Diggerland was established in 2014 in West Berlin, New Jersey, and is one of the few construction themed amusement parks in the world. As a New Jersey resident, this certainly adds to my pride, however, it is the ability for children to actually manipulate real life-sized vehicles and the massive opportunities for learning that excites me as a writer for Mommy University.
This is a unique amusement park which offers plenty of rides on construction themed machines but the highlight that most kids (and let’s be honest a lot of adults as well) drool over is the opportunity to ride, drive and play with real life-sized construction vehicles. At Diggerland, guests can do that all day! As a Learning Partner, Mommy University visits Diggerland and offers our readers posts on the educational and developmental benefits of spending the day at this exciting amusement park. We also want to share some of the events and highlights you can enjoy this season!
