Lappa Valley is the only attraction in Cornwall that transports families on an exciting nostalgic train ride into a secret world of traditional fun and family adventures. Children will delight in the thrill of train and boat rides, explore nature, and let off steam in our outdoor spaces. Then explore The Engine Shed, which is home to our multi-level indoor soft play area and café where you can refuel in comfort with delicious home-cooked meals. Located in the rolling Cornish countryside just outside Newquay, we’ve been consistently awarded the enviable accolade of being the best day out in Cornwall for families. You will discover a fantastic day of adventure and discovery. Pay once and play all day, with activities included in your admission price. With a whole host of family-friendly activities including three railways, this is a day of family fun not to be missed. The railways run through this oasis of conservation, where wildlife thrives in a protected environment. As well as the trains you can enjoy our leisure park and some of our latest additions - including a new 12-hole accessible adventure golf course and a 10-hole disc golf course. There are also pedalo swans on the lake, a toddler’s path maze, trampolines, woodland walks, and outside adventure play areas to discover. Don’t forget to get a snack, drink, or ice cream at The Crib Hut. A warm welcome is offered to one and all, regardless of ability. We offer wheelchair access and accessible toilets plus a full-size Changing Places toilet. Please see our website for full accessibility information. We are pleased to be one of Cornwall’s most popular dog-friendly attractions, and being dog-lovers ourselves we’ve made lots of little touches to make our four legged friends feel welcome and included. We charge a very small admission fee for doggy visitors, which includes a complimentary lip-smacking biscuit on arrival, sure to make any tail wag. We also have water bowls across the site, serve special Doggy Ice Cream in The Crib Hut and a big supply of free poo bags in case you forget yours. Dogs are welcome anywhere on site, with two exceptions: inside the soft play itself and on our trampolines – even though we’re sure they’d enjoy it. Take them on the trains, bring them in The Engine Shed Cafe, if you’re brave enough take them on the Pedalo Swans – we want your four-legged friends to get the most out of their visit too. We also have the Woodland Walk, and a dedicated dog exercise field which is available during the main season where you can let them off their lead to let off steam and even have a paddle in the stream. Find out more, see our opening dates and times and plan your visit on our website.
