The magic of pretend play was in full display this summer at Cheekwood. As a collaboration with Castle Homes, five unique Enchanted Castles were built and scattered along the grounds of Cheekwood. Children (and some adults — I saw you!) were invited to swing, slide, climb, fight imaginary dragons, cross bridges and call down to their royal court. Each castle told a story of its own, from a flowered fairy palace to a wizard’s watch tower. Here’s hoping this exhibit makes a return.
