At the weekend I took my 7yr old grandson to Diggerland in Kent. This was a first for me so I wasn't sure what to expect.
All the machines are what you would find on building sites and the only difference I could see was the restriction on speed. He was able to drive unaided, dumper trucks and an even larger truck where he struggled a little to reach the pedals.
This was him
One of his favourite machines was this excavator.
This was more of a fairground ride where they were lifted high into the air and swung round and round. I could not be tempted to go on this but he loved it. I have to say it was an excellent day out and for once, worth the money as there was enough here to keep him occupied for hours.
When I was young, I think I would have enjoyed Diggerland very much. No, get real. I would have enjoyed it now at my age.
ReplyDeleteMy boys would have also loved Diggerland, but I think I might have left it to my husband or brothers to take them.
DeleteThat looks such an amazing place and great fun for children.
ReplyDeletep.s: It's in Rochester, where I come from!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a park.
ReplyDeleteLooks fun!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for your grandson. They love machinerly like this at that age. My nana's family came from Kent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place for a little boy. Like you I would have given the ride a miss but can imagine the screams of excitement from the wee ones.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place for little people.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome place for kids, I'm sure he had a blast.
