Golisano Children’s Museum

Naples, FL –

At the heart of this interactive children’s museum stands a spectacular 40-foot-tall banyan tree with a 40-foot canopy diameter, designed to ignite imagination and encourage exploration. Built as a fully immersive, walk-through structure, this towering banyan features column-clad trunks, interwoven root systems, and branching canopies that stretch across the exhibit’s ceiling.

The treehouse experience invites children to climb, explore, and discover multiple levels of learning and play, including a raised walkway, interactive exhibits, and educational signage seamlessly integrated into the environment. The lifelike texture of the banyan bark, extensive branching limbs, and lush green foliage create a whimsical forest canopy that blends architectural ingenuity with the wonder of nature.

A centerpiece installation that sets the tone for the entire museum, the banyan tree celebrates imaginative learning, hands-on engagement, and the spirit of adventure.
