It’s the perfect place to lose yourself in nostalgia with delightful train rides that transport you from the car park station deep into this secret world full of adventures. Beyond the rails, there’s a fun boat lake with pedalos, an all-weather adventure golf course sprinkled with quirky railway-themed obstacles, and spacious outdoor play areas where kids can run wild and let off steam all day. The Engine Shed houses a fantastic multi-level indoor soft play centre and a cosy café, perfect for refuelling while the little ones explore.

Ideal for all ages, Lappa Valley blends nature and entertainment effortlessly, making it a brilliant day out for families craving both excitement and relaxation.
