- $25 – Green Spaces are slightly less desirable spaces, but still great! # 22, 23 and 24 are over a sidewalk, so there are two levels in your space – which is cool, right?! #42 is in the museum (c0mes with a 2.5×5′ table) with space for you to add a second table that you bring). #39 is outside in a great spot near the patio and classrooms.
