Pastimes Pavilion is a Pioneer Life experience where children of all ages can enjoy outdoor toys and games from the 1840s. Try walking on stilts or racing climbing bears. Organize a game of duck on a rock, tag, tug-of-war, or checkers. Two child-sized cabins offer options for pretend play.
Our kids really enjoyed this one and wanted to revisit before we left. The stilts and hoops were a hit!

My kids played here happily for more than an hour, fascinated by what kids played with in the 1840's. Friendly, knowledgeable volunteers. Masters and a water fountain in store to cool down (this area is entirely outdoors).
