Get ready for an earth-shaking weekend! Dig IT will celebrate its second birthday from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 May 2025 at Thunderbird Park, Tamborine Mountain. Families can enjoy birthday cupcakes, face painting, fun competitions, and a special Mother's Day card colouring station. Plus, meet the Dig IT ambassadors and win prizes by snapping a selfie at the Selfie Wall!
Why it matters?
Dig IT offers a hands-on, outdoor play experience unmatched anywhere else. Co-founder Kate Keegan explained, “There’s nothing like watching kids put on their hard hats and high vis, climb into the cab, and take control of their own digger. It’s fun, educational, screen-free and totally unique. The mile-wide smiles on kids and grown-ups are proof that digging in the dirt never gets old.”
Local Impact:
Only an hour from the Gold Coast, Dig IT has become a go-to adventure spot for families craving outdoor excitement. Its second birthday bash highlights the region’s growing portfolio of fresh, family-focused attractions, giving Gold Coast locals even more reasons to plan day trips to Tamborine Mountain.
By the Numbers:
Since 2023, Dig IT has welcomed over 200,000 visitors to its mini-excavator park.
Its nine Queensland-made CAT machines have powered through more than 3 million minutes of digging action.
The iconic Demolition Zone alone has seen nearly one million blocks smashed by young diggers.
Zoom In:
Dig IT brings out every child’s inner tradie. With real excavators, kids can dig, stack, catch crocs, and crash towers—all while donning authentic hard hats and high-vis vests. As Kate Keegan shared, “We’re still blown away by the reaction – it’s smiles for miles out here every weekend.” Dig IT continues to offer a joyful, educational, screen-free experience for families.
Zoom Out:
The Scenic Rim has solidified its position as one of Southeast Queensland’s ultimate family playgrounds. With attractions like Dig IT, the region caters to active families looking for screen-free, memorable adventures close to home.
What to Look for Next?
Dig IT’s 2nd birthday celebrations are locked in from 9–11 May 2025. Be part of the action, snap selfies to win prizes, and make memories in the dirt! Accommodation at Thunderbird Park is also available for those wanting a full weekend of fun.
