The Sandbox Children's Museum

The Sandbox Children's Museum A non-profit children’s museum dedicated to the positive development of young children through play.
(320)

The museum offers quality educational and family-oriented play centers and programs for children through age twelve. We believe that children learn about love, trust, and self-worth through interactive play with a parent or caregiver. Families need spaces in which to foster relationships with one another and other families, thereby forming community. Play provides a natural opportunity for these r

elationships to form and strengthen. We provide a stimulating, progressive setting for children and their caregivers to play and learn together. Located at the new Lowcountry Celebration Park on the south end of Hilton Head Island.

$12 per person, children 0-12 months are free, (Seniors/Active Military $10. Memberships available, click here - http://thesandbox.org/membershipMemberships available, click here - http://thesandbox.org/membership
