Heavy Equipment Attractions in the US that You Shouldn't Miss

We have news about the latest Vegas outdoor activities. Hint: heavy equipment attractions. No kidding! Remember how you played with dump trucks and bulldozers and excavators? That can be a reality now that the US now has three heavy equipment attractions available to the public.

Vegas Outdoor Activities for the Family

Dig This is not just a place for big boys! Their outdoor activities in Vegas are suitable for the whole family. At Dig This, even kids as young as 14 years may try the Caterpillar Excavator for a couple of hours.

Being the first to open a heavy equipment attraction in the US, Ed Mumm takes pleasure in letting others experience what he felt when he was digging the initial excavation for his own home. He’s a former fencing contractor but he never had the chance to drive an excavator. When he did, it was so much fun! That’s why he started Dig This in Colorado. Now, Dig This is the only place in Las Vegas where everyone can give heavy equipment a try.

Trip Advisor considers Dig This one of the best 25 US amusement parks. It’s no surprise because Dig This is a favorite among tourists and locals alike.

Minnesota Destruction Zone

You can also find the same kind of entertainment in Hastings, Minnesota. Extreme Sandbox only started 2 years ago. At present, they have a 6,300 square foot venue where their gift shop, equipment shop, conference room, and office is found.

The Destruction Zone is one of their top attractions. At the site, you can demolish a junk car with a 19-ton excavator. You can also operate fire trucks and even if you have zero experience in driving large machinery, you will be safe because of a 15-minute training.

Big Toy Playground in Arizona

Big Toy Playground is the newest outdoor attraction in Williams, Arizona. In August 2014, Larry Fox and his wife opened Big Toy Playground. The idea was conceived when Larry saw how contractors were having fun testing John Deere equipment at a demo in Sacaton. He opened the business in the hopes of giving the same enjoyment to the public.

Try Dig This if you are looking for a Las Vegas outdoor activity that the whole family will enjoy. No other company could offer this kind of fun in Vegas. Visit the Dig This website to find out more.
