In Building Boom, visitors can build with more than 10,000 KEVA planks and classic wooden blocks in all shapes and sizes. The magic of KEVA blocks lies in their deceptive simplicity - identical wooden planks that rely purely on physics and imagination to create amazing structures. 

But KEVA isn’t the only star of the show. Classic wooden blocks have a timeless appeal and have been loved by generations of kids. With all kinds of shapes—like arches, cylinders, and cubes—they invite children to build in creative ways.  

Block play is where young architects come to life! Kids naturally explore geometry, balance, and cause-and-effect as they stack and create. Building with blocks develops crucial skills like spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and hand-eye coordination while teaching math concepts through play. The open-ended fun sparks imagination—from simple towers to elaborate cities—while encouraging teamwork and communication when children build together. 

What You Learn: 

  • Collaboration 
  • Iteration 
  • Puzzle Solving 
  • Three-dimensional thinking  
  • Sense of scale
