Dig This, located on W Roban Ave in Las Vegas, is perhaps best described as a huge sandbox for adults. Basically, you get to use bulldozers and excavators to move huge amounts of dirt, dig holes and so much more.
About Dig This
Dig This offers an amazing experience for anybody aged 3 and up. Covering a 5 acre site, they provide not only excavation options for kids, but individuals and even groups as well as birthday parties. This is the kind of attraction that ignites the big kid in all of us while it shows you the real power that this machinery has while being supervised at all times.
The Equipment at Dig This
They have everything you could ever think of when it comes to excavators, bulldozers, and skid steers. Add in their 5-ton excavator and what they call their aggression session, where you basically crush and destroy a vehicle, and you have multiple ways to enjoy yourself.
The Experiences at Dig This
So, what about the different experiences on offer? Well, there are a number to choose from. We just mentioned the aggression session, and this is seriously cool. Lasting 30 minutes, you start things off by spraying comments on the vehicle before getting behind the controls of the excavator and get to work on destroying it. But that’s not all.
The skid steer experience lasts for 70 minutes with you able to move dirt around, learn how to stack tires and get around the obstacle course. However, if you want more power then the big bulldozer is the experience for you. This lasts for 90 minutes where you can rip up dirt, create huge mounds, push stuff around and generally just have a whole lot of fun. But if ripping up dirt isn’t for you, then there’s the large excavator experiences where you can dig holes with amazing precision before filling them in later.
In other words, there’s a wide range of experiences on offer at Dig This, and each one is going to be a whole lot of fun.
What About the Kids?
Kids aren’t left out of enjoying this attraction. After all, they may very well be the reason why you are considering Dig This in the first place. For the youngest kids, there’s the ride on an excavator to look forward to or the chance to sit there while the 6-ton excavator gets to work on digging a hole. This is going to take in the region of 90 minutes, but you can rest assured that your kid is going to love every minute of it.
Getting the Most Out of Dig This
It’s pretty easy to get the most out of this attraction. After all, most have never got behind the controls of one of these machines and it’s a brand new experience. From using the mini-excavator to dig a hole and filling it in, to the larger excavators where you can go significantly deeper. From moving huge amounts of dirt on various exercises with the bulldozer to even driving an obstacle course with the skid steer, you get to choose your specific experience depending on what appeals to you the most.
One thing you need to do, in order to avoid frustration, is to listen to the experienced staff. They will take you through not only the safety aspect but how to operate the controls. This alone will lead to you having a sense of achievement when you are able to complete the different exercises. Don’t think you will just fumble your way around the controls. You have set things that you can do, and they can only be achieved when you pay attention to the instructor.
Also, this attraction is one of the most popular in the whole of Las Vegas. As a result, you need to book well in advance to make sure you aren’t left disappointed.
