Constellation Field has playgrounds, ice cream, a splash pad...oh, and baseball.

One of my go-to activities is to head to a construction site with my young children, who will sit and watch excavators and bulldozers move around dirt for hours. So when we learned that a construction-themed adventure park was opening near Houston, we drove from Pearland to Katy to check it out for ourselves. And Dig World delivered: Finally, my amateur construction workers could operate the equipment instead of just watching! We spent hours driving skid steers, digging dirt with excavators, and exploring the park's other features.

If you have little construction fanatics, then grab your hardhats and head to Dig World TX for an afternoon of fun. But first, read on to learn what to expect from your visit and how to maximize your visit. And don't forget to check out our Houston Water Parks and Theme Parks Guide for more theme park adventures.
