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 sculptures created using 10,000 tons of river sand are shaped by international artists. Crafted using only sand and water, these colossal sculptures offer visitors both a breathtaking visual feast and an extraordinary artistic experience.
This Year's Theme: Space Adventure and Time Travel
In 2026, Sandland invites visitors to a unique exploration under the theme "Space Adventure and Time Travel". Humanity's journey into space comes to life again in sand through many significant figures and concepts, including Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Laika, Yuri Gagarin, Neil Armstrong, Mars colonies, planets, and future space technologies.
The exhibition also features works inspired by memorable sci-fi classics like Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Wall-E, and more. Sandland thus offers an impressive experience catering to all ages, appealing to both space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
An Enjoyable Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not merely an exhibition ground, but also a fun and educational discovery center. Thanks to sections designed specially for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors both learn and spend a pleasant time.
Visitors enjoy the perk of being able to visit the museum twice on the same day with their admission ticket. The sculptures viewed under natural daylight take on a completely different atmosphere in the evening with dedicated LED lighting. This way, two distinct experiences can be enjoyed with a single ticket.
The Sand Sculpture Museum is open to visitors every day from 09:00 to 22:00.
Free Telescope Observation
One of the most remarkable experiences at Sandland is the free astronomical observations. Powerful telescopes available within the museum offer visitors the chance to closely observe the Moon's craters, Saturn's rings, and Jupiter. This experience creates unforgettable memories, especially for children and families.
Astro Cafe, Astro Shop, and Astro Photo
After their tour, visitors can relax and unwind at Astro Cafe with a variety of snacks, alongside hot and cold drinks.
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 photos taken by a professional team.
Bringing art, science, entertainment, and discovery together, Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum is one of the unique, must-see experiences during your visit to Antalya.
