Dig This, 800 West Roban Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89044
If you've ever wanted to climb into a real excavator and start moving dirt, this Las Vegas experience delivers exactly that fantasy. Instructors like JoBeth, Michael, Curtis, and Chris consistently earn praise for being patient, fun, and genuinely great at teaching complete beginners how to operate heavy machinery. The step-by-step radio instruction and hands-on approach seem to work well for all ages, from 4-year-olds to adults checking off a serious bucket list item. Beyond just digging, guests can stack tires, play excavator basketball, and work toward certification, so there's more variety here than you might expect. The photo package gets a specific callout from multiple reviewers as worth adding on. With a near-perfect rating across a very large number of reviews, this is clearly a well-run operation that delivers consistently. It works equally well as a birthday gift, team outing, or just a wildly fun afternoon with someone you want to surprise.
Let me tell u guys this my son loved this place. He is only 3 yrs old and it was everything I could have hoped for . Im in the union as a ironworker and im currently working on the A's stadium. Im from California and when I heard about this I knew I had to bring my family. Not only was this place family friendly. Everyone was very patient with my son. I really hoped I sparked something in my son that he is able to see himself one day operating one of this bad boys. Thank u again
