Dozer Day® is like going to a fair only our rides are real heavy construction equipment. Kids hop in the driver’s seat and actually drive dozers, excavators, and other heavy equipment with a professional operator at their side. Not only is it a dream-come-true for kids (and fun for the whole family), the event also benefits many children’s charities.

Dozer Day® is an immersive experience in the construction industry, that actually puts kids on and operating dump trucks, dozers, excavators and more of the largest machines the industry has to offer. Dozer Day® is also the perfect opportunity to connect with potential employers and learn about careers in the industry. There is something for everyone with: food, giveaways, pipe and tire crawls, SWAT vehicle, fire trucks, an ambulance and many other awesome activities.

Dozer Day is geared toward children ages 2-12 but our volunteers will use discretion to accommodate other ages as long as children fit comfortably and SAFELY in the cab of our certified, pre-screened operators.
