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.

Big news: the Cat and the Hat finally found Chicago! The Dr. Seuss Experience opens at Water Tower Place on October 8th, but tickets are available for purchase now.

One of our Houston writers was able to visit the exhibit in her city, and we're sharing her experience here ahead of the Chicago opening, as well as some tailored tips for attending the event in Chicago. Read on for all the installation details and tips for attending. But should you go yourself? Well..."If you never did you should. These things are fun. And fun is good."
