Extreme Sandbox - Minnesota

This is the best team building event I have ever done. My entire team loved it, Men and Women both. Pictures came out perfect, Nicole and Wyatt were so amazing. Our only regret was not booking more time up front!! Thank you so much to @Adam @Randy #Wyatt and @Nicole for a flawless event. We will be back to do this again!

This place is so much fun! We had a team outing at this place and everyone had a blast. Instructors were knowledgeable about the equipment’s, they followed all necessary steps to make sure everyone had fun with zero safety incidents. Grand finale with a car crush made the event even more spectacular!!!

This place is SO FUN! They are also safe and well organized. My husband had the best experience! Highly recommend! Training was great, plus you wear a headset with the instructor through the whole experience. Gift certificates available for a very unique gift!

AMAZING! What are you waiting for? We booked direct through their website which was clear on how much time is spent on instruction and how much is the actual activity. The facility is nice and safety is the top priority. This was for a date, and I would absolutely recommend it. My date and I signed up for the obstacle course and made it a competition. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All of the staff were friendly, and our instructor was simply fabulous. I'll be coming back soon so my daughters can experience the fun as well. Worth every penny!

This was an anniversary present from my husband. What an amazing surprise! We had an absolute blast. As you would expect, you have to fill out some waivers in advance and watch a safety video. But all that washes away when you climb into these beasts. Your family and friends are given tables to sit at and observe from a safe distance and have a speaker so they can hear all the banter. The instructor is with you (via headset) the whole time, so you won't get overwhelmed. Playing in the dirt never felt so good!

This is truly an amazing experience! Whether you’re wanting to just try something new or live out a childhood fascination with heavy machinery, this place is fantastic! They take good care of you, you have some fun learning about the machinery, and you get to drive some heavy duty equipment. What really makes the experience are the instructors. They’re funny, engaging, and really invested in you having a great time. Come here and have a blast!

This was such a fun experience! Absolutely would do it again. Wyatt was such an amazing instructor! Thanks for a fun filled morning!!

This is the perfect place to let that inner boy or girl out who always wanted to drive heavy equipment. I drove a Bulldozer and had a blast. Wyatt was a great teacher guiding me through each step of the way.

Nicole and Wyatt were great to walk us through. I'm better at it than my husband!!!

Nicole was our guide and was wonderful! Everyone working there had great energy as well. My daughter and husband ran the excavators and agreed that it was a bucket list item. Highly recommend this for a gift or as a fun outing!

What a great time. The family bought a Classic Sandbox package for our 89-year old grandfather and he absolutely loved it. A career salesman, he's never had the pleasure of operating any heavy equipment but with a brief training and some expert guidance from the instructor, they made it an experience that he "...will remember for the rest of my life."

Speaking of; I can't say enough good things about the instructor Nicole - she provided direction as if she had worked with that equipment for 20 years: clear, concise, kind, and confident.

The facilities were well kept, provided entertainment for the entire family, and I personally loved that they broadcast the conversation between instructor and operator over the speakers so that everyone could feel like part of the experience

Thank you Extreme Sandbox for knocking an item off of our grandfathers bucket list. It will be a day we all remember.

A gift from my wife and daughter and I could not have imagined a better experience! From the initial greeting, to everything in between to the finish. Great team working there and driving the rig was amazing! HIGHLY recommend and especially recommend crushing a car - wow!!!

Lots of fun, and exceeded my expectations. Nicole and Adam were our instructors and both gave clear personable instructions. If you are on the fence about this experience, just hop on over. You won't regret it.

This place is amazing! They keep an upbeat atmosphere and make sure you have fun. They use headsets to talk to you during the session. We selected the bulldozer adventure with Adam. He showed us what to do and kept us laughing the whole time. Well worth the money.

Fantastic time!!! We recently went to the Extreme Sandbox in Hastings for an afternoon of fun using a gift my wife had purchased for me. Although I had heard about this place I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. First thing you notice when arriving is all the equipment and the unique obstacles placed throughout…at this point you start to realize you’ll soon be in that equipment having a great time. We checked in for our classic sandbox package (1 ½ hours) and were directed to a conference room where we would be getting our instructions, watching a short video on the piece of equipment selected (I selected the excavator), and getting geared up. Once ready, Adam and I walked out to the “job site” and went through what was going to happen. They also have a couple of viewing areas that family and/or friends can watch from. Adam did a great job explaining what to expect and how to control the equipment. He was always communicating via headset what he wanted me to do and gently reminded me if I couldn’t remember what to move. After some instruction it was time to start digging. I got to dig a deep hole (simple but fun…just like a kid at the playground) and then hit a ball off the pile using the excavator bucket like a golf driver, knock tennis balls off cones, play a little excavator basketball and lift and move a car. Oh yeah, if you just want to spin in circles you can do that too! The hour in the excavator went a lot quicker than expected but it was an awesome time. Adam was a great instructor who kept me focused and made sure I was having fun at the same time. When it was over we were able to take some photos next to the equipment to remember the experience (this gives you a great perspective on how big the equipment is). Would highly recommend this to anyone who has always wanted to operate heavy machinery and even to those who aren’t sure…you’ll have a blast!

Excellent team building event. The trainers were excellent - it is obvious that they enjoy their jobs and are committed to making sure that all participants have a great experience.

Had an incredible time in the Hastings, MN “Extreme Sandbox” today operating a 26 Ton Excavator in the "dueling adventure" my wife! Driving, digging, lifting and moving a jeep, playing excavator golf and competing in an obstacle course! Highly recommend it! Always dreamed of doing something like this! What an amazing gift! A special thanks to our great instructor Nicole, thanks for the wonderful photos! The photo package was super worth it!

We did this for our small company retreat and it was amazing! The trainers are super friendly and gave us lots of confidence with the equipment. It was so much fun to play and tear up the ground in these. Highly recommend.

The company is great, friendly and accommodating. My 11yr old had a blast. Wants to come back when he is old enough for the big rigs.

A lot of fun. Great instructors, great equipment. Staff are very knowledgeable and try hard to make sure that you have the best time possible.

My wife gave me one of the sampler packages for Christmas right before COVID hit,but they honor any gift certificate you buy directly from them no matter when it was purchased, so we found a time that worked for us and turned it into a mini vacation and had a blast. Adam was great, and I had a lot of fun trying it all of the equipment.
