We were here for almost 2 hours and it was awesome. There are so many community toys for kids to sift, dig, pour etc. My kids were trapped by the trowels for 30 minutes, pouring sand over and over into teaspoons, sifters etc.  There are also the play structures which give you plenty to climb and see far. IF all else fails, you’re right next to the ocean so you could honestly burn 3 hours here easily and have a great morning. If you find yourself hungry, go to Palm City and order the hoagie: my husband loves this location because he gets to grab some palm city with the kiddos.
