About the Event
Antalya Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum
SANDLAND is an impressive open-air museum located on Antalya's world-famous Lara Beach, showcasing hundreds of giant sand sculptures. Held since 2006, this special event is among the largest and most prestigious sand sculpture organizations in the world.
Spread over an area of approximately 7,000 square meters, the artworks are sculpted by international artists using 10,000 tons of river sand. Created using only sand and water, these colossal sculptures offer visitors both an impressive visual feast and an extraordinary art experience.
This Year's Theme: Space Adventure and Time Travel
In 2026, Sandland invites visitors to a unique exploration with the theme "Space Adventure and Time Travel". Humanity's journey into space comes to life in sand through numerous significant figures and concepts, such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Laika, Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, Mars colonies, planets, and futuristic space technologies.
The exhibition also features sculptures inspired by unforgettable science fiction works such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Wall-E, and more. Sandland thus offers an impressive experience appealing to all ages, for both space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
A Delightful Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not merely an exhibition area, but also a fun and educational center of discovery. Thanks to special sections prepared for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors learn while having a wonderful time.
Visitors have the advantage of visiting the museum twice on the same day with their admission ticket. The sculptures viewed under natural daylight transform into a completely different atmosphere in the evening with special LED illumination. This allows you to enjoy two different experiences with a single ticket.
The Sand Sculpture Museum is open to visitors every day between 09:00 and 22:00.
Free Telescope Observation
One of the most remarkable experiences at Sandland is the free astronomical observations. Thanks to the powerful telescopes available at the museum, visitors have the opportunity to observe the craters of the Moon, the rings of Saturn, and Jupiter up close. This experience creates unforgettable memories, especially for children and families.
Astro Cafe, Astro Shop and Astro Photo
After touring the grounds, visitors can relax and unwind from the day at Astro Cafe with hot and cold drinks as well as a variety of snacks.
In the Astro Shop section, space-themed souvenirs, astronaut costumes, helmets, mugs, decorative lights, toys, books, and collectibles await visitors.
With the Astro Photo service, visitors can turn their Sandland experience into a lasting keepsake with special photographs taken by a professional team.
Bringing together art, science, entertainment, and discovery, Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum is a unique must-see experience during your visit to Antalya.
