Dig IT Australia

After opening like a wrecking ball in May last year, Dig IT has welcomed thousands of kids (and grownups) to sit in the driver’s seat to operate their own mini-excavator, just like a real construction worker, in an outdoor construction zone on a mountain famous for rocks, and at a place that’s legendary for families, Thunderbird Park! Dig IT is custom-designed, all-ages activity featuring supercool activities that are fun, educational and engaging. Kids get hands-on experience learning about the construction industry, earthworks, engineering, building, the importance of safety, and teamwork. And there’s not an iPad or Screen anywhere! The superstars of Dig IT are the nine, CAT 1.7 tonne mini-excavators built right here in Queensland. They are the real deal, with hard hats and high vis gear required onsite. The experience sees kids sit the driver’s seat alone or on the lap of an adult, to try a range of skills, from digging up the dirt, to using a claw to stack and move tyres, knocking over towers with a wrecking ball, or using a hook to catch pesky ‘crocs!
