WEST BERLIN TWP. — Are you ready to operate heavy machinery? Well, you won’t have to wait much longer as Diggerland USA is set to open on Saturday, June 14.

North America’s first-ever construction-themed adventure park covers 14 acres of centrally located land in Camden County and offers visitors the opportunity to become a construction worker for a day in a safe, family-friendly environment.

Once the Diggerland USA gates open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 14, visitors will have access to three on-site attractions, most of which are comprised of modified JCB heavy construction equipment. The rides have been engineered to allow parents and children to safely dig, drive and ride familiar, real-sized construction equipment.

The decision to build the park was made by the owners and senior management of the neighboring indoor and outdoor water park, Sahara Sam’s Oasis, who leveraged the blueprint set forth by the four Diggerland parks in the United Kingdom.

“The opportunity to take the concept of a construction theme park and make it our own was very exciting for us,” said Ilya Girlya, CEO of Sahara Sam’s and Diggerland USA, in a press release.

The Girlya family owns and operates SAMBE General Contracting which is overseeing the construction of Diggerland USA.

Plans for Diggerland USA were officially unveiled just a few months ago in January and since, the park has seen significant progress, particularly this month.

Diggerland has four locations in the U.K.
