Dig World, a construction-themed amusement park, is underway in Houston and is set to open sometime in the coming months according to Click 2 Houston. Once open, the 3.5-acre park will offer attendees the opportunity to operate various machines including excavators and skid steers.
“We want to create memorable experiences for families that last a lifetime as well as educate the next generation about construction and all the possibilities that surround that industry,” said Jacob Robinson, one of the park's founders, in a statement.
In addition to heavy machinery, Dig World will also have a a mining station, UTVs, and various other attractions. The park also partnered with the Texas A&M University Department of Construction Science, which will provide educational materials for the park.
