Spookalicious Celebration Returns!
Get ready for one of The Sandbox’s most popular events of the year! Join us on Friday, October 30 for a Disney-inspired Spookalicious Celebration filled with Halloween fun for the whole family.
Our Sandbox staff will be dressed in their Disney best, and we invite you to come dressed as your favorite Disney character—or any Halloween costume you love! Enjoy festive activities, themed crafts, and plenty of magical surprises as we transform the museum into a not-so-spooky celebration of imagination and play.
It’s a Halloween party you won’t want to mis!
Our Programs
Story Makers
Story Makers brings stories to life! Each week, our staff leads children through a new and exciting book, followed by a creative activity inspired by the story. Kids might make a craft, act out characters, or use their imaginations in a fun theatrical activity. There’s always a new book, a new adventure, and a new way to create!!
Thursdays 11AM Program Included with Admission
Discover. Imagine. Grow. (D.I.G.)
