| Playing on heavy machinery is one of childhood's many taboos, along with sleeping in discarded refrigerators. Bend the rules for your inner child with today's Groupon: for $149, you get a Big Dig at Dig This Heavy Equipment Playground (a $400 value). Dig This Heavy Equipment Playground is one of America's only heavy-equipment playgrounds, allowing average citizens to pilot enormous Caterpillar construction equipment. Situate yourself behind the controls of a 315 Excavator or a D5G Bull Dozer for a Big Dig —three hours of annihilation in a sandbox for grownups. The dig begins with a 15-minute instruction on cab controls and communication techniques, after which machinists can stretch their motorized muscles by moving boulders, stacking tires, digging holes, and performing heavy-equipment jam band sessions. Cabs are air conditioned, allowing for comfortable construction experiences any time of the year. Invite along family, friends, or a surly renovation contractor to gawk and take pictures from the nearby viewing room. Participants must be 18 or older and must wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. While Dig This offers its own discounts on Big Dig experiences, today's Groupon has the better value.
