Fort Wild Exhibition at Discovery Place Kids Nature

An outdoor area where play is natural
Explore the great outdoors and build forts, make music, perform on the outdoor stage or just run free.

Logs, boulders and bird blinds help spur on activity, but it’s up to you where your time in nature will take you.

Just off the Paw Paw Nature Trail is a whole world of exploration. Grab a wheelbarrow and pile up some rocks and timbers to build a tower or bridge.

Connect with wonder and listen for fairies who may be home in their stump village. If no one is home, perhaps head back to your tee-pee and see if you can put a camp together.

From the open lawn to shady natural areas, there’s a place for all ages to relax, and experience all that the 100-year-old woods have to offer.
