castle playground

If your kid is obsessed with knights and dragons, this is the spot. The castle-themed setup gives kids ages 3-12 plenty to work with imaginatively — turrets, themed structures, the whole deal. It’s over in Peoria, not far from The Village at Vistancia, so you can easily make a half-day of it. The accessible design means it works for most kids, which is a genuine plus when you’re wrangling a mixed-age group.
