- jcgrillo 2y agothere are many parks, be the change you want to see in the world
- davidsojevic 2y agoI once looked into this and there's actually more than a handful of theme parks like this, one of which even has a few locations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggerland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggerland
- georgeburdell 2y agoHuh, I thought Peppa Pig just made up Diggerland (I have young children)
- alias_neo 2y agoDiggerland is amazing, we took our kids to the one near (in?) Leeds (NW England, UK), for my son's third birthday, he was able (allowed) to operate all but the largest which I would estimate is somewhere in the 7.5T range. The diggers don't move, they're fixed in position, and don't rotate, but otherwise you have full control of the arm using the normal stick-type controls. My 4yo daughter picked it up far quicker than myself despite me being a life-long gamer, but we all had a fantastic time. There are various games set up with different type of "diggers" such as "hook a duck"; with a hook on the end of the arm, 10-pin bowling; with a mini wrecking ball on the end of the arm, tyre stacking, where you drive a weird looking machine with pincers and rear wheel steering (that one was challenging) and of course "dig a hole".

- __m 2y agoIsn't there also some display "room" where they show these huge mining machines from CAT? They should have these at malls where wifes can drop their husbands off
- alias_neo 2y agoTook my kids last year to Diggerland for my son's birthday, we had a great time, would highly recommend, see my other comment in this thread for a taste of what we saw/did.
- youngtaff 2y agoIt’s a few years since I’ve been but Diggerland is fab Ever better is hiring a mini-digger from your local plant hire company when you’ve got some real work to do

- escapecharacter 2y agoWent to this last year. Had the time of my life.
- m463 2y agoI'm reminded of the episode of malcolm in the middle where they bring a giant wood chipper home. And then start feeding random stuff into it...
- kylebenzle 2y agoThese are tiny and very boring to use, literally a kids toy.
- stevage 2y agoThere's one in my area called Big Boys Toys or similar.
