AT Diggerland you can forget classic fairytale castles and rollercoasters because this one-of-a-kind theme park has none of that.
What it does have is plenty of JCBs, tractors and dumper trucks that kids can drive around themselves – which makes it arguably the strangest… and best day out for a family.
The theme park, which has four sites across the UK, will reopen on February 14, 2026 – just in time for half-term digging fun.
Diggerland is where kids can drive and operate real construction machinery – something they can’t do anywhere else.
They can use them to dig for treasure, navigate mini-tractors, and get spinning on the Spin Dizzy ride.
There’s also a tractor ride, safari adventure course, and kids can even use mini-excavators to play hook a duck.
And new for 2026 is the Crazy Trikes attraction – three-wheeler bikes that are designed to make OTT spins.
Diggerland says of the experience: “Buckle up and unleash your inner dare-devil as you spin, twirl, and whirl in every direction imaginable in our new Crazy Trikes.
“Spin into doughnuts like a pro or cruise at superb speeds.”
Diggerland is running a very limited-time special offer during February half-term.
Families can buy two standard general admission tickets on the day of their visit for £39.50pp and get two more tickets completely free.
So, a family of four can enjoy a full day of digger fun for £79.
Just make sure to present the voucher (found online) on arrival – and note that you can’t use this on pre-booked tickets.
The offer is valid only during February half term, on days Diggerland is open between February 14 and March 1, 2026 and is available at all four UK locations.
Lauren Nelson, Marketing Manager at Diggerland, said: “We’re so excited to be welcoming visitors back for our 2026 season, and we’re already planning to start the year with a bang.
“February half term is the perfect time for families to enjoy something a little different, and with our special offer plus the launch of the brand new Crazy Trikes attraction, there’s never been a better time to visit and create unforgettable memories together.”
‘Diggerland has to be seen to be believed’
The Sun’s Head Of Travel, Digital, Caroline McGuire, visited Diggerland in Rochester and here’s what she had to say…
“Diggerland has to be seen to be believed – and even then it’s quite hard to compute.
“We spent the day riding dumper trucks around a gravel pit, digging stones out of a hole with a full-sized digger and riding around a muddy concourse while seated in an enormous bucket.
“In fact, there are quite a few variations on each of those themes.
“You can dig for mud, “gold bricks”, stones or toy ducks. You can drive a dumper, take a digger safari, ride backwards in a bucket carousel – somehow, they’ve made 20 different rides from machinery.”
“If that doesn’t suffice, there are also plenty of coin- operated (you’ve guessed it) car and digger rides dotted around the place.
“With the exception of a couple of car attractions, everything comes straight off a construction site, and if you know any young kids you’ll know there lies the appeal.
“And if the weather is bad, there’s also an indoor soft-play area and bouncy castle next door.”
