Diggerland Devon
Cullompton, DevonAbout Diggerland Devon
Diggerland Devon is one of the UK’s most unique and exciting family theme parks, offering a completely different kind of day out where children and adults alike can take control of real, full-sized construction machinery. Located at Verbeer Manor in Cullompton, just minutes from the M5, it is easily accessible for visitors travelling from across Devon and the South West, making it a perfect destination for holidays, weekends, and school breaks.
Unlike traditional amusement parks, Diggerland Devon gives guests the rare opportunity to climb into the driving seat of real diggers, dumpers, and other heavy-duty construction vehicles. It is an interactive, hands-on experience designed to be both thrilling and memorable, combining the excitement of a theme park with the realism of operating genuine machinery. Whether you are steering, digging, lifting, or racing, every activity is built around fun, adventure, and discovery.
A Unique Theme Park Experience
At the heart of Diggerland Devon is its wide range of rides and attractions, all themed around construction equipment. Visitors can enjoy driving real diggers, operating mini excavators, and taking control of dumper trucks under safe supervision. One of the park’s most popular experiences is digging and moving earth using real machinery, allowing guests to feel like real operators for the day.
For those seeking high-energy thrills, the park offers a selection of exhilarating rides. The Spindizzy provides a spinning, high-adrenaline experience that lifts riders into the air and rotates them in unexpected directions. The Groundshuttle offers a powerful off-road style ride that simulates the movement and force of heavy machinery in action. Meanwhile, Dig-a-Round gives younger visitors the chance to operate mini diggers in a safe and controlled environment, perfect for introducing them to the world of construction.
Other attractions include go-karts and dodgems, bringing a traditional amusement park feel into the construction-themed environment. These rides provide fast-paced fun and friendly competition for families and groups, ensuring there is something for everyone, regardless of age or thrill level.
Fun for All Ages
Diggerland Devon is designed primarily for children aged 4 to 14, but the park is structured so that visitors of all ages can participate. Parents, guardians, and even grandparents are encouraged to join in the fun, whether that means driving machinery, riding attractions, or simply watching and enjoying the excitement.
The park is particularly popular with families looking for something different from typical theme parks. Instead of passive rides, visitors are actively involved in the experience. This makes it especially appealing for children who are fascinated by big machines, vehicles, and construction sites.
Teenagers can also enjoy more advanced rides and driving experiences, while younger children have dedicated areas and scaled-down machinery designed just for them. This balance ensures that every member of the family has something exciting to do throughout the day.
School Trips and Educational Visits
Diggerland Devon is also a popular destination for school trips, offering an educational yet fun environment where children can learn about construction, engineering, and machinery in a practical way. Schools across Devon regularly visit the park to give pupils hands-on experience with real equipment, helping to bring classroom learning to life.
These trips encourage teamwork, confidence, and problem-solving skills, as children are guided through safe, supervised activities that involve operating machinery and understanding how different vehicles work. It is an ideal setting for educational enrichment, combining learning with excitement in a memorable outdoor environment.
Food, Drink, and Facilities
Visitors to Diggerland Devon can enjoy a range of food and drink options throughout the day. On-site cafés serve hot meals, snacks, and refreshments, including family favourites such as burgers, jacket potatoes, chicken nuggets, wraps, and ice cream. Vegetarian options are also available, ensuring that all dietary preferences are catered for.
Facilities at the park include baby changing areas, accessible toilets, and designated disabled parking spaces, making the park welcoming and convenient for all guests. There is also a gift shop where visitors can purchase souvenirs, toys, and branded merchandise to remember their day.
Seating areas are available throughout the park, allowing families to take breaks between rides and enjoy refreshments at their own pace.
Accessibility and Family Comfort
Diggerland Devon is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all visitors. The park includes accessible pathways and facilities to support guests with mobility needs, as well as free carer entry where applicable. Staff are trained to assist visitors and ensure that everyone can enjoy the attractions safely and comfortably.
The layout of the park is designed with families in mind, making it easy to navigate between attractions without long walking distances or complicated routes. This helps create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, even during busy periods.
Sustainability and Innovation
As part of a wider commitment to sustainability, Diggerland works alongside electric vehicle partners to promote greener travel and environmentally friendly practices. Electric vehicle charging points are available at parks, supporting the transition to cleaner transport options for visitors.
