Unfortunately I’ll have to update this review because I didn’t actually get to go in the fort but I did go on the hike and it was about a mile long in the woods I really enjoyed it

I mean... It is what you see. Nothing more nothing less. A recently made fort to mimic a old fort that they used to battle people from their home lands. If they put a nice park in the middle with some sun shades that would make it useful. Idk.
