Architect David Rockwell's landmark loose-parts playground lets kids build their own play space from giant blue foam blocks, wagons, fabric and crates, mixed with sand and water play in a boat-shaped Seaport setting. It closes only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, and school groups can reserve visits via 311.
