The Sandbox Children’s Museum
Let your kids dive into hands-on learning at The Sandbox, Hilton Head’s interactive children’s museum.

The museum regularly hosts puppet shows, science demos, interactive story times, and reptile meet & greets that keep young minds engaged and curious.
Gregg Russell Concerts at Harbour Town

Check the fall schedule for select evening performances, where kids gather at his feet and adults sing along to familiar favorites. It’s a quintessential Hilton Head experience that brings generations together through music and laughter.
