Diggerland USA is one of a kind — literally. It’s the only construction-themed amusement park in the United States, set on 21 acres in West Berlin, Camden County, NJ. Forget roller coasters and carnival rides. Here, kids and adults actually get behind the wheel of real JCB construction machinery — diggers, dump trucks, backhoes, and more — engineered to be safe but genuinely powerful enough to feel like the real thing.
With 40+ rides and attractions, a 130-foot zipline, rock wall, full arcade, multiple dining spots, and The Water Main water park (included in summer admission), Diggerland packs more variety into one day than almost any other attraction in the region. It’s open from mid-March through December, making it perfect for the entire World Cup window, and it runs special seasonal festivals — Diggerfest in fall and Winterfest at the holidays.
For international visitors, this is a genuinely unusual experience they won’t find at home. The concept of children actually operating heavy machinery — legally, safely, and with huge smiles — is something that stops people in their tracks. It’s become a word-of-mouth destination and one of South Jersey’s most talked-about family attractions.
