Editor's Take

About the Venue

Sandbox by Hill House Meridian is a distinctive indoor play concept centered on sand play and sensory exploration rather than a standard foam playground. Families get open play with no reservations required, flexible drop-in access, and a setup that encourages caregivers to stay close while kids explore. Because it sits inside Idaho Beach and includes food service, it can work well for longer visits than a typical quick-play stop.
