Adventure Valley Farm Park Durham is a full day of animal encounters, indoor soft play, go karts and tractor rides for families.
“Kids loved the go karts and jelly belly’s could do with something more for the older kids but was still a good day out. As a pensioner taking the grandkids it’s not a cheap day out should maybe have a discount for pensioners.”

“This was a fantastic way to see Durham and learn about the history of the city. Peter was knowledgeable and personable. He selected great pubs for the stops and kept the tour a perfect balance of education and fun. I would recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike!”
