4-H Grand Ideas Garden Scavenger Hunt

Kids can enjoy a free scavenger hunt adventure at the Grand Ideas Garden this summer. Participants pick up a scavenger hunt sheet—available at the MSU Extension office front desk or in a mailbox at the garden—then explore the grounds to find all the hidden items on their list. Once they've completed the hunt, they can bring their sheet back to the front desk to claim a surprise reward. The activity runs during regular building hours, giving families flexibility to visit anytime throughout the day. This is a great option for families looking for an outdoor activity that keeps kids engaged and curious about nature. The scavenger hunt format makes exploring the garden feel like an adventure, and there's no cost involved. Families should plan their visit between 8 AM and 4 PM on weekdays to ensure the front desk is staffed for picking up materials and turning in completed hunts.
