The Climb-It@LICM two-story climbing sculpture evokes as much energy as the children moving inside. Visitors can keep an eye on one another as they move independently throughout the sculpture, exploring paths and levels. The ribbon-like ramp provides visitors in strollers or wheelchairs with the same winding sensation as those inside the sculpture.
Children must be 42” tall to ensure young bodies can move safely and confidently from one level to another. Grown-ups are often unaware how frequently they lend a helping hand to their children to ensure safety and security. Inside Climb-it, children can see their grown-ups but take charge of their own movement.
“I was stationed at the Climb-it and all of a sudden this little boy above me in the climber grabs my attention and then proceeds to just simply tell me, "I love this spot." – LICM Educator, November 2016

Keep exercise focused on fun to get your kids moving. Have an animal race. Slither like a snake and waddle like a duck. If you get bubble wrap in the mail, jump on it until it is all popped.
