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 is among the largest and most prestigious sand sculpture organizations in the world.
Spanning 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 on 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 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. Thus, Sandland offers an impressive experience appealing to all ages, for space enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
An Enjoyable Experience for All Ages
Sandland is not just an exhibition area, but also an entertaining and educational discovery center. Thanks to special sections curated for children, teenagers, and adults, visitors both learn and have a pleasant time.
With their entry ticket, visitors have the privilege of visiting the museum twice on the same day. While the sculptures can be viewed under natural daylight, they 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 between 09:00 and 22:00.
Free Telescope Observation
One of Sandland's most remarkable experiences is the free astronomical observations. Thanks to the powerful telescopes available at the museum, visitors have the chance 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 the tour, visitors can unwind at the Astro Cafe with hot and cold drinks as well as a variety of snacks, leaving the day's fatigue behind.
At the Astro Shop, space-themed souvenirs, astronaut costumes, helmets, mugs, decorative lights, toys, books, and collectible items await visitors.
Through 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 exploration together, Sandland – Sand Sculpture Museum is one of the unique experiences you must see during your visit to Antalya.
