Finally
We used to get completely absorbed in playing with sand as kids, but as adults, we rarely get the chance anymore. This event is free, open to everyone from babies to adults, and even features a sand play expert—so it sounds like a great outing for the whole family. Participation is limited to the first 150 people, so register early if you’re interested!
