Alien Treasure Hunt at Auckland Botanic Gardens

Drop in any time between 10am-12 and explore the Potter Children’s Garden through the eyes of an alien on their first visit to Earth. Go on a hunt to find some natural treasures and discover more about our planet’s special habitats, plants and animals.

Bring a large empty egg carton to create a collection box for your specimens. Take home a Zinnia seed – the first type of flower ever grown in space!

Suitable for ages 3+. Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
