Scavenger Hunts

Two scavenger hunts are usually available throughout the Flower and Garden Festival.

  • Spike’s Pollen-Nation Exploration: Look for Spike the Bee as he leaves a pollination trail throughout various gardens and flower beds throughout the festival.
  • Egg-Stravaganza Hunt: This limited-time scavenger hunt is available in the weeks before Easter. Search the park for eggs resembling beloved Disney bunnies!

Each scavenger hunt typically costs $9.95 (prices subject to change) and includes a prize. We like to pick up the prize at the time of purchase so we don’t forget it later.
