A one-of-a-kind theme park is coming to Grapevine, and it has some serious star power behind it. Dig World, the Texas-based, construction-themed adventure park that recently captured national attention on Shark Tank, is partnering with Dude Perfect to open a new location at Grapevine Mills in early 2026.
The park will combine Dig World’s signature full-size construction equipment experiences with new, construction-inspired trick-shot attractions curated by Frisco-based Dude Perfect, the family-friendly YouTube sensation.
This marks Dude Perfect’s first official venture into the amusement park space, part of their broader vision to eventually launch their own branded entertainment destination.
From Shark Tank to Grapevine Mills
Dig World co-founder Jacob Robinson of Houston first introduced his concept on Shark Tank, where he shared the personal story behind the park. His son Pierce, who lives with significant special needs following a battle with bacterial meningitis, has long been fascinated by construction equipment.
Robinson turned that inspiration into a business, creating a place where kids and adults alike can operate real bulldozers and excavators in a safe, controlled environment. The emotional pitch struck a chord with investor Robert Herjavec, who backed Dig World with a deal on the show.
Building on a Strong Grapevine Lineup
Set within Grapevine Mills, recently named a Top Ten Mall in America by USA TODAY, the new park will join a growing roster of entertainment destinations, including Meow Wolf, Legoland Discovery Center and The Escape Game.
“Grapevine Mills has become a premier destination for immersive entertainment, from Meow Wolf to LEGOLAND Discovery Center, to adventures at The Escape Game.” Said Joe Szymaszek, general manager at Grapevine Mills, in an official statement. “We’re thrilled to welcome Dig World to the mix as it brings a whole new level of hands-on, family-friendly fun to our center.”
The Grapevine Mills location is just the start. Dig World has big plans for national expansion, fueled by the visibility from Shark Tank and the partnership with Dude Perfect. For the North Texas area, it adds yet another attraction to an already booming family entertainment scene.
