You Can Take A Ride In A Monster Truck At This One Of A Kind Attraction In North Carolina

Unless you live near, or have had an occasion to travel on the following .25-mile stretch of the Caratoke Highway leading to Kitty Hawk, you may never have passed by the series of monster-truck establishments anchored by Digger’s Dungeon, a veritable warehouse dedicated to one of Monster trucking’s biggest legends. While a visit to the Dungeon is exciting, only a few hundred yards down the highway from there, you can take a ride in a monster truck for only $5/person.

At the far end of the row, there's an attraction where you can climb aboard one of these giant trucks for a ride of your very own.

Seated comfortably in the back end of the monster truck, you just may feel like you're participating in an off-road challenge of your very own. If you're traveling with others, don't worry, there is plenty of room aboard for everyone.

The ride lasts 5-7 minutes and takes you around sharp turns, over hills, and even over the top of an entire school bus! Yep, it's like being at a Jam.

For those who are seeking a little different experience, OBX Monster Truck Rides recently added a Backwoods Adventure to their menu of monster truck rides, and although it costs a little more per ride, it's totally worth it! Prepare for a whole new experience as you travel through the nearby road cut through the shady woods, all the while climbing over obstructions and conquering the terrain.

After the thrill ride, most people then head back up the highway to visit Digger's Dungeon to see the massive Monster trucks on hand in the garage. The selection is always changing, and that is reason enough to stop again and again.

Next door, you'll find the gift shop filled with all sorts of Monster Jam merchandise as well as Digger-endorsements like t-shirts that you can purchase to bring home and advertise your support for the legendary Digger crew.

With all of the riding and shopping, you may work up a hearty appetite, so be sure to check out Digger's Diner.
