Extravagant Bug-Eyed Playgrounds

This New Creative Playground Will Blow Kids Away

Teaching your kids that scary creepy crawlers are not a threat will become so much easier if you take them to this creative playground on their next play-date.

Located in Stockholm, the Kristinebergs Slottspark creative playground was designed by Danish design firm Monstrum in collaboration with Nivå landskapsarkitektur.

Featuring two five meter owls as lookouts (with their eyes lighting up at night) the playground has it all: huge mushrooms connected via ropes and bars, colorful nine meter beetles and crawling 3-D ants all around the playground.

Kids can also play at the ant hill, the sandbox (which is shaped like a flower box to bake yummy sand cakes) and the acorn playhouses.
