Net Maze
Opened in May 2026, Net Maze is one of Delaware Children’s Museum’s newest and most exciting play experiences. Suspended high above the exhibit floor, this colorful climbing adventure is connected to DCM’s iconic Kokoun climbing structure by an elevated bridge, creating a one-of-a-kind journey of exploration, movement, and discovery.
Children can climb, crawl, balance, and navigate their way through an interconnected network of pathways and climbing chimneys designed to inspire confidence, encourage active play, and spark imagination. Whether crossing the bridge between Kokoun and Net Maze, conquering new heights, or finding their own route through the structure, every visit offers a new adventure.
Both Kokoun and Net Maze are accessible by elevator, allowing guests of all ages and abilities to enjoy the excitement of these signature climbing experiences and their accompanying observation decks. As guests explore, they are surrounded by vibrant artwork, colorful hanging buoys, and impactful murals. These thoughtful design elements create an immersive environment that sparks curiosity, encourages exploration, and adds an enriching visual dimension to every adventure.
Whether racing to the top, finding a secret hideaway, or making new friends along the way, every visit offers a new and exciting experience. It’s the perfect place for adults and children to learn and play, burn off energy, spark imagination, and experience the joy of climbing, exploring, and discovering together.
