And if you’re into live music, you’re in for a treat—they host live gigs on the lawn every Saturday and Sunday.  

Some of the Best Outdoor Play Equipment

Sandstone Point Hotel’s truly family-focused design is what sets it apart from many other venues. The outdoor playground is next-level, with a barnyard-style aesthetic surrounded by lush gardens.  

Here’s a quick peek at what your kids can enjoy:  

• A maze of ramps, tunnels, and rope bridges to explore.  
• A giant jumping pillow for those boundless bursts of energy.  
• Multiple slides and swings to keep the fun going.  
• There is tons of open lawn space, with soccer goals and even a trampoline!  

For those hotter or rainier days, there’s also an air-conditioned games room with video games and movies to keep the kiddos entertained. Bonus points for the sheltered outdoor seating with views of the playground—it’s the ultimate win-win for families. (Hot tip: Book ahead for these spots, especially on weekends—it’s popular!)
