The Ultimate Playground for Grown Ups and Teens!
Have you ever wanted to feel the power of operating heavy construction equipment? Well now you can! Big Toy Playground now offers you the opportunity of controlling 40,000 lbs of steel! Anyone, age 14 and older, can live out their dream of operating an excavator, loader, backhoe or skid steer. Dig giant holes, move mountains of dirt, maneuver through our obstacle course, stack towers of enormous tires, play backhoe basketball…these are just some of the exciting activities offered at Big Toy Playground.
No previous experience is required. Our friendly and experienced instructors are there to help you have an amazing experience you will never forget.
How long are sessions? Our standard sessions are 90 minutes long, with at least 60 minutes operating the equipment. If you book an Extreme or Maximum Playtime session, you'll still get at least 60 minutes for each piece of equipment and you'll have a short break between operating the different machines. The Maximum Playtime session also includes lunch.
So, what happens during a Big Toy Playground session? First, we start off with an orientation session in our office. We have you complete the "fun" paperwork, learn a little about us, and go over some safety information. You meet your friendly instructor, put on your safety vest and hard hat. The hard hat is optional, but looks great in pictures!
Next, you'll head out to the machine you'll be operating. Once you are seated behind the controls, your instructor will go over all the levers and knobs and additional safety information. When you are comfortable, it's time for the fun to begin!
Each machine has a different set of activities, but you'll start with the basics to get comfortable as an operator. Usually, this involves digging & moving dirt. It's strangely satisfying, and you'll find yourself smiling as you get your first big bucket full. As you move on to other activities, you'll be faced with new challenges to test your skills. And don't worry, your instructor will be watching the whole time and giving you tips and guidance over the radio.
Can my friends/family watch and take pictures? YES! While you are experiencing the thrill ride of a lifetime, family and friends are welcome to watch and take pictures. Seating is provided, and the viewing area is close enough to easily capture snapshots and video of the exciting event. After each session, spectators are invited to come into the Playground for pictures next to the construction equipment. Our instructors are also happy to take a few pictures for you.
Can my child sit on my lap while I operate the equipment? No, we can only allow one person in the cab at a time. It's one of those pesky safety rules...
I'd like to split my time on several pieces of equipment, or share my time with someone else. Each session is for one person and one machine. We do have packages that include several sessions, so you can run multiple pieces of equipment in one day.
I have a group, can we all come out? We have several options for groups. Give us a call and we'll discuss what will work for you.
Are there videos of Big Toy Playground? Yes! You may find the video from Arizona Highways Television especially helpful.
