Kids drive real construction equipment at this theme park coming to North Texas
A new theme park where kids can operate real-life construction equipment is coming to a North Texas mall.
Dig World, a larger-than-life construction-themed adventure park, is set to open outside the Grapevine Mills mall in early 2026, according to a news release from the theme park. An opening date hasn't been set yet.
The theme park was featured on the hit series 'Shark Tank' in March 2025, where co-founder Jacob Robinson, a Houston resident, pitched his vision to the sharks.
Robinson's son Pierce, who lives with significant special needs after suffering from bacterial meningitis, is mesmerized by construction equipment, according to a news release from the theme park. His love for bulldozers and excavators gave Robinson the idea to create a family-friendly theme park where adults and kids of all ages could operate full-size construction equipment.

This heart-felt story led 'Shark Tank' investor Robert Herjavec to invest in the company. Following its debut on 'Shark Tank,' Dig World opened it first park in Katy, Texas, about 30 miles outside Houston.
