Diggerland USA is the only construction-themed amusement and water park in America, offering families the once-in-a-lifetime experience of driving, riding, and operating real construction machinery. Located on 21 acres in West Berlin, NJ, just 20 minutes from Philadelphia. The park features 40+ attractions, most of which are full-size, diesel-powered construction equipment.
Each machine has undergone advanced engineering modifications to ensure a safe and interactive experience, allowing children as small as 36 inches tall to operate equipment with little to no instruction. Guests can dig giant holes with real excavators, drive full-size backhoes, and operate a wide variety of machines including skid steers, dumper trucks, and more.
Beyond heavy machinery, Diggerland offers even more thrills with one of the worldβs tallest ropes courses climbing four stories into the sky, off-road adventures in military trucks, a rock-climbing wall, and a video arcade.
In 2020, Diggerland expanded the fun with the addition of The Water Main, its on-site water park, which was then expanded again in 2022. The Water Main features an expansive wave pool, exciting water slides, challenge courses, dedicated kiddie areas, and more, making it the perfect place to cool off and extend the adventure.
Together, Diggerland USA and The Water Main deliver a truly one-of-a-kind experience where construction, thrills, and water park fun come together for guests of all ages.
