About the Event
Antalya Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum
SANDLAND is an impressive open-air museum located on Antalya’s world-famous Lara Beach, displaying hundreds of gigantic sand sculptures. Organized since 2006, this special event ranks among the world's largest and most prestigious sand sculpture organizations.
Spread across an area of approximately 7,000 square meters, the artworks crafted using 10,000 tons of river sand are sculpted by international artists. Created solely with sand and water, these colossal sculptures offer visitors both a breathtaking visual feast and an extraordinary art experience.
This Year's Theme: Space Adventure and Time Travel
In 2026, Sandland invites visitors to a unique journey of exploration with the theme "Space Adventure and Time Travel". Humanity's journey into space comes to life through sand with many prominent figures and concepts such as 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 productions such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, Wall-E, and more. Sandland thus offers an impressive experience appealing to all ages, for space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
A Delightful Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not just an exhibition area, but also a fun and educational discovery center. Thanks to special sections prepared for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors both learn and have a pleasant time.
Visitors have the privilege of visiting the museum twice on the same day with their admission ticket. The sculptures viewed under natural daylight take on an entirely different atmosphere in the evening with special LED illuminations. Thus, two distinct experiences can be enjoyed with a single ticket.
The Sand Sculpture Museum is open for visits every day from 09:00 to 22:00.
Free Telescope Observation
One of the most remarkable experiences at Sandland is the free astronomical observations. Thanks to the powerful telescopes within 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 their tour, visitors can relax and unwind at Astro Cafe with hot and cold drinks as well as various snacks.
At the Astro Shop, space-themed souvenirs, astronaut costumes, helmets, mugs, decorative lights, toys, books, and collectible items 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 together art, science, entertainment, and discovery, Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum is a unique must-see experience during your visit to Antalya.
