Treehouse Building Workshop
Bring the whole family for a fun, hands-on day of creativity and building! In this 4-hour workshop, you will get to design and build your own imaginative miniature treehouse using materials like branches, wood, wire, popsicle sticks, hot glue, cardboard, and paint. Find inspiration from the current exhibit Building Wonder: Bonsai Treehouses by Dave Creek and give it a try yourself! Along the way, you’ll learn a bit about how trees grow and how treehouses are built to work with trees. No experience needed—just bring your imagination! All tools and materials provided.
Cost: $95**Price is per child and each child needs to be accompanied by at least one adult. A family can purchase one admission and make one treehouse together.
