Get ready for a brand new season of Fortlandia, returning to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center with a whole new lineup of imaginative forts designed to spark creativity, wonder, and play. Nestled in the Family Garden, these interactive structures invite kids (and grown-ups) to climb, explore, and reconnect with nature through the magic of hands-on discovery.

This year’s lineup features eight all-new forts, each one custom-designed by local architects, artists, and designers:

• DMD Interactive: Prairie Schooner

• Cushing Terrell: Birdhouse

• HKS Austin: Living Kaleidoscope

• Jobe Corral Architects: Cactlandia

• Gensler: Play Perch

• Hill & Hammer: Flower Wild

• MEM + Swyss: Roots Rambler

• Page: Petalstitch

Families can run, climb, and play among these creative hideouts, and even design their own in the build-your-own-fort area.
