28, 29 November, 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 December 2026
A whole festive day out – with a very special visit to Father Christmas at the heart of it.
There’s a wealth of family-friendly activities to enjoy here at Lappa Valley. From our Boating Lake to our Adventure Golf Course, from outdoor adventures to indoor fun, from our musical trail to our woodland walks, there’s plenty of fun to be had on our 35-acre site.
Located in the countryside just outside Newquay, we’re one of the best days out in Cornwall for families.
Find out all you need to know about planning your visit to our much-loved attraction.
Pre-booking is highly recommended.
Open all year, children can let off steam in our exciting indoor multi level soft play, whilst adults refuel in the comfort of our comfortable modern cafe. Accessible on all days that Lappa Valley is open and included in the price of your admission.
Lappa Valley offers a range of train driver experiences and footplate rides on our locomotives for those adults who always dreamed of riding the rails.
Lappa Valley is the only attraction in Cornwall that transports families on an exciting nostalgic train ride from the car park, 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.
When that big day comes, make sure your little one has the best Birthday Party by booking one at Lappa Valley! With lots of opportunities to make the occasion extra special!
Enjoy visits throughout the year, including sessions in the Engine Shed Soft Play with your very own great-value Lappa Valley Membership - starting from less than £6 per month.

On Saturday 5th December, our 9.30am, 10.30am and 11.30am trains will be reserved exclusively for families and groups visiting with individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
Earlier this summer, we shared a first look at the work being carried out on City of Derby, one of our two large passenger diesel locomotives. Since then, the project has developed into a comprehensive overhaul, with improvements being made from the wheelsets right through to the driver’s cab.
