About Lappa Valley

Lappa Valley is the only attraction in Cornwall that transports families on an exciting nostalgic train ride from our car park station into a secret world of all-weather traditional fun and family adventures.

Children will delight in the thrill of train rides, exploring nature, and letting 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, you will discover a fantastic day of award-winning adventure and discovery. Pay once and play all day, with a whole host of family-friendly activities included in your admission.

Our three railways run through an oasis of conservation, where wildlife thrives in a protected environment. As well as the trains you can enjoy our leisure park, including a 12-hole accessible adventure golf course and a 10-hole frisbee 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.

Hop on board! You’ll be assured a very warm welcome.

"The staff are incredibly friendly, passionate about their work and the trains. They love to make the whole experience magical for kids."
"Well kept, lots of different activities which are all free once you are in there (except the electric cars which I think you need tokens for from the gift shop). We loved riding on the different trains, my daughter who uses a wheelchair was well accommodated for."
"Great day out. Highly recommended. A very reasonable price too The staff were super friendly. Considering the type of attraction Lappa Valley is I must say it is one of the most dog friendly places of its type we have been to. The little one loved it and so did we. Would definitely visit again."
