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 wheelchair-accessible, rustic Adirondack-style treehouse in the shady Forest Walk.
  • 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.

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.)
