Diggerland Kent
Attraction Information
If your kids dream of driving their very own construction machinery, Diggerland Kent is the perfect place to make their dreams come true. Get behind the wheel of real-life diggers, dumpers, and other full-size construction vehicles on 20 different rides (Height restrictions apply). Younger ones can even hop on a mini digger on the hunt for buried treasure, or try their hand at mini tenpin bowling with a twist: taking control of a full-size Komatsu PC14 and attempting to knock over skittles with a mini wrecking ball! It’s a unique and thrilling way to bowl.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Get lifted in the air and spun around on the aptly named Spindizzy, or dare yourself to ride the bone-rattling Groundshuttle. For an even more exhilarating experience, fly 50 feet up in the air on the Skyshuttle. And if you need a break from all the action, there’s even an indoor soft play area for your little ones to enjoy. With so many exciting activities to choose from, Diggerland Kent is the ultimate destination for adventurous families.
