Kids play with toy bulldozers and excavators in a sandbox. At Dig This, in Steamboat, Colorado, adults get to spend a half- or a full-day using real bulldozers and excavators building roads, digging ditches and moving rocks, in the first heavy equipment arena in the United States.

I must admit that I felt powerful driving a CAT312 Track Excavator and moving one-ton rocks. Playing in this gigantic sandbox we were creating our own carnival rides.
