ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (January 29, 2024) — Come play in the QC's own tropical getaway! Kids love being creative with the sand, using toys to build, dig, and let their imaginations run wild. Families are encouraged to bring toys from home to play in the sand. Pick up a scavenger hunt at the front to learn more about the plants surrounding the sand pile.
The Sun Garden also features a koi and goldfish pond and a fourteen-foot waterfall. With temperatures on average at 70-75 degrees with 60-80% humidity in the winter, the Sun Garden is the perfect place to melt away the winter blues.
