What it is

Cornwall Park's winter scavenger hunt sends families roaming across the park in search of seasonal discoveries, with clues leading to accessible locations dotted throughout the grounds. Pick up a sheet from the Huia Lodge Discovery Hub, or download and print one at home before setting off.

The pace is entirely up to the family — linger and savour each find, or turn it into a friendly race between siblings and whānau to see who can spot them all first. The only thing to remember to bring is a pen or pencil.

It's a low-pressure way to explore corners of the park that might otherwise go unnoticed, and the hunt rewards repeat visits too, with the promise of a new delight each time.

Where this fits

Every one of these is a list we keep for Auckland families.
