Fantasy in Sand featuring The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a unique family experience debuting in The American Dream City on Friday, May 22!

It tells the story of characters we all know so well — Dorothy, Toto, the Wizard, the Wicked Witch of the West, the Scarecrow and more — through intricately carved sand sculptures, some of which are 20 feet tall.

Tickets are on sale now at www.FantasyInSand.com. General admission tickets are $19.99 with discounts available for kids (ages 11 and under), active military and groups.

The experience is located at Parking Lot F by Globe Life Park in Arlington and will run through Sunday, August 23.

Beginning in early May, internationally renowned sand sculptors will begin carving 3 million pounds of sand into 11 scenes from L. Frank Baum’s famous book, including the Cowardly Lion, the Flying Monkeys and the Emerald City of Oz.

The finale is called America the Beautiful and will feature the Lincoln Memorial, Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore and other American landmarks.

The experience concludes with a Texas-sized sandbox, which is 2,000 square feet, where children can create their own sand sculptures while parents watch from an observation deck. This is the largest indoor sandbox in Texas.

Fantasy in Sand is enclosed in an enormous air-conditioned tent for the guests’ comfort and includes parking, accessibility for strollers, ADA compliance for wheelchairs, restrooms and a snack bar.

More information about the event, including ways to purchase tickets and hours of operation, is available at www.FantasyInSand.com.

The experience will stay open late on weekend nights when the Texas Rangers play home games so baseball fans may enjoy both events while in Arlington.
