Magic Climber
The Magic Climber is a 37-foot superstructure that allows children to climb through the prairie dog crawl, up the oil derrick, passing through the clouds until they finally reach the B-52 at the very top! This is where they will have a 360-degree view of the Magic City. It’s a STEAM adventure that challenges young minds with hands-on learning!
