At The Children’s Museum of La Crosse in Wisconsin, the Luckey Climber rises as a whimsical vertical habitat, alive with the energy of imaginative play. Inspired by the natural world and the curious creatures that inhabit it, this structure invites young explorers into a forest of movement and discovery. Peering eyes—speckled, striped, and scaled—look up and down from every angle, evoking the feeling of being watched by playful companions as children climb and navigate its winding paths. With vibrant colors, layered platforms, and a design that responds to the museum’s dynamic interior, this climber transforms vertical space into a multi-sensory adventure rooted in curiosity and connection.
