Forts
What Kids Love
Families can build giant forts using cozy blankets, soft pillows, and whimsical furniture. They can build an elaborate fortress, curl up with a book, or discover a magical hidden room tucked behind a wardrobe. Cozy antiques and projected “moving photographs” add an extra layer of wonder and surprise to the space.
What Kids Learn
Forts nurtures imagination, collaboration, and emotional comfort. As children design spaces together, they practice problem-solving, negotiation, and storytelling. The cozy environment also supports regulation and connection, reminding kids that play can be both adventurous and safe.
What to Expect
Forts is a cozy, imaginative space designed for slower-paced, collaborative play. Lighting is soft, and the atmosphere feels calm and inviting. Children can build, rest, or simply observe. The secret pillow room and hidden spaces provide a sense of whimsy and comfort, making this exhibit especially appealing for kids who benefit from quieter, enclosed environments.
