St. Patrick’s Day Green and Growing Scavenger Hunt
Celebrate St Patrick's Day with a self-guided scavenger hunt looking for shamrocks and clues that the Leprechaun has left behind. Clues lead families on a nice walk in the garden and prompt kids to use their senses and eyes to find something special in the garden.
Registrants receive a map with suggested waking trail locating shamrock signs and clues. Complete your tasks and trail map, finishing near the Visitors' Center to find a pot of gold and a treasure.
Rain cancels the program. Face coverings and physical distancing are required.
Note: While we are trying to promote safer activities that occur outdoors or with social distancing guidelines in place, please keep your family and others safe by always wearing a mask and maintaining appropriate distance. If you arrive at an event that appears too crowded, try using the “nearby” search feature on our event calendar to find something else to do.
