Head to a museum to see a life-size T-Rex, take to the water to see puffins and seals, or visit a 17-acre zoo to spot porcupines, tarantulas and snow leopards... Check out 10 of the best family days out in the NorthEast of England this summer:
Diggerland Durham is ideal for adults and kids alike – who doesn’t want to drive a digger? Here you can navigate a full-size JCB, scoop up buckets of soil in a giant digger, or race against each other on the Go-Karts. There are also mini Land Rovers to drive, 1-tonne dumpers to steer, a JCB carousel merry-go-round and more. It’s accessible for people with disabilities, with easy parking, free carer entry and tarmac or gravelled pathways for manoeuvrability.
Be aware, however, that even though kids who are taller than 90cm pay the same entry price as an adult, it doesn’t mean they can go on all the rides. For example, if your little one is over 90cm, it costs £25.95 for them to enter, but they still can’t enjoy the Spindizzy , Mini Tractors , Ground Shuttle , Stack Attack , or Crazy Carts attractions. The dodgems, quad bikes and Superdigs also cost an extra £1 a ride.
The site isn’t huge, although MadeForMums tester Puneet, who visited in August with kids Tara, 4, Mili, 7, and Arjun, 11, saw this as a bonus. “I could keep an eye on my daughter while I went on another ride. I can’t imagine this happening at any other theme park. It felt safe and cosy.”Kids charged same fees as adults, small site, extra costs for some rides
