Natural Woodlands
The main feature of the woodland area is, of course, the treehouse, based on the series of chapter books titled The Magic Treehouse. Cantilevered over the ravine, the children will feel as if they are eagles nested in the canopy of a tree. Our Japanese teahouse and garden, based on Flags and Sadako and the Thousand Cranes, is also located in the forest, showcasing woodland and shade loving plants. Finally, the cabin from Little House in the Big Woods offers children a chance to pretend they’re keeping house in a log cabin or traveling across the Midwest in a covered wagon.
