General
Diggers Cove is an indoor, hands-on play space in Plano, TX designed for children 10 and under. Kids can dig, build, create, and explore across multiple interactive zones, with high-quality sand play at its heart. It's a thoughtfully designed environment that's as enjoyable for parents as it is for the kids.
Unlike loud, overstimulating play places, Diggers Cove is built around meaningful, hands-on play. Our space is centered on high-quality sand play, interactive zones, and open-ended creativity, giving kids room to explore and imagine, while parents enjoy a genuinely clean, calm environment.
We're designed for children ages 1 to 10. Toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary kids all find plenty to love here.
We have four unique play zones: The Sand Pit, Animated Sandbox, Interactive Creative Wall, and RC Construction Sand Zone. Each one is designed to spark imagination, encourage movement, and reward hands-on exploration. Explore all play zones.

Yes, all children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. We love seeing families engage together, it's a big part of what makes a visit here special.
Absolutely. We have comfortable seating areas throughout the space so parents can relax and recharge while staying close to all the action.
Sand & Cleanliness
We follow a daily multi-step cleaning routine to keep our sand safe, fresh, and enjoyable at all times. All sand zones are kept completely food, drink, and gum-free to prevent contamination before it can start. Throughout the day, our team actively monitors the sand, removes any debris, and regularly turns and fluffs it to keep it light, airy, and evenly maintained. All toys and equipment are cleaned and rotated daily, and kid-safe cleaning solutions are used as part of our standard routine. Learn more about our Clean Play Promise.
Yes. Our sand is 100% silica-free and dust-free, carefully selected to be soft and safe for children's play. It's gentle on little hands and feet while delivering a rich, satisfying sensory experience. We also maintain strict hygiene standards around how the sand is used and cared for, preventing outside contaminants, maintaining clean equipment, and supporting the space with proper air filtration so the sand stays safe and enjoyable for every child. Learn more about our sand.
Our facility is equipped with commercial-grade air filtration systems that continuously circulate and clean the air throughout the day. These systems capture airborne particles, dust, and allergens, helping keep the environment fresh and comfortable for both kids and parents from the moment you walk in. Learn more about our air filtration.
Cleaning happens throughout the entire day, not just after hours. Our team continuously monitors the space, cleans high-touch surfaces, and maintains the sand zones during operating hours. We also follow a structured end-of-day routine that includes sanitizing all toys, equipment, and play areas using kid-safe solutions. The result is a consistently clean, safe space for every visit.
Comfortable play clothes are best. Sand play is wonderfully messy, so dress for fun and don't worry about keeping things spotless, that's what we're here for.
No socks anywhere in the facility. Everyone plays barefoot, keeping our sand clean and the experience authentic for every child.
Outside food and drinks are not permitted during Open Play sessions. This helps us maintain our clean sand environment. We do sell snacks and drinks on-site if you need a little fuel during your visit. Food is welcome for birthday party guests only.
