Go Ape Matfen

Set in the beautiful Northumberland countryside this adventure filled day out in the North East has all the wind-in-your-face-zip-wires you could ever need. Our high ropes course will not disappoint with a range of obstacles designed to bamboozle the adventurous and inspire rookie risk-takers.

Fab few hours with my 10 year old son here. The instructor (Hannah) was great, good balance of humour whilst still making sure we all new what we were doing. And she was so supportive when my son had a little ‘wobble’ early on. After he got through the first Tarzan slide, he loved the rest of it, particularly the zip lines! I thought the 2nd Tarzan slide on stage 5 was awesome, but not for the feint-hearted. Great fun, great place, good exercise, highly recommended. I will be taking my work colleagues here for a corporate day in the future!

Diggerland

Diggerland is The Ultimate Adventure Theme Park Experience where children and adults alike can ride, drive and operate REAL diggers, dumpers and other full- size construction machinery. Diggerland is the perfect destination for action, fun and thrill packed family days out. Fun for all ages (subject to height restrictions), Diggerland with its 20 different rides and drives and an array of additional activities is the ideal theme park for small to large groups looking for something exciting and truly unique. Get to grips with real JCBs and 180/360 excavators, take a head-reeling turn or two on the Spindizzy, rise to lofty heights and enjoy the views on the Skyshuttle, enjoy an off-road ride on the Groundshuttle, or have a go on the Dodgems and Go-Karts!

We had an incredible day out. The staff were so happy and went out if their way to make sure we had a brilliant day out. They picked up on our kids names and guided them through activities with confidence and positive encouragement. I couldn’t rate DL Durham more highly. Thank you

Woodhorn Narrow Gauge Railway

In 1991, The Woodhorn Museum (Wansbeck Council) was given an ex mining locomotive and three man-riding cars by the NCB, following the closure of Vane Tempest Colliery near Durham.It was decided rather than allow these vehicles to become a static exhibition, it would serve the heritage of the community better if they were made operational and become a visitor attraction. A volunteer group was formed to manage and build a railway on which the vehicles could operate.

Prudhoe Waterworld

Reviewed By joliver2010 - Newcastle and Gateshead, United Kingdom

Visited Prudhoe Waterworld a few days ago with a 14 year old and a 10 year old. It was at a time when the slide and the waves were operating and they both loved it. The surroundings are very clean and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I sat in the very pleasant café where I was able to the fun going on. It is priced reasonably as well so it was a great day out. The kids stayed in more than an hour so they obviously enjoyed it.
