This is an unusual festival held in Antalya on Lara Beach. It is called "Sandland". One of the largest among similar festivals in the world. Every year, on an area of 7000 m2, in the open air, dozens of real masterpieces of sand are created. The themes of the exhibitions are constantly changing - Hollywood films, Empires of different times, Heroes of myths and legends. Build figures only from river sand and water. Their life span is several months. In the evening they are beautifully highlighted.

However, they look poor in the colorful lightning. And I believe it is still pricy, they have kids ticket after 4 years old, thus generally all the museums here allow kids at 5 to come free. They also do not have student’s discount.
We spent around 40 minutes to walk around.

It was fascinating to see the sculptures. I would have liked to have seen an artist making the figure just to be sure it was really made from sand.

Very hot day so take some water with you. It’s dry and dusty.
Paid 750 TLR for 3 people from the Sandlands website and we were done in under 30 mins. It’s really quick to walk around and see the sculptures. We went on a weekday in the early afternoon. There was no one there so no crowds and no lines to wait.

Right next to Lara Beach is a Sand Sculpture Museum in a very beautiful large decorative design. It has been operating for 12 years. Working hours are from 09:00 to 23:00.

The Sand statues look very beautiful in the evening, with red and yellow lighting, the statues come to life and look magnificent. In addition you can see the Moon close with a telescope. Under the sounds of beautiful space music walking there and looking at the sculptures is a pleasure. The entrance ticket prices are different, the prices are different for local citizens and tourists, with the ticket you bought, you can go in and out several times during the day, you can go to the beach and come back again for a beautiful light show in the evening. It is one of the most interesting and must-see tourist places in Antalya. Everyone who comes to Antalya must visit this museum, it is a museum worth the money you pay.

10 minutes we were finished! Waste of money! 2 adults and 1 child came up to about £18!
Some of the sculptures falling apart,
Do not come here if you have nothing else to do! Stay in your room in your hotel and watch TV! I PROMISE!

Smaller than depicted, but very nice sculptures! A word of caution, do not go at night. They are open until 11 p.m. The lights that they have do no justice at all for the incredible exhibit.

Nice sculptures from sand, some very impressive, however in my opinion the pictures on Google are more than enough, not worth the price or the hype.
