Sand Sculptures

Enjoyment in Garderen

In the middle of the Veluwe is a unique location: the sand sculptures in Garderen! More than 200 sculptures in the form of sand sculptures, wood sculptures and concrete depict a specific theme. In a fairytale setting, you will walk past the sculptures, featuring beautifully landscaped gardens, music and special effects. There are multiple catering options on the grounds of the Sculpture Garden for both a cup of coffee and a full lunch. A wonderful outing for the whole family.

Theme 2025

750 Years of Amsterdam

In 2025, The Sculpture Garden's sand sculpture exhibition is entirely dedicated to the celebration of 750 years of Amsterdam. With this theme, we will bring to life the rich history, culture and iconic moments of our capital city in more than 150 spectacular sand sculptures. From the Golden Age to contemporary highlights, each sculpture tells a unique story that will surprise young and old alike. A journey of discovery through time for all ages. Visit us from March 17, 2025 in Garderen on the Veluwe and take a time travel through 750 years of Amsterdam's splendor. An unforgettable experience that brings art and history together as never before.
