life to more extraordinary hands-on adventures with the opening of The
Amazing Castle. Visitors to the exhibit are transported to a magical place
and time – inside the castle’s stone walls lays a happy and peaceful little
community where every citizen has a special job to do.
While inside The Amazing Castle, children can try on costumes and engage in
role-play, by becoming lords and ladies, castle villagers, or even “HiJinx
the Jester.” After picking vegetables in the garden, friends and family can
take a seat at the royal table while children prepare a meal using wooden
bowls, cooking utensils and a fireplace complete with a glowing fire, a spit
and a cauldron. Within the Tailor Shop, children and adults can try their
hand at repairing and making clothing for all the castle citizens then move
on to the Carpenter’s Shop where they can grab a work apron and build a
simple table or chair using mortise and tenon construction, and finally,
inside the Blacksmith Shop children can pretend to repair iron tools using a
stone forge with “glowing” coals, a water bucket, and Synge’s anvil.
