Family Photo Scavenger: Blossoms & Butterflies
June is peak butterfly season, and what better place to spot these incredible insects than an arboretum? Bring your family and see all the colors a butterfly can be — and the flowers that support them. Finish the scavenger hunt and get a prize.
June is peak butterfly season, and Frelinghuysen Arboretum is about as good a place as any to prove that to your kids without resorting to a YouTube video. The scavenger hunt runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 16, and the premise is solid: wander the grounds, photograph blossoms and butterflies in as many colors as you can find, and finish the hunt to collect a prize. Bring your camera, your most enthusiastic child, and the patience to stand very still while a swallowtail decides whether your sleeve is a flower. Check the Morris County Parks listing for registration details.
