Playgrounds are a pretty common site throughout the state. However, I’m willing to bet that the play area at the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is one of the most magical. With a charming subdivision in kid-sized proportions and a huge tree house, the whimsical playground is like something straight out of a storybook. Take a look:

Located in Gulfport, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center is an incredible children’s museum that has only continued to grow since opening its doors in 1998.

Outside, six oak-covered acres provide more space for kids to let their imaginations run wild. One of the best parts about the outdoor play area is Kids Street, a charming subdivision in kid-sized proportions that offers big fun.
