The Sand Place  |  Aurora, CO

  • Memberships are $60 per month per child, auto-billed on your signup anniversary, and you can cancel anytime.

What Can You Do Online?

Almost everything you need before a visit takes a few minutes on your phone. Our online store at shop.thesandplace.com handles the whole list, so you are not standing at the front desk with a toddler on your hip, filling in a clipboard.

Here is what indoor playground online booking covers at The Sand Place:

  • Waivers: sign once for your whole family before you arrive.
  • Admission: buy all-day play for your kids.
  • Memberships: enroll in a monthly plan and skip the line.
  • Birthday parties: pick a date, choose a package, and pay the deposit.
  • Private Play: reserve a quiet, sensory-friendly session.
  • Movie Night: buy tickets for the monthly Friday movie.

We are a small, family-owned team on Smoky Hill Rd., and we set this up so the time you spend before a visit stays short. Every purchase lands on one family profile, so the front desk already knows who you are when you walk in.

How Does the Online Waiver Work?

Every guest needs a signed waiver, and signing online is the fastest way to get through the door. You add your children, sign once, and the waiver attaches to your family’s profile. It stays on file for 12 months, so your next visit starts at the sandbox instead of the clipboard.

You can still sign on paper at the door if you prefer. Online is simply quicker, especially on a busy Saturday when the line to the counter is the longest part of the morning.

Pro Tip Sign the waiver the night before, after bedtime. Then the first thing your child does at 9 AM is dig, not wait.

How Do Admission and Memberships Work?

All-Day Play

Admission is all-day play with in-and-out re-entry and no time limit. The first child is $20, the first sibling is $18, and each sibling after that is $16. Up to two adults per paying child come in free, and infants under 12 months play free with a paying older sibling. You can see every price on our prices page.

Memberships

A membership is $60 per month per child and includes unlimited all-day play with no blackout dates and no visit caps. It bills automatically on your signup anniversary, you get an email receipt each month, and you can cancel anytime with no fees. If you visit three times a month at the standard rate, the membership pays for itself. Read the details on our memberships page.

At the front desk, your member pricing applies the moment we look you up. Nobody has to remember a discount code or do math on a calculator while your kids wait.

Book Your Visit in Minutes

Everything below runs from one online store, and every piece lands on the same family profile at the front desk.

  • Waiver – sign once, good for 12 months
  • Admission – all-day play from $20, adults free
  • Membership – $60 per month per child, cancel anytime
  • Parties – $50 deposit holds your date

Private Play and Movie Night

Private Play is a sensory-friendly session for $100: 60 minutes of exclusive access for up to 4 children plus caregivers, with a pre-session email consultation. Book it from the store at least a week ahead when you can. Movie Night is one Friday per month at $20 per child, flat, with up to 2 adults free per paying child. Doors open at 5:00 PM and the film starts at 5:15 PM. Sibling rates do not apply to Movie Night, so every child is $20.

How Does Party Booking Work?

You pick a party package, choose a date and start time, add any extras, and pay the $50 deposit. The deposit goes toward your total party cost. Our birthday page lists the packages, add-ons, and what each one includes.

Two things happen behind the screen that matter to you. First, the calendar checks the room live, so two families can never book the same party room at the same time. Second, our cancellation policy runs automatically. If you cancel or reschedule 21 or more days before the event, your deposit becomes in-store credit valid for 2 months. If you cancel within 20 days, the deposit is forfeited. You see that policy before you pay, not after.

Weekends fill up fast. Weekend parties typically book 4 to 6 weeks ahead, and weekday parties 2 to 3 weeks ahead.

The Software Behind the Counter

We should be upfront about something. The system that runs our register, waivers, memberships, and party calendar is Omni-Play, point-of-sale software built for indoor play venues. We built it alongside The Sand Place, so we are not neutral reviewers. We are the people who use it every day, and we can tell you what it does well.

Here is what we notice most on an ordinary weekend:

  • One family, one profile. Your waiver, your children, your membership, and your party booking sit on one record. The person at the desk sees all of it without asking you to repeat yourself. Omni-Play’s digital waivers attach each signature to the right family automatically.
  • Memberships that bill themselves. Recurring billing renews each month and retries a failed card, so a membership does not quietly lapse.
  • Parties that cannot be double-booked. Party booking checks capacity live and applies our deposit and cancellation rules without anyone improvising.
  • Reports that show us the quiet hours. Attendance and sales reports help us plan staffing and tell you when the sandbox is calmest.

That last point helps you directly. Our least-crowded times are weekdays 9 to 10 AM or 12 to 1 PM, and weekends 2 to 4 PM.

If you run a play space of your own and want to see how it works, the Omni-Play industries page is a good place to start.

Tips for a Faster Visit

  1. Sign your waiver online the day before.
  2. Reserve at least 48 hours ahead for weekend visits.
  3. If you plan to visit more than 3 times a month, price out a membership first.
  4. Book a party as early as you can, especially for a weekend date.
  5. Plan for sand. Kids play barefoot, there is a shoe-removal area at the entrance, and a brush-off station near the exit.
Pro Tip Call us at (303) 942-1014 if anything looks wrong at checkout. We would rather sort it out with you than have you guess.
