Mini Land Rover Adventure

Our Mini Land Rover Adventure is the chance for young children to get behind the wheel of one of our very cool electric Mini Land Rovers.

Licensed by Jaguar Land Rover, these are a scaled down versions of the real thing suitable for children aged 4 to 11.
These little off roaders make easy work of our specially constructed course with hills to climb and descend, bumps, turns and an easy to steer route.

How It Works

The experience lasts for 15 minutes and starts with driver instruction and a safety briefing before the adventure begins. It can be booked online below or you can pay on the day of your visit subject to availability

A responsible adult will then be armed with a remote switch so in the unlikely event of “driver error” the Land Rover can be brought to an instant stop.

The adventure costs £15.00 and can be taken independently from entry to the Great British Car Journey (although we do highly recommend a visit for your children here too)   

Our Track

Our specially constructed desert adventure course is based next to our picnic area in front of  the museum entrance 

Our little off roaders make short work of climbing and descending the hills. They are also really easy to steer and can comfortably navigate the bumps / turns of the desert landscape

The adventure includes multiple laps of the course 

All families joining us for the Mini Land Rover Adventure are welcome to use our Filling Station Cafe, Toilets & Outside Picnic area for free and can also upgrade to get a museum entry ticket  

Our Land Rovers

Licensed by Jaguar Land Rover, these are very scaled down versions of the real thing suitable for children aged 4 to 11.

The Land Rover is an absolutely iconic British design and every farm in Derbyshire would once have been home to one.

Children love a “Landie”and this is a unique opportunity for them to actually get behind the wheel in a safe and controlled environment.
