Nature's Castles

The sky’s the limit for this spectacular display of treehouses. Three large-scale treehouses created by the country’s best designers take center stage in picturesque settings around the Gardens.

Let Your Inner Child Come Out To Play In
Three Fantastic Creations:

• The Lookout Loft, a rustic Adirondack-style treehouse in the shady Forest Walk. ADA Accessible*
• The Canopy Cathedral, an ornate two-story house inspired by a Norwegian church overlooking the Italian Water Garden
• The Birdhouse, located in the Terrace Woodland, offers bird’s-eye views of the surrounding natural landscape

* Please note : Improvements are being made to the Lookout Loft's pathway and the wheelchair ramp may be unavailable to guests in early to mid July 2009.

Longwood's popular Nature's Castles exhibit will be staying at the Gardens indefinitely! (The treehouses orginally opened in April 2008 as a temporary exhibit.)
