Encourage children’s innate curiosity and let them lead you on an Earth Quest around the gardens. Work as a team and solve fun challenges at the water engineering play area*, pedal-power generator, weather station, gigantic sun dial and geodesic camera obscura! Hone your observation skills and record your findings on the Earth Quest guide, free and available at reception (le fáil trí Ghaeilge fresin).  Suitable for children with an accompanying adult.

Younger children will love the Nature Detectives trail – look for lots of exciting things in nature and get a reward at the end!
