Earth Moving Travel: Heavy Equipment Play Area

August 28, 2008 at 11:00 AM | 1 Comment

Forget boring activities like rock climbing or white water rafting. For something radically different, head to Dig This in Steamboat Springs, Colorado and push around boulders and mounds of dirt with heavy machinery.

For excitement or stress relief, you can get in the cab of a big yellow industrial vehicle and test your skill at earth moving. The Dig This heavy machinery theme park is located on a 10-acre job site where you can operate a Caterpillar D5G dozer, two 315 excavators and a 6-ton skid-steer.

Playing with these big kid toys will cost you $400 a person for a half day and $750 for a full. Look for the next Dig This franchise to open in Las Vegas in the near future.
