Discover Nature Together Scavenger Hunts
January 31 2027 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Free, donations appreciated
All ages, minors must be accompanied by an adult
Bring the whole family to the Houston Arboretum for free themed scavenger hunts! Each month features a themed scavenger hunt where families can join us just outside of the Nature Center side entrance by the large, paved courtyard before heading out to the trails to sharpen their observation skills and learn something new about nature. From winter wildlife to pollinators and aquatic life, every adventure is different!
Please come prepared for the outdoors (closed toe shoes recommended, bring a water bottle, bug spray, etc).
