For safety reasons, children are not allowed in the equipment while it is running. However, we absolutely encourage children to come as they will have an awesome time watching the real life construction scene. We have a great observation area surrounding the sandbox for kids to see the activities. In addition, children can sit in the equipment when it is parked and not running.

All of our equipment is single rider only. If people want to experience this together we can run two individuals separately at the same time to experience the sandbox together. An example could be one individual would be running the excavator while the other person is running the bulldozer and the instructors could coordinate some activities together.
