Hosted at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and Botanic Gardens, Fortlandia is a celebration of childhood fort building, in which architects create different forts to tickle the imagination of young and old.

Building forts is a universal childhood experience. Whether out of blankets and pillows, sticks and leaves, or refrigerator boxes, it is the pinnacle of big picture creativity.

Now open until January 31st, Fortlandia 2022 features 8 forts built by professional architects and artists arrayed along a nature trail for kids, so they can explore and pretend to their heart's content.

Color Space Architecture from San Marcos, for example, contributed 'The Critter Stack', which creates a play and meet and greet environment for kids and forest critters.
