Bellaboo’s Imagination Garden
Outdoor Discovery Center turns unused space into six interactive gardens, featuring a pirate ship, whale, and splash play.
The Outdoor Discovery Center transforms unused space into a vibrant, interactive children’s garden and learning campus for families of all ages and abilities. Six themed gardens invite kids to play, splash, explore, and learn in a destination experience unique to the Northwest Region and beyond.
The centerpiece is a large wooden pirate ship set out to sea, complete with floating barrels, a capsized rowboat, and an accessible vessel for adventurous play. No ocean adventure is complete without giant sea creatures—a life-size friendly whale serves as a climber and slide for young buccaneers. A Treasure Island–themed splash pad and shallow stream, featuring ground geysers and elevated runnels, give children a place to cool off and continue the adventure, blending learning, imagination, and outdoor play in a single, immersive experience.
