What our ‘Crew Members’ are Saying about Their Experience

We can tell you that People at Play is a great experience, but we’d rather let our “crew members” tell you in their words what they think about their time “playing in the dirt” and operating an excavator, skid steer and/or bulldozer with us. For more testimonials visit our YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/pplatplay where you can find a Testimonial Videos Tab or just click on this new Testimonial video we just posted featuring many of our "crew members."

Also, you can visit www.tripadvisor.com and search for People at Play to read honest first-person reviews of our Florida attraction. People at Play recently received the 2012 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor for having a 5.0 rating. We are currently ranked the #1 Attraction in Bradenton, Florida, on the website.

We love our “peeps” at People at Play!

"Getting those pictures was the next best thing to being there with my boys!  What an awesome experience you guys have created!  My man is still talking about what he did with those machines…thanks to you and your awesome staff for the great assist to him while there, but it sure looks like he adjusted pretty quickly- Haha!!  And, of course, thanks to my awesome son for finding you and getting his dad there!!  If you are ever in Greensboro, Alisa, stop in and see me!"

“WHOOOOO!!!!!  HOOOOOOO!!!!! I am still soooo psyched that I was able to drive those two pieces of equipment.  Thank you! We absolutely love the DVD!  I am able to relive the day and I am going to send out emails to let people know they can sign up for a viewing night!”

“The pictures on Facebook were great. Thanks for the printed picture ... We have it framed and Larry won't let it out of the Living Room in plain sight next to his hard hat.  He is still smiling whenever he talks about his day at People at Play. He said it was something he had always wanted to do, but never thought it would be possible. Thanks for a great day and making Larry very happy.”

“I thought you would get the greatest reward from knowing that John spoke to his brother who lives in PA tonight, and you should have heard how excited he was as he told his brother all about it and how much fun he had! Thank you both so much for giving him such a great time! You may not realize how much it means to everyday people to get to do this. As you know, he will be wearing your shirt to work tomorrow, and I know he will still be just as excited when he tells all his co-workers about it.”

Thanks so much for the opportunity to come “play” yesterday.  I thoroughly enjoyed it!  From the quality of instruction and the fun of it to the enthusiasm you both have.  I’ve already had the chance to share about it with a number of people.”

“Hi Alisa: This outstanding operator wants to thank you for a great day May 7, 2011. Also, I would like to offer my help if you have any other operators that I could show them how to run the 312.  It would be my pleasure to assist you in that way. Thanks again for a great day.”

“I had to tie a rope on Bonnie to keep her from floating away.  I can’t remember the last time I saw her that happy and excited.  She had a blast.”

“Our family wanted to thank you for giving our 90 year old father, the old WW II Navy Sea Bee, the time of his life!  He has called us all a number of times to shower his thanks on us for presenting him with the opportunity to operate your construction equipment.  He hasn't stopped talking about it to anyone who will listen!

We all want to especially thank you both for your professionalism, empathy, and caring for us all, and especially for making our day just as enjoyable as our father’s.  You two are simply wonderful people who made us feel right at home, gave our Dad a thrill he will never forget, and in doing so gave us observers a most memorable day.

I will assure you that we will get him back for another fun filled day that any man would yearn for.  We highly recommend this adventure to anyone with the slightest interest in playing with REAL construction equipment in a safe, challenging, and family-oriented environment.  See you again real soon!!!!!!!!”
