New Jersey may be a small state, but we pack a ton of fun into our 8,722 square miles. From gorgeous hiking trails to beautiful beaches, big cities to charming small towns, we really have it all. That includes one of the most unique theme parks in America.
What might first appear to be a construction site, Diggerland USA is the only construction-themed amusement park in North America.

The park features over two dozen attractions, many of which utilize actual machinery.

Equipment has been modified so that guests as small as 36" can safely drive full size backhoes and dig giant holes with real excavators.
