St. Louis is a wonderful place to live, but there are a few drawbacks to living in the middle of the country. Like no beach. But you don’t need to go all the way to Florida to enjoy a little sun and sand. The Magic House is making all our dreams come true with Sandcastle Beach! Ten truckloads of sand are transforming the backyard of The Magic House into a beachfront park. Take a stroll along the boardwalk, cool off under an ocean mister or relax under a beach umbrella while the little ones search for hidden shells. A world-champion sand sculptor is building a gigantic 75-ton sandcastle along the beach’s shore. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
Sandcastle Beach runs daily from May 20 to June 27. Admission is $8.75 for ages 1 and above and includes all the exhibits in The Magic House. Members are free. For more information, call 314-822-8900.
P.S. – Want to save some money? Become a fan of The Magic House on Facebook. For the month of May, you’ll receive one free child admission with a paying adult. This offer is for Facebook fans only, so befriend them today by clicking here.
P.P.S. – While you're on Facebook, become a fan of St. Louis Kids Magazine too, if you haven't already!
