About this Event
Back by popular demand!
Gather your family and join us for an exciting Scavenger Hunt under the stars. It’s a special way to explore your city botanic garden, when night critters come out and mysterious noises tickle your ears.
Over the course of an hour, you will head off on an expedition through the garden with your family to reach plotted activity stations and complete fun side activities along the way. There will be clues to find, things to collect, discoveries to be made!
Focused on the senses, you’ll meet night creatures, listen to stories and interact with our natural environment. Who knows what you might find?
