Read more about this location
Sandmagination is a highly distinctive Peabody indoor play concept centered on a large indoor sandbox rather than climbing structures or inflatables. The space is built for sensory-rich, imaginative play with added STEAM-style elements, and it pairs the kid zone with parent-friendly seating, Wi‑Fi, coffee, and direct sightlines into the sand area. It is a great match for families who want a calmer, more tactile visit and less ideal for kids who mainly want slides, trampolines, or arcade-style action.
