Family Orienteering
Overview
Take a forest adventure these school holidays...
Collect your map from the Information Desk at the Visitors Centre and head out to search for hidden clues in the forests and gardens of the Arboretum.
Each letter you find brings you one step closer to solving a botanical secret!
This is a drop in activity and no bookings are required.
Please note that the course is spread through the forests and you will encounter uneven terrain in your search for clues. They recommended that participants wear sturdy shoes, sun protection and weather-appropriate clothing.
