The best fort is the one the kids build by themselves.

Well, if you had asked me at age 7, I would have said something involving a moat filled with piranhas. Hmmm....I still like the idea.

Don’t build it for the kids buid it for yourself. With CW2 on the way you never know when you might need it.
I suggest reinforced concrete and a ventilation system that ejects tear gas quickly.

Just tell them the ground is lava and they have to deal with it. They’ll have lots of fun. A bicycle turned upside down is a crank engine and a ships wheel, by the way. They can navigate the lava that way.

I had decided how to answer before reading ...
You build it and they will use it a week or a month, OK maybe a year if it is superb.
Let them build it from plastic and scrap and they will spend that long “improving it”.
Sorry, but this is from almost 75 years of experience and observation. The last grandchild had a 5K fort and exercise area. After 2 years of no use they could not even get anyone to come and take it away free...
Some ideas here for making it a family area might be good.

Go to a junk yard. Buy copious amounts of old steering wheels, gear shift knobs, dials, switches, etc.
Install everywhere.
The kids will take care of the rest.
To: shatcher
Just give the kids a half dozen refrigerator boxes, a couple of rolls of duct tape....... and get out of their way

Here's what I built for my kids:
It has a trapdoor in the main deck leading to the hold, as well as a door in the back that leads out of the hold at ground level. I have since cut portholes in the hold to let more light in. A few other amenities have also been added (like a bell).
(Sorry about the image size - no way to reduce it right now.)
