What age/s is it geared for? Thanks.

Diggerland is great. Certainly one of the better family parks. If your child is 6+ then they can operate most of the machines by themselves or sit with an adult. My ds is 6 a day he drove a mini truck round the circuit all by himself. My 12 yr old niece came once and she was able to drive a automatic car.

DS is 15 and I'm wondering if it'll be too young for him?

Yeah it will perhaps be by and large too young for a 15 yr old. I think these family parks are generally too young for that age anyway. There is the car and diggers for them to use though.

Maybe not then. DH is desperate to go! The thought of dragging around a poor 15 kid who doesn't want to be there doesn't really appeal ...

We’ve been several times and there are always adults having a go on the diggers and rides too!

I agree with PP - I think 15 is now too old for most of the activities at Diggerland. My DC loved it through primary school and they were able to drive the car at about age 10-11. I now book them young driver lessons instead.

My local one is about £20 per person and the adults all have to pay too, regardless of whether you use the equipment. .

It’s really good! But 15 I would say is way too old.

Took DC when they were preschoolers. They loved it then. If your 15 yr old's idea of fun is driving a tractor through some mud, he might enjoy it.
