10 reasons why Dig IT is the best weekend and school holiday activity for kids
Kids just LOVE digging in the dirt! Instead of trolling through “What’s On” websites to find something fun for kids this weekend and school holidays, do yourself a favour and book into Dig IT, Australia's first mini excavator park. It’s the BEST school holiday activity around for kids and families, here’s why!
Breathe in that fresh air, Dig It is in the great outdoors
Dig It is OUTSIDE – there’s no internet, video games or TV. It’s a fun, educative and highly engaging adventure for kids and families that’s ‘old school” with a modern twist. Come and dig in the dirt and watch the smiles get wider and wider.
Perfect for kids who love construction equipment
Hello, Bob The Builder! Most kids go through a building phase, it’s how we grow up and learn how things work. This makes Dig It the perfect activity – and we have families coming back weekend after weekend! Book your tickets to Dig IT right now and watch them have the TIME OF THEIR LIFE!
Not a screen in sight
One of the biggest challenges for parents right now is managing screen time for their kids. How much screen time is okay? How do you get them off screens? What fun activities are there for kids that don’t involve a screen? Your answer: Dig IT! Once you have finished the safety induction at the beginning of your session, that is the last screen you will see for two hours – but your kids won’t care! They’ll be too busy digging, smashing, crashing and driving to even notice.
Sessions are capped and everyone gets a fair go
When planning a weekend or day activity for the family, it can be hard to anticipate how busy something will be and if it’ll be worth it. At Dig IT, each two-hour session has a cap on how many people can operate the excavators, so they can guarantee an equal amount of time for every digger! No disappointments, no missing out! Everyone gets a fair go at Dig IT.
A great hands-on activity
If your kid is a fan of getting their hands dirty and giving it their all, then Dig IT is the perfect place to be! Every part of Dig IT is fully interactional and gives them a hands-on experience with 1.7-tonne mini excavators. They will take on different challenges to engage for the full two hours, and when they’re done on the machines, there are two sandpits to play in!
It’s fun AND educational
One of the best secrets about Dig IT is that it’s overall an educational experience for kids, combining fun, engineering, problem-solving and teamwork! For most kids, the simple act of using these machines helps to develop their hand-eye coordination, comprehension, and problem-solving skills in an organic and approachable way. For those with a particular interest in machinery or construction, hands-on experience is invaluable, and the friendly Dig IT staff are there to answer any questions from the curious little diggers!
Great way to get kids interested in trades and engineering
We will always need builders, engineers, construction workers, project managers and teams! Dig It gives kids a taste of these trades and learnings. For most kids, this may just be a fun day out on the weekend, but for others, this could be the start of a future career!
Gets you out of the city, but not too far
Dig IT is at Thunderbird Park, Tamborine Mountain, just one hour’s drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Ideal for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but do not have to travel too far. Enjoy your scenic drive out to where the air is fresh, the surroundings are green, and the dirt is in abundance (and perfect for digging!).
Parents can get involved too
Dig IT is an inclusive part for all ages and welcomes families for a day of fun in the dirt! For younger kids, a parent can join them in the driver’s seat (with their child on their lap). So, if you’re looking for a bonding moment with the kids, or even if you just want to indulge your inner child, Dig IT is where you need to be!
