Scavenger Hunt: Fairy Friends

@ Frelinghuysen Arboretum

The fairies have sprinkled their magic all around the park—leaving clues for this month’s photo scavenger hunt in gardens, beneath leaves, and along enchanted trails. Bring your camera, follow their trail, and see if you can spot them all. Complete the quest and earn a fairy-appr…

This one’s a low-key delight for anyone who’s ever wanted a legitimate excuse to crouch under a garden shrub with their phone camera. Starting July 13, Frelinghuysen Arboretum runs a photo scavenger hunt from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, sending you through the gardens, beneath leaves, and along what the organizers are calling enchanted trails in search of fairy clues. Spot them all and you’ll earn a “fairy-approved prize,” which is a real thing the listing says and we’re choosing to take at face value. Bring a camera, a curious kid, and the willingness to look slightly unhinged photographing a flower bed. Check the Morris County Parks site for registration details.
