Day of the Dozer returns to Bloomington again for some good, dirty fun for the kids.
On Saturday, September 7th kids will get the experience of a lifetime… a chance to see and drive heavy construction and farming equipment!
The event runs from 10am to 4pm at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington.
Over the years, more than 12,000 kids have attended this one-of-a-kind event! On this day, the kids will be in the driver’s seat and actually drive dozers, excavators, and other heavy equipment with a professional operator at their side.
Additional farming, construction and Emergency vehicles will be on exhibit, plus the world’s largest sandbox and other kid friendly activities. Food, refreshments, and souvenirs will be available.
Tickets for kids are available for purchase now for $10 each. (No ticket required for adults.) One ticket gives admission to drive all machines, for the entirety of the event. No limit on individual machine rides. Admission also includes a souvenir ‘Hard Hat’.
