If you're planning a family vacation to Hilton Head Island, be sure to add The Sandbox to your itinerary. This interactive children’s museum is a true gem, offering a carefully curated space where kids can unleash their imagination, explore their curiosities, and engage in hands-on learning experiences. 

The team at Beach Properties of Hilton Head highly recommends that guests at our vacation rentals on Hilton Head Island check out The Sandbox. Here’s what you can expect when you visit this family favorite. 

About The Sandbox

As soon as you step inside The Sandbox, you'll be transported into a whimsical world designed specifically for children up to the age of twelve. From the youngest visitors who can crawl, slide, and play on all fours in a dedicated space to the older explorers who can embark on adventures aboard a shrimp boat or create masterpieces in the art studio, every child is sure to find something that ignites their passion and piques their interest.

One of the highlights of The Sandbox is its meticulously designed exhibits that seamlessly blend play and learning. Whether your little ones are budding scientists, artists, or inventors, they'll have the opportunity to engage with hands-on displays that encourage mathematical thinking, language development, cognitive growth, and emotional and social skills. The best part is that the exhibits are so engaging that all of this growth just feels like play.

With over 15 exhibits, there is tons to explore. Your kiddos could easily spend the whole day enjoying the hands-on activities, making crafts, playing dress up, and letting their imaginations run wild.

In addition to the exciting exhibits, you can enhance your visit by participating in the museum's staff-guided programming and special events. The Sandbox offers themed activities, crafts, and interactive sessions that cater to various ages and interests. Before your visit, check out the event calendar to see what is in store.

The Sandbox is open daily, so no matter if you’re visiting Hilton Head Island during the weekend or a weekday, you’ll have an opportunity to visit. While The Sandbox does accept walk-ins, reservations are highly encouraged. You can reserve your play time online.
