DIG IT

DIG IT is every construction-loving kid's dream come true! This massive 8,000-square-foot indoor playground lets children operate real mini excavators, dig in sand pits, and immerse themselves in hands-on construction play. With its unique interactive equipment and themed activities, it's the perfect rainy-day destination or weekend adventure that combines physical play with imaginative construction site fun.

• ✓Real working mini excavators that kids can operate themselves to dig and move sand
• ✓Multiple construction zones with dump trucks, wheelbarrows, and building materials
• ✓Giant sand pit for sensory play and excavation activities
• ✓Construction-themed dress-up area with hard hats and safety vests
• ✓Interactive building stations where kids can construct and create

1. 1.Arrive right when they open at 10:00 AM on weekdays to avoid birthday party crowds and have the excavators mostly to yourselves
2. 2.Dress kids in clothes that can get dusty,while the sand is clean, construction play can be messy, and closed-toe shoes are a must
3. 3.Book your session online in advance, especially for weekends, as time slots can fill up quickly during peak hours
4. 4.Bring socks for adults and kids as they're required on the play floor,they sell them there but it's cheaper to bring your own
5. 5.Plan to stay for the full session (usually 90 minutes) as kids rarely want to leave early once they start operating the excavators

Weekday mornings (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) are ideal for a less crowded experience, especially Tuesday through Thursday. Avoid Saturday afternoons when birthday parties are most common. Friday and Saturday evenings (extended hours until 9:00 PM) can be surprisingly calm as many families opt for earlier time slots.

Sessions are typically timed and require advance booking with entry fees around $15-20 per child. The venue is located inside the Del Amo Fashion Center mall, offering convenient parking and easy access to food courts and restrooms.

As an indoor venue, DIG IT is perfect year-round and especially valuable during hot Los Angeles summers or rainy winter days. Check their website for special holiday-themed construction events and extended hours during school breaks.

Located in Del Amo Fashion Center, you'll find numerous options including Yard House for family-friendly American fare with a kids menu, or the mall's food court featuring quick options like Chick-fil-A and Panda Express that are perfect for hungry little construction workers.
