Back by popular demand, Forts and Clubhouses allows kids to put their creativity and engineering skills to the test as they transform an enormous pile of everyday items into the ultimate fort.
At this unique exhibit, the timeless childhood tradition of fort building is taken to new levels as children work together to create one-of-a-kind, whimsical play spaces using cardboard boxes, colorful blankets, fluffy pillows and more. Whether they are building a little pup tent or erecting a giant fortress, children will be encouraged to use their best defense against boredom - their imaginations!
Open during regular hours at The Magic House through Aug. 14. Free with admission.
