I sure hope to get there this year and bring my super sweet grandkids. I haven’t been there in many, many, many years. I was a child myself. Probably around 6 or 7 years old and my family found out very soon after arriving that I had an ingrown toe nail that was somewhat open and vary much disliked the salt on my flip-flop uncovered feet!

In reply to Kathy Hurst. I'm going to say yes. It's really just a big, flat area. You can park right near a dig area. There is salt and sand on the ground which could stick to wheels.

This is a great experience for kids. You do need to let the crystals dry out for a half hour or they will crumble.
One thing you can’t emphasize enough WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!
Also, wear a hat and long sleeved shirt. Even on a cool, cloudy day you will get burned without proper protection. The salt reflects the sun so it’s worse than you expect.
Have fun.
