Did you know Central Alabama’s largest indoor sandbox just opened at Legacy Parc at Riverchase? The Diggin’ Depot Play Cafe is an indoor sensory play haven designed for children ages one to seven. The cafe has 40 tons of Baha Play Sand, with lots of fun sand toys and vehicles for kids to enjoy. “From construction vehicles to interactive play zones, we offer endless opportunities for exploration and learning,” their website explains. “Kids can dig, scoop, pour, build, and practice motor skills in a safe space that keeps play messy and imaginative.”
The Baha Play Sand is made of smooth, round grains, making it easy for children to build with, and it’s created out of silica-free, quartz-free, non-toxic materials. (Plus, it’s a nut-free facility, perfect for kiddos with allergies!) Feel free to snag a drink from the cafe and chat with a friend in the seats by the sandbox while your littles have fun.
They’re open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m, and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m., with private parties available after 3 p.m. While older kids are allowed to assist younger siblings as space allows, the sandbox is specifically designed for those under age eight.
