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 it. This self-guided family scavenger hunt runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 21st, sending you and the kids out to photograph blooms and butterflies in all their midsummer glory. Complete the hunt and you’ll walk away with a prize, which is a better return on a Sunday morning than most of us manage. Bring your phone, your most observant kid, 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.
