Sandmagination is a unique indoor play space designed for children 10 and under to explore, create, and engage in imaginative play within a large, safe, and sanitized sandbox environment. Our facility offers a variety of interactive sand-based activities that encourage creativity and social interaction, making it a perfect destination for families looking for a fun and educational experience. We also host birthday parties and offer membership options for frequent visitors.

Our facility is fully ADA-compliant, but it really depends on the child and their needs. For those with children on the spectrum or who are overwhelmed by noises, lights, and sound, we are planning to offer sensory-sensitive open play times in our main boxes. During normal hours, we plan to have a special sandbox that is isolated, and we can bring down the lights and sound. This sandbox will be available on a reservation basis.

We are still working on times that will work best for parents.

At the moment, our plans are to be open from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM – 7 Days a week. Please understand that the first few months will be a little more fluid, and if we feel that we need to be open later, we may do that. We want to figure out what works best for parents.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) education focuses on encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving through hands-on activities. Sandmagination can apply to STEAM by providing children with opportunities to engage in creative and engineering-like tasks as they build structures, explore cause and effect, and use tools in the sand. The play environment promotes understanding of basic physics principles (like gravity and balance) and encourages exploration, which are foundational aspects of STEAM learning, especially in early childhood development.

Safety and cleanliness are our top priorities. We use only silica-free sand, which is free of contaminants and allergens. There’s more information on our sand here. Our rigorous daily cleaning practices include:

• Sifting and cleaning the sand to ensure it remains free of debris and foreign objects.
• Disinfecting all surfaces—toys, bins, and play equipment—multiple times a day with a non-toxic, eco-friendly solution.
• Regular deep cleaning of all play areas, thoroughly sanitizing the entire facility from sandboxes to air filtration systems.
• Commercial-grade air filtration systems designed to reduce dust particles and maintain air quality.

These protocols ensure a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for children and families.
