So, wait… Is this a PLAY? At FORTS: Build Your Own Adventure play is both a noun and a verb. Just like a play (noun), there is theatrical lighting, sound design, and music that shapes your imaginative journey. Unlike a play, you won’t sit in a seat and watch, YOU will play (verb). It’s an experience where everyone can build, dream, and create together.
But what do I do? The lights come up and you walk into a living room filled with couches and giant towers of cardboard boxes. First order of business—build! It could be a dizzying feat of engineering that reaches the sky. It could be a cozy fort for one. It could be coloring and making a new friend. With new elements added throughout the experience and lights and sound that take you from day to night and back again, the story is different every time.
Who is in charge? The experience is facilitated by two amazing adventure guides who are there to support your journey and make sure everyone has a great time and stays safe!
Are food & drink allowed in the space? While you can’t take food and drink into the adventure, there will be space outside of the adventure zone to fuel up or take a break and concessions will be open.
How can a 5 year old and a 55 year old enjoy the same experience? When we say “people of all ages” – we mean it. When was the last time you had the chance to build, create, and explore? Rediscover your inner child by taking a moment to unplug and play. And of course, young people are experts at playing so FORTS is a great opportunity to let the young ones in your life lead the way. Want to leave the kids at home? Check out our Adult Nights in the ways to play below.
How long is FORTS? The experience runs for 60 minutes. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to the show to enjoy pre-show activities with your Adventure Guides.
How many kids may I bring? There is a limit of 3 kids for each adult.
Anything else I should know? Shoes aren’t allowed in the play-space so choose cute socks the day you visit!
