How it works - two kinds of play

Free Play and treasure hunt

No bookings required, 15 minute walk-ins, or 30 minute priority bookings available. Just walk in and HAVE A DIG!

You can operate our realistic mini construction machines, move sand, build roads, dig trenches and let your imagination take over. Open-ended play that encourages creativity, problem-solving and confidence.

During Free Play, you can search for artifacts, treasure and polished stones, or practice driving the different vehicles, switching between available vehicles.

We change the space regularly, including trying out different games props and campaigns.

Games and Facilitated Challenges

Bookings essential. Best suited for 6 or more simultaneous drivers for 1 or more hours.

Our Facilitated Construction Games introduce guided challenges and mini “building campaigns” where participants work together to complete creative missions.

Some of our facilitated games include construction themed:

  • Races and competitions with solo and team objectives

  • Obstacle courses and mazes

  • Projects, like bridge building, excavations and rescue operations.

  • Team Sports, like dozer football and excavator basketball

Ideal for special celebrations, corporate events and team building exercises.

wHAT IS HAVE A DIG?

Welcome to our world of creativity and imagination, where every action carries possibilities and affects the sandbox.

Have A Dig is a hands-on RC Construction zone where you operate realistic scale construction vehicles in a clean and contained play environment. No screens, no chaos. Just play that builds focus, coordination and confidence.

We're passionate about inspiring (big and little) builders and earth movers to construct their big dreams, in little spaces, one bucket at a time.

We have big plans for these little spaces and are working toward hosting multiple types of RC play, including racing, drifting, rock crawling and boating!

Support us in the exploration of big dreams in little spaces.
