Our Backyard



Climb to safe heights, test your balance on stumps and logs, and move along elevated streams

Our Backyard invites guests outside to scale the heights of a universally-accessible, custom-designed three-story Climber. Play in a gentle stream with native stone, while using tools such as buckets and sieves for water play.

Note: For your safety, the Climber is closed during and directly following wet weather conditions.


Things to know and what to try:

  • Children practice coordination skills by climbing, jumping, balancing and more in Our Backyard.
  • Encourage your child to test their courage on the netted three-story Climber.
  • Notice children building confidence, taking on new challenges and exploring the natural world.

Plan your next trip at Thinkery.

We have tons of fun and exciting things to do, updated on a regular basis. Check out what we have to offer and see if you can join us!
