Imagine a whole park that seems like a huge version of your old sand box in the back yard. In Branson sits a whole park called Dig Town centered on the theme of construction. With mini versions of excavators, log movers, cranes and more a kid can get a feel for working with big equipment. There’s even a little kid “tot zone” with even smaller versions of construction equipment and earth movers.

For the kid in your life who is always wanting to wear a hard hat and tool belt. The one who always asks what’s going on at the construction sites you drive by, and wants you to get closer so that they can get a better look at the work going on. Dig Town in Branson would be a unique wonderland of adventure for them while giving them a better idea and junior hands on version of what they see being done at sites closer to home.
