Where Nature Meets Play
Cactus Clubhouse is a fun and immersive nature play space for kids 12 and younger. Kids can engage in activities that spark their curiosity for nature and encourage exploration. Families can dig, splash, climb, play, create, build and more! Join us on the weekends for fun hands-on activities and crafts too.
Cactus Clubhouse is a Certified Nature Explore Classroom. For more information, click here.
