Register Register

Chase away your family's winter blues with an afternoon at the JC Raulston Arboretum. We challenge you to a scavenger hunt in our gardens! Search the gardens for plant names, take pictures of your family at special places in the garden, or count plants, steps, or bricks to answer our tricky questions.

REQUIRED

Meet us at the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center where we will provide you with your team's booklet of adventures that you will need to find as fast as you can. The best time makes a difference if we have a tie! Bring a camera to document your finds or we can provide you with a camera if you don't have one.

When you finish the scavenger hunt, check in at the Yurt to have your answers checked and see how you place! Points will be awarded for each questions answered correctly. In the event of a tie, the team that checked in earliest at the finish line, the Yurt, will win. Prizes will be given out to teams with the most points.

Please come dressed for the weather as this program will be primarily outdoors!

Groups are welcome to join this activity. Each "family" should consist of at least one adult and no more than 3 adults. Total members of the group should not exceed 7. Groups will only receive one booklet that all answers must be written in and turned in as a complete booklet.
