KidsLawn
Interactive Musical Playground
This family-friendly space on the North Lawn is the perfect place to let kids run and play between interactive, large-scale percussion instruments on which they can make their own kind of music.
KidsLawn is open at all concerts!
On select dates, KidsLawn features additional activities such as an “instrument petting zoo,” arts and crafts, or live performances (details below).
