Diggerland Kent

Rochester, United Kingdom•4.5(2k)•Playground, Theme Park

Operate real diggers and construction equipment at this unique outdoor adventure park designed for children aged 4-14.

Diggerland Kent is an interactive outdoor theme park where children can operate genuine JCB diggers, dumpers, and other heavy construction machinery under professional supervision. The venue offers hands-on experiences that allow visitors to drive, dig, and operate real equipment on a specially designed site, making it distinctly different from traditional amusement parks. The park features multiple rides and drives suited to various age groups and heights, with a dedicated ride height chart to ensure appropriate attractions for each child. Families can enjoy the Diggerland Café on-site, and the venue accommodates school groups, birthday parties, and corporate events. With multiple locations across the UK (Kent, Devon, Durham, and Yorkshire), Diggerland provides a unique blend of outdoor adventure and practical engineering experience. Diggerland is particularly appealing to children aged 4-14 who have an interest in construction, vehicles, and hands-on activities. The venue also offers special adult experience days for older visitors and gift vouchers. Facilities include meeting spaces for groups and private site huts for celebrations, making it suitable for both casual family days out and organised events.

Out of all the attractions I have taken my wife and son this was the best. The staff were amazing. The machines were so fun to experience. It ticked all the boxes for a fun family day out. I would come back and again. And highly recommend.

What a fantastic day out at Diggerland! We absolutely loved every ride - each one was safe, fun, and surprisingly thrilling! The whole park runs like a well-oiled machine: staff were cheerful, helpful, and clearly passionate about providing the best customer service. A tiny note: the café and restrooms felt a little retro, and a fresh update would definitely help.

Absolutely brilliant day out for young kids, old kids and middle aged men (like me). My 10 year old had the best day of his life driving and controlling full sized machinery. My youngest aged 7 found a couple of the bigger excavators a bit scary due to the hydraulics but everything else he loved. Highly recommend. Please note we went off peak in March. I imagine during summer holidays this place gets very busy.

Visited on termbreak with kids and family ... best place for a family day out both kids and adults can enjoy ... worth for the money spent ... unlike so called amusement parks no unending ques of 1-2 hr for a 2 minutes ride .. no fast track (not needed). Friendly and professional staff ... if you enter 10 am by closing time you can enjoy all the rides .... ample parking facility .. no extra add ons( only bumping cars with token of 1 pound...) . All the attractions and rides are at.perfect working condition .... whole family enjoyed ... thanks to team diggerland ... highly recommended ....

Wow!!! We visited for the first time today, from start to end it was an amazing day. There had been alot of rain so it was very muddy and wet from the day before but I believe it added to the whole experience! Sloshing threw the mud and puddles on massive machinery was awesome! Staff were all very friendly and helpful and fully engaged with us! All of them were so lovely it was nice to feel like the staff wanted you to have a great time! You will need a £1 each for dodgems tokens but we got on all the other rides for free. Cafe was very clean, our food arrived quickly, we have 2 x breakfast, a panini, plate of chips and 3 hot drinks it was £45 which wasn't bad. The food arrived quickly and was all very yummy. Lots of toilets, all clean and well looked after. Pack wellies! Thank you we will definitely be back ❤️❤️
