I'll probably earn a few bucks if you purchase something after clicking on the links in this post. We aren’t talking about enough for a mansion or yacht but more like chocolate and wine.

My family and I always look for fun and unique things to do on vacation. Sand Castle University fits that bill and is a great family activity in Gulf Shores!
Do you want to build a sand castle and aren't sure how? Or do you want to learn how to create better sand castles? That's where Sand Castle University steps in. Sand Castle University teaches you and your friends/family how to build a sandcastle and shows you right on the beach! If you learn best by doing, this class is for you!
Here's a fast version of the class my family took together:
To begin, we set up our pails in a circle.
To start, we then all claimed a bucket to make our castles.
After claiming all the spots, the instructor demonstrated and explained what we needed to do to create the perfect sand castle, including how to use each set of tools.
Lastly, after everyone finished, we took group photos, and the clean-up lasted about 15 minutes. It was amazing how fast the time went by!
After your class, you will receive an email with a list of the tools used in the class, your FREE time-lapse video, and some local recommendations!
What do you think of our final products?
Now, what did we all think of this? It was amazing! I can only recommend Sand Castle University. As you can see, we all followed the same directions, and look at the emerging creativity! The adults had just as much fun as the kids! We had an amazing time, and I cannot wait to take the second class! Janel is an amazing teacher. Even in the event of accidentally caving in part of your castle (we won't say who did that), she fixes it, lol.
If you are in Gulf Shores, you have to call Sand Castle University and have Janel come out and teach you the fine art of building a sand castle. The best part is she comes to you! I look forward to seeing your creations!
How fun! I can see my kids loving this. They enjoy building sand castles. They always make one when we go to the beach.
i could see my kids adoring doing this in the summer too ha who doesnt love enjoying building sand castles !
Never heard of sand castle university. Looks like fun, I mean water, sun and sand what more fun could anyone possible want.
This looks like a fun activity to do as a family. I’ve never heard of Sand Castle University and I know the grandkids would love this. I’d love it too.
Well that looks like fun! This summer we will be on the beach a lot and this would be fun to do!
OMG I need to attend Sand Castle University. All I know is how to make a volcano and let me tell you–my kids are NOT impressed.
This would be so fun to do! I could never properly make a sand castle, and seeing this gets me excited to attend.
It’s all about the tools! I would definitely do a sand castle university with my family. We are all crazy competitive and this would be so fun!
Beach days are always amazing and getting a castle tutorial so much fun. I need a vacation in the sun like this one.
What a fun activity to do while at the beach. I can see how the adults would love it as much as the kids.
This looks like so much fun! Building sandcastles at the beach is such a fond memory from childhood and the perfect family activity!
Haha now this sounds like something different to do! I have to admit I probably need to take a sandcastle making class, I’m not very good at it.
I need this class for myself. I have always tried to build my own sand castle and it always looks like a ball of nothing.
This looks like such much fun. I could really use this class for myself. It looks like so much fun.
This looks fun! I wish we have that here. My niece would really enjoy doing this.
Building sandcastles is so much fun! I can’t wait for summer!
It has been a long time since we last visited the beach and made sand castles. I look forward to the day I can make them with my son!
This is really fun, I can see kids are enjoying it. when ever we visit beach my kids try to make some castle. That is their activity after swimming in the water.
This look like a blast! Love it!!!
