Unplugged Fun for All: Outdoor Musical Instruments for Family Attractions & Inclusive Outdoor Destinations

In a world full of screens and overstimulation, families are seeking unplugged fun — experiences that are hands-on, inclusive, and rooted in nature. Whether you're running a public garden, zoo, farm park, museum, or maze, outdoor musical instruments offer a unique way to engage visitors of all ages and abilities.

Music That Everyone Can Play

No musical training? No problem. These instruments are intuitive and accessible, inviting spontaneous play from toddlers to grandparents. They’re also ideal for guests with sensory sensitivities or differing abilities, including those with autism, offering a calming, creative outlet that encourages exploration without pressure.

🌿 Perfectly in Tune with Nature

Outdoor musical instruments blend beautifully into natural settings — from pollinator gardens to wetland habitats. At Thomas County Park, instruments were installed alongside a pollinator garden to enhance sensory engagement. Similarly, the Kansas Wetlands Education Center used musical play to deepen visitors’ connection to the surrounding environment.

With a mix of traditional-looking instruments and quirky, nature-inspired designs, you can create a space that feels both familiar and full of discovery.

Musical instruments are a fantastic addition to mazes, trails, and large outdoor spaces. They can be installed in one central area or dotted throughout your site to create a musical trail — encouraging movement, curiosity, and interaction at every turn.

Low Maintenance, High Impact

Built from durable, weather-resistant materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and HDPE, these instruments are made for year-round outdoor use. They require minimal maintenance, and best of all — no supervision is needed. Visitors can simply walk up and play, making them ideal for unsupervised areas or self-guided experiences.

Customizable to Your Story

Want to reinforce your attraction’s theme or tell a specific story? Our instruments can be custom-colored, engraved, and arranged to suit your space. With our MyTunes instrument, we can build it to play a recognizable melody or theme tune (copyright permitting) — perfect for branding, storytelling, or creating a memorable visitor experience.
