Instagram post 2213412380691710000_1134410758 Fortlandia Friday: Passforts! 🌿✏️ When you visit Fortlandia, pick up a Passfort field guide with fun, creative prompts & spaces for doodles + observations. It’s a great way to spend time together (or alone for older kiddos and adults!), observe nature & see Fortlandia a whole new way. It’s also a really fun souvenir! We’ve had lots of parents, public school/homeschool groups and grown-up kids tell us that the Passforts really enhanced their visit. Free for members and just a couple bucks for non-members — pick yours up (+ a cute Fortlandia pencil) at the Kiosk. Want to share your observations/creations? Show us! #Fortlandia
