Get ready to feel like a kid again as you board your very own mini excavator and drive it into an adult-sized sandbox!
Your incredible Mini Excavator Experience will begin with a safety overview and an in-depth orientation of your Caterpillar 305.5E excavator. What these excavators may lack in size, they more than make up for it in fun and power! Your professional instructor will show you all of the machine’s levers and buttons, and before you know it, you’ll be climbing into the driver’s seat.
Communicating via a hands-free headset, your instructor will lead you through a series of simple warm-up exercises to make sure that you feel comfortable with your machine. Don’t worry, you’ll soon be digging trenches like a pro!
After learning the basics, it’s time for some real fun. Put your newly learned skills to the test as you participate in exciting games such as excavator basketball. Then, enjoy some well-deserved free time where you can dig, claw, and drive to your heart’s content (under the watchful eye of your instructors, of course).
At the end of the day, celebrate all of your hard work with a fun ‘graduation ceremony’. Boast about your achievements and take home a certificate of completion. Before you leave, don’t forget to snap a photo of yourself with your impressive, 6-ton excavator!

What To Wear
What can I expect during this experience?
You can expect to have a great time operating a Caterpillar 305.5E mini excavator. The goal is to dig, claw, and drive this machine to your heart’s content.
What should I wear? Will I get dirty?
Closed toe shoes are required to participate. Otherwise, wear clothing that is comfortable and weather appropriate. You might get a little dust on your shoes, but unless you want to lie down and roll in the dirt, you’ll leave squeaky clean.
Can my friends and family watch?
Yes! There are two dedicated areas for spectators to watch and take photos.
Can I have someone ride in the cab with me?
No. For safety reasons, all machines are for one person.
Do I need a driver's license?
Nope, no driving experience needed!
What is the accessibility of this experience?
Most disabilities can be accommodated during this experience. However, you must have good vision and have good use of your upper body. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, we ask that you bring along someone who can help the instructors facilitate through sign language. If you require special accommodations, please contact Virgin Experience Gifts prior to booking to ensure your needs can be met.
What if I don't speak or understand English?
All instruction is given in English. However, our experience providers are more than happy to allow an interpreter out into the field to assist with this experience. If you plan on bringing an interpreter, please contact Virgin Experience Gifts prior to booking to ensure your needs can be met.
Why do I have to take a breathalyzer test?
Because safety is our partner's number one priority and concern, all individuals must be able to pass a breathalyzer in order to operate your machine. If you fail this test, you will not be allowed to participate and you will lose the value of your experience.
