Get ready to tap into your inner musician! As part of our exciting new Enchanted Cove Playground in the Story Garden, The Discovery Center is absolutely thrilled to announce that the installation of the Magical Music Garden is now complete and ready for play!
Nestled around our whimsical new Fairy House, you’ll discover a collection of truly beautiful outdoor instruments, just waiting for little (and big!) hands to create harmonious melodies. These aren’t just any instruments; each one was hand-selected and specially shipped all the way from London, England, from Percussion Play, the world’s leading manufacturer of outdoor musical instruments. Their quality and unique sound will transport you to a world of musical wonder!
Why Music? Why Here?
Music is a universal language, transcending age, gender, and background. It’s a fundamental part of human life that effortlessly connects us all. What makes these instruments truly special is their incredible accessibility. Designed to be effortlessly played, they allow children and adults of all ages and abilities to experience the pure joy and gratification of making music together. There’s no need for formal musical training – any combination of our outdoor instruments can be played together harmoniously, encouraging natural exploration and collaborative creativity.
Imagine the laughter and delight as your child strikes a note, creating a sound that blends perfectly with a friend’s, fostering teamwork and a shared sense of accomplishment. This garden is more than just instruments; it’s a space where imagination takes flight through sound.
A Heartfelt Thank You
The creation of this enchanting space and the purchase and installation of these magnificent instruments were made possible by the incredibly generous donations from the Friends and Family of Donna Stack. Their thoughtful contributions have brought this dream to life, leaving a lasting legacy of music and joy for countless children and families in our community. We extend our deepest gratitude for their support.
Come visit The Discovery Center soon and let the rhythm move you! We can’t wait to see (and hear!) the beautiful music you’ll create in our Magical Music Garden.
The Story Garden is part of The Discovery Center’s outdoor play space that is free and open to the public every day from dawn to dusk.
