Open play time is limited to children ages 0-10. We'd like to ask older children to be mindful of younger children in their vicinity while playing.

Our current play capacity is 30 children. Adults can join their children for play, but they are not included in our capacity number. Our staff will monitor capacity and track a waitlist as necessary.

We don't currently have a time limit for play unless we are closing or setting up for a private event. Most children spend an average of about an hour (60 minutes) playing in the garden.

For birthday parties, a 2-hour time limit applies. For more details, visit our parties page.

We are open seven days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We are closed on major holidays, which we will promote on our website. These hours are subject to change as we continue to expand our offerings.

Our admission fee for children to the garden is $20. Two adults may join for free, and children below 1 year old may also participate for free.

All participating children must have a completed waiver before playing in the sand.

No socks or shoes are allowed in the garden. If you need accommodations for a particular situation, please get in touch with us before your visit to explore options.

Although the sand is easy to wipe off, expect to get a bit sandy and dusty (depending on your type of play). Comfortable clothing that you are willing to get a bit dirty is recommended.

We have many toys, from sand tools to construction trucks, sit on diggers, market stand, slide, and much more! Your imagination won't be limited by the available toys. However, we ask that no outside toys be brought into the garden to avoid being lost, dirty, or broken.
