There are four different zones where kids can get their hands, or rather, machines, dirty. The Dig Zone sees youngsters get trained on a 1.7-tonne excavator, while the Demolition Zone lets them use a wrecking ball to knock over towers of things. The Croc Zone will see little ones control a 1.7-tonne excavator to try to hook a croc (not real ones, just in case you were wondering), while the RC Zone allows them to use state-of-the-art remote-control machines like dozers, dump trucks, excavators and rear loaders, just like on a work site. Finally, there are the Mini Excavator Challenges, where kids can test their skills and compete against their mates. They’ll get to navigate obstacle courses and complete tasks, while learning about the importance of teamwork and safety.

If you’ve got little ones in your life, then this is your sign to head to Tamborine Mountain for a spot of digging and demolition. Hop on to the Thunderbird Park website to make a booking for the two-hour DIG IT experience.
