The Whimsical Playground In Mississippi That’s Straight Out Of A Storybook

Playgrounds are a pretty common site throughout the state. However, I’m willing to bet that the play area at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is one of the most magical. With a charming subdivision in kid-sized proportions and a huge tree house, the whimsical playground is like something straight out of a storybook. Take a look:

Located in Gulfport, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is an incredible children’s museum that has only continued to grow since opening its doors in 1998.

The 15,000-square-foot facility is brimming with interactive exhibits that focus on everything from the arts to exploration. But that’s not all...

Outside, six oak-covered acres provide more space for kids to let their imaginations run wild. One of the best parts about the outdoor play area is Kids Street, a charming subdivision in kid-sized proportions that offers big fun.

As children explore the homes, they’ll get a glimpse at what goes into building them.

The whimsical play space also includes Tree House Village, a massive tree house that’s situated in the tops of 100-year-old oaks.

Like something straight from a storybook, the expansive treetop village is sure to delight kids of all ages (even kids at heart).

As educational as it is fun, Tree House Village is designed to help children discover a new appreciation for nature.

The play area also features several other interactive exhibits and activities, which include everything from a musical garden to a replica of Bear Creek.
