This place was awesome! I took my son for the first time today. It was a little difficult to find at first but this is a hidden gem. The staff person was super friendly when we were checking it and allowed us to stay into the second session since we got there really late due to traffic. Its really cheap, $8 for 1.5 hours of fun. The sand is soft and easy to brush off. There is lots of seating for adults to hang out outside of they desire. I wish there was a larger variety of toys but other than that lots of fun and well be back

Sand volleyball after a long time - was a great team sport for us. They are pretty accommodating and encouraging all through. Well maintained courts, sand and surroundings.

Clean, bright, fun. We went for the little diggers event, which was great. They opened one side of the courts, about 600 sq ft, which was plenty of space for everyone. The sand is fantastic for digging, its very fine and packs well when wet. Lots of toys were provided, primarily shovels and dump trucks. Our only criticism was the lack of excavators provided.

Really affordable play place! The staff is friendly and as someone who has transplanted from Hawaii to Seattle - I love that it reminds me of home! Its really so fun, even for myself to take some time to play in sand; with or without the kids. The facility is clean with both men and women bathrooms. The changing table is accessible for everyone! Being just outside both restrooms. Rental space for parties is available, as well as, their own parking lot! Lil Diggers Playtime is a great way to get babies started with some sensory play.

Great indoor place for summer fun in the winter! Little cold inside but youll warm up running around! No need to bring toys for kiddos they have some they put out!!

We had our company party at this place .. it was fun and we enjoyed played volleyball ball. I think we need more indoor beach style areas in Seattle. I took out one star because their parking space is limited and the are is not the best in Seattle

Fun, family place... Good place to play some sand volleyball. You can play on adult or junior leagues, take classes to get better.

Had our field trip here the other day and it was fun and fabulous! The staff is friendly and the area is super clean with lots of toys for kids. Parking is free and it feels heavenly walking into the building and be welcomed with a tropical fragrance of the place. Ill definitely come back again.

Best place to go when it is raining to play some beach volleyball.

A very nice, clean and fun place, with great employees!

One last update (2 to 5 stars): I thoroughly enjoyed my beginners level session on Alki Beach. Our class was taught by Herman and he was a cool dude- the right amount of pushing and coaching. We were able to play a short game by the end of it. Only about an hour/hour and a half but its a solid period of continuous action and evolution. I cant wait for next Friday! Worth the investment.It can be a bit hard for a newcomer to figure out how Fridays work each year, as it sounds like each Summer has a varying start date. An earlier update to the website and less confusing web-form registration would be a big help to people like myself.---Edited: Staff reached out to me and schedule was updated around that time (within a day). Going to give Fridays a shot. Hoping for a fun exp. Thank you for following up.---Website info is not up to date. Have made 4 attempts via phone and email looking for more information about the Alki Friday schedule. Except for an in-direct email demand for payment when I tried to sign up on the somewhat confusing web form no one has answered my other emails. Am reluctant to sign up for Fridays based on lack of info and confidence in where the money would go.

Awesome beach day for little ones even on a rainy day! Indoor sand play for kiddos during the weekdays

Put some signs on your parking spots that they are for your business instead of yelling at people over your microphone!

Came here to play in the sand and escape the rain. One volley ball court is filled with toys and some chairs for adults to sit in to watch. Toys include shovels, pails, trucks, two small slides (think little tyke) and soft balls. Ages are 0 to 5 so the overall vibe is very chill. Hours for sand play are limited to a morning and afternoon time. Love that this is a place you can sit and relax and watch while your little plays.

My husband and I love coming here to play volleyball on the weekends. Having played pretty seriously in school, I can say sometimes its hard to get a great game of volleyball going, but I always find games here!

Cool idea and good place to practice volleyball. I feel like Im breathing in dust constantly just watching the kids, but it is dirt so..

Went for the kids play time. What a great use of an indoor facility for toddlers to play in the sand! Definitely recommend for a rainy day.

2 Courts and a small warmup court. Its warm and tropical themed. Nice people and all are welcomed warmly. Highly recommend.

A great place to meet some new people and get into beach volleyball. Leagues for all levels. Great staff and good beer selection and TV to watch the games.

Cool venue if you like volleyball and lots of sand.

LOVE it! We are so lucky to have an indoor place to play volleyball through the winter.

Just played here tonight and had a blast! Great courts and fun people, cant wait to play more volleyball here.

Went for the Lil Diggers. Most places that are aimed towards kids charge per kid, but this place charges per adult, which really makes no sense because its not the adults who are really using the space. Also, the place smelled faintly of feet. Actually, kind of strongly. They also moistened the sand, Im assuming so that the kids could build sand castles, but honestly, it just made it cold (and its currently February, so that wasnt necessarily a good thing), and toddlers dont care if they can build sand castles. It wasnt even moist enough for that, so Im not sure why they did it. Not sure if I would consider going back.

So cool! Kids loved it. Tiki bar area could use a little TLC but its pretty cool

Love this place - Willie and the Sandbox staff create a fun environment for indoor leagues year round. Parking can be a pain at certain times, but its really nice having an indoor sand option in the wetter/colder/darker Seattle months.

Good rainy day spot for kids or grandkids. Our almost five year old granddaughter is just a little too old for it but younger kids really dug it.

Group party was fun

Had a company beach volleyball event here. Excellent venue for socializing, playing, and drinking.

Great spot for a rainy day! There are a ton of sand toys to play with so you dont need to bring a thing! The giant Tonka dump truvks are my sons favorite!

Great place to play sand volleyball during the off season!

Fun indoor sand volleyball and parties all year!

This is a nice place to play some indoor sand volleyball. The staff is very friendly. We dropped in one day and they have little diggers having fun in the sand. Very cool place to have parties with Pingpong and fooseball tables available, several large screen tvs and lots of tables and chairs.

Great place for volleyball on the sand.

AWESOME, had a birthday party there once

Sand and beer

Awesome place to play volleyball
