The Museum of the Southwest is excited to open The Amazing Castle™ on Thursday, September 17, 2026!
Step inside a magical castle village and discover what life was like in a medieval community. Through imaginative costumes, hands-on activities, and role-playing, children and their grown-ups can work together to build a thriving village.
Become a tailor, carpenter, or blacksmith in the Royal Workshops, gather vegetables from the garden, prepare a hearty stew in the Great Hall, and solve the puzzle to awaken Herald, the sleeping dragon!
