may be delayed slightly as courier advised couldn't deliver to my house. Odd as never had issues before, but they would deliver to nearby shop. Louise confirmed parcel traced and sent copy of tracker with instructions to advise if any issues. Parcel arrived 2 days later than id hoped but came by Royal Mail directly to my door.. I appreciated Louise getting in touch to advise of possible delay and her whole profession tone and friendly approach. Tone of emails lovely and friendly throughout. The denim jacket exceeded my expectations and I cannot stress enough the value for money as the quality was excellent. The sizing is also generous in my opinion. I expected a thinner version with bigger logo but received high quality with discreet logo ( grandson doesn't really do logos ) . Grandson visiting Diggerland next weekend and will wear his jacket proudly. Thank you . Xx

Very good value
Very good value. Our grandson, at 20 months, had a fantastic time and was kept busy and excited for hours. The young staff were all friendly and professional. Food options are convenient 'fast food' and not necessarily value for money therefore I'd recommend taking a picnic/sandwiches.
But overall a great experience 👍

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We are delighted to hear that your grandson had such a fantastic time and that he was kept entertained and excited throughout your visit. It is also wonderful to know that our team made a positive impression.
With regard to the food options, the catering establishment on site is franchised and not directly operated by Diggerland. However, we fully understand and appreciate that the experience reflects on Diggerland overall. We will ensure your feedback is passed on to the Catering Manager for their attention.
Thank you again for your comments and recommendation. We hope to welcome you and your family back again soon.

Leuk met nasmaak
Hi, nice, but with a nasty aftertaste. I am a 46-year-old man with my 8-year-old son (height 1.35m). It started with the entrance fee of 80 pounds. Almost 100 euros. I saw that if you book online it saves half the price. Bummer, but the problem was the different water slides he wasn't allowed on because he wasn't 1.40m tall. That was definitely the second frustrating moment. Otherwise, the food was fine, and the ones he was allowed on were great, though. But I thought it was a bit expensive for what we got in return.

We’re glad you found the park quiet enough to enjoy the rides more than once, and that our team helped make your day even more special.

Overpriced, overated and very dissappionting!
We visited this park today with our 2 grandchildren aged 4 and 2 yrs old. We were charged £118.50 for 3 tickets as our 2 year old was under 90cm so she went free (thanks for that as she couldn't go on any rides at all ) We was absolutely shocked at the price of £39.50 each for adults and children.
To add insult to injury, they place all small diggers and little rides around the park that have to be paid for, they are not included in the £39.50 fee to enter the park! They cost £1 per Ride, the bumper cars are also chargeable. You have to purchase tokens from the gift shop to ride the bumper cars! We are beyond unhappy with the park experience and the extortionate entry prices. I would rate it as a 2* park! Never to return!

Hi Claire,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent visit.
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with aspects of your experience, particularly regarding pricing. Our £39.50 ticket is our on-the-day price; however, all visitors do have the option to pre-book tickets in advance to benefit from a reduced rate of £25.95 per person for anyone over 90cm. Tickets would have been available to purchase on our website.
All of our main rides and drives are included within the entry fee. We only have a small number of coin-operated rides and the Dodgems, which are £1 per go. These are entirely optional and available at the discretion of visitors should they wish to use them.
We do appreciate your comments and are sorry that your visit did not meet expectations. Please be assured that we will pass your feedback on internally for review and consideration.
Best wishes,
Diggerland
Rides were great
Rides were great. Staff were mostly positive and engaged. The ride times can be a bit short, so if you’re there on a busy day you’ll spend a lot more time queuing than riding, however we got there on a quieter day.
Food at the Dig Inn onsite cafe was disappointing. Low quality, bland, not great value for money. Even the ketchup out of the bottle was questionable. The ice cream was nice though.
One star on food. The rest 4-5 star.

You won't be disappointed.
We went with two of our grandchildren and parents as a birthday treat for one of the kids .
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of machines were available to use. Everything was very well organized and there was a lot to do and see.i would definitely go back you need at least 4-5 hours there. The gift shop was well presented,and the soft play area was good for the kids to let off steam.the location of the site is easy to find and parking is very good.

Had an amazing time with my grandchildren, and it's hard to say who had more fun! The team there was excellent, offering incredible value and endless entertainment. The highlight was definitely the Dodgems, especially seeing my 14-year-old granddaughter behind the wheel of the 'Police SUV.' It was an absolute blast! We've visited before and will certainly return. Thanks to everyone who made it a great day!
