Diggerland is everything I expected and more!

Diggerland USA is the epitome of a kid-friendly theme park! The staff is super nice and helpful, and the park is clean and easy to navigate.The heavy equipment has been revamped with governors, so little ones can drive the machines safely. 

Children 48 inches tall or taller can ride and/or drive most of the adventures independently; children at least 36 inches tall can ride with an adult. The 2-year-old is too young for all but two of the rides; but there was no admission charge for her. The 7-year old could operate most of the rides alone, and he was thrilled. The other three (ages 3, 4, 6) rode with my son when necessary, and everyone had a grand time. 

We visited Diggerland during the week and it was not crowded; the children didn’t wait in lines at all. A few rides may have had two or three people in front of them. The staff said weekends are very busy. 

Fortunately, the humidity was low, which made the high heat bearable. Misting fans are placed throughout the park, and they were a welcome relief!

Diggerland has three food establishments (food and drinks are pricey), but none of them have eat-in facilities—plenty of picnic tables and an air conditioned pavilion, but we left the park for a lunch run to an air conditioned restaurant.

We returned and visited another section of Diggerland. The boys loved driving the go-karts and the tractors. 

I noted the percentage of boys to girls at the park. Boys outnumbered the girls, but not by much. 

The park is huge; it covers 14 acres. We didn’t have time to explore all the rides even though we spent the entire day, from 10-6, at the park. The kids did not want to leave they were having so much fun.

We returned the next day for a few hours, but still there are rides that will be new to the boys when they return.

I had bought the boys season passes for Christmas because Diggerland does an amazing job of planning special events throughout the year. Because the theme park is a bit of a hike for us, I knew I would visit at least the two days, so the membership has paid for itself. I am pretty sure my sons will take their sons back at least once or twice this season.

Diggerland USA gets a definite thumbs up from the Berry family!
