An example enclosure includes a base, a plurality of walls extending from the base, and a top disposed opposite the base and connected to at least one of the plurality of walls. The at least one wall includes a light assembly configured to illuminate an interior space of the enclosure at least partly defined by the base and the plurality of walls. The top is moveable toward the base to transition the enclosure from an expanded state to a collapsed state. Additionally, the at least one wall includes a first panel and a second panel movable relative to the first panel. Further, the first and second panels extend substantially parallel to the base when the enclosure is in the collapsed state.
