The Sandbox is proud to be premiere destination for early childhood, hands-on play and learning in the Hilton Head and Bluffton area. Our flagship museum was founded in 2005 and our Tanger 2 satellite location in 2019. Our primary goal has been educating young children through age-appropriate, interactive activities and exhibits that enable children to play freely while exploring their creativity and discovering the world around them.

Located in the Tanger 2 shopping center between Bluffton Parkway and Hwy 278, The Sandbox at Tanger 2 is packed with 3500 square-feet of stimulating activities that are just right for busy toddlers, school-aged children through age 12 years and their families or caregivers.

 

In addition to our 11 hands-on exhibits we also offer:

  • Museum Programs - S.T.E.M. Fun for Everyone, Brainy Babies, Open Art and Makerspace Days are a few ways that we provide a structured environment that encourages learning through play.
  • Facility Rentals – Check out our Birthday party packages! Available during and after-hours for up to 16 children.
  • Events – Annual events allow members and visitors to explore the museum while enjoying themed activities and crafts.
  • Membership – We are pleased to offer Family and Grandparent Membership options that are ideal for those visiting the museum four or more times a year. In addition to admission, you’ll receive a number of membership benefits—including discounts and free admission for your guest!
  • Outreach – We strive to extend our mission and vision beyond the walls of the museum by partnering with other community organizations throughout Hilton Head Island and Bluffton. Please join our email list for the timely communication regarding these types events and to receive our quarterly newsletter “Beyond the Box” that focuses on ways to foster learning through play at home and in your own community.

Implementing a Waitlist

The safety of our guest is our utmost concern and occasionally, during inclement weather, it is necessary to limit the number of visitors within the museum due to fire code capacity limits. Often times this only occurs during our busiest summer months, holidays or special events. Learn more ››
